Sedo shows sellers' banks' country to public on detail page, as if it is important. A buyer can't make an offer without seeing this data. Also nonbuyers can see this data as well.
This is against privacy and gdpr. There is no risk of fraud, so why show it. But showing seller's IP makes sense, because domain owners can already point a domain to any site, and learn all visitors' IP.

Buyers can say, this country is poor, so I won't pay a premium price, or I don't like people from this country, so I won't buy.

Most of the money I make from domains goes to Trump's country (unlike most people I don't dislike him), and stays or is spent there, but buyers don't know this.

Why Godaddy?
Can you list domains which are not registered there?

They asked which marketplace "You know nothing about who you are dealing with."

You have no idea who's bidding/buying. That would be GoDaddy, no idea who I'm bidding against or who I sell a domain to, etc. Of course you would know the domain at all the marketplaces and can do some checks on that.

"Can you list domains which are not registered there?"

Yes, I think there is an extra verification step.

In my opinion there is a high demand for semi-anonymous domain marketplaces that work with Bitcoin. Sellers from poor countries are not only disadvantaged for revealing their countries, but also for absence of crypto payment options. Paypal does not work in full in poor countries. On the other hand sellers and buyers from normal and rich countries demand more privacy and anonymity as they being watched 24/7 by companies and their governments.
