Someone trying to sell my domain?

[klarth]

I own the domain weird.name and I was wondering if my DNS changes showed up in whois.sc, so I went to search my domain and it told me that weird.name is for sale. I found that odd since I never put it on sale, so I clicked on the link and it went to this Sedo page:

http://www.sedo.com/search/details....7955458&tracked=1&partnerid=17505&language=us

I don't think I've ever put this domain on Sedo since I really like it; is it possible that someone is trying to sell my domain?

The way I understand SEDO to work..
It shouldn't be listed there unless it is in someone's account.
If that is the case, it should have been "verified" when they added it to their account.

I would contact SEDO and ask them if it is in someone's account and why it's there "unverified"
as you are the owner.

Depending on how you acquired it, if it was owned by someone else before, chances they had it listed at Sedo way back when, the old link is still up there. As mis_chiff pointed out, you can contact Sedo to have them check this and have it removed.

Happens to a lot of dropped domains i bought at reg fee. Many of them still hanging 4-8k 'for sale' price tags at sedo. Just send them an email, and they'll check it out, then remove them.

It happens all the time. The previous owner must have added it to his sedo account and then never removed.

The thing is, there was no previous owner. I've owned this domain since .name came out. I'm trying to remember if I did put it on sale at one time, and I do remember having a sedo account and putting some domains on sale but I don't think this was one of them, since this is one of my favorite domains.

Also, I've looked up weird.name in whois.sc before and it never said it was on sale until now, which is odd. I've tried to log into my Sedo account but maybe it was deleted since all my e-mails don't work. Anyways, I've already sent in a support ticket so I hope this can be resolved soon.

Sedo says:

(You need to be logged in to see these details). Maybe it was you.

Maybe, but I tried logging in with all my e-mails and it said each one didn't exist within their system.
