Hi Ash,

Whilst you are around to clarify things please can you clarify the following situation for me. I once had some domain names listed with yourselves, a third party had then used your "hire a broker" service to negotiate with me for the purchase of a particular generic .co.uk domain name. During the course of negotiation I asked for clarification on who was to pay Sedo 10% should a transaction be completed. I was told that as the domain was listed on Sedo I as the seller would be the party liable to pay 10%.

So in effect, if a transaction was concluded, I would be paying Sedo for the privilege of having Sedo negotiate AGAINST me! (quite agressively I might add!). The negotiations by that point has reached £25,000 GBP which would have meant paying Sedo £2,500 to have you agressively negotiate against me! We did not reach a mutually agreeable price and this rediculous situation did not help.

Has policy now changed? If not, does this mean that anyone can use your hire a broker service for free to directly negotiate with domain holders that have desired domain listed on your site?

Regards
Martin
