Sedo solves IDN problem...?

[ekal]

Anyone see this new change to the SEDO auctions.... they add a little "IDN" sign next to all IDNs, so people won't get tricked by pìmp.com and others.

Auctions:

Thats much more clearer now - good move sedo

Domain Name without content.
Important Notice: This is a Multi-Lingual (IDN) Domain.
Technically you are acquiring the domain xn--pmp-nma.com

yup, thats a good move indeed

An even better move on Sedos behalf would be to completly ban all such auctions. These types of domains have nothing to do with IDN at all.

Chances of Sedo doing this though are zero !!

Agreed.

I think the ID tag they have implemented is a good thing but they still don't reveal the actual URL which is the final step in full disclosure. (EDIT - I see they are now doing just that on the 2nd page.) But I certainly don't want to see them saying no to any IDN's that are not correct spelled words. I really don't want Sedo telling me how to spell something. Where would that end? Are they now the typo police? Complete disclosure is the solution, not censorship.

Apparently they read these forums, because they seemed to have adopted that word for word from what someone here had posted. It is definitely the right thing to do. Now all they have to do is change the auction format and force buyers to pay when a price agreement is reached
