    Hi Everyone,

    For the month of August, Sedo will contribute 10 USD/EUR/GBP for every transaction closed for 1,000 USD/EUR/GBP or more through Sedo to the SedoCares’ Wishing Well. For every transaction closed under 1,000 USD/EUR/GBP we will contribute 1 USD/EUR/GBP.

    At the end of the month half of the money will be donated to CHF International , an organization that is working in response to the drought occurring in Ethiopia, and the other half will be given to a buyer or seller, drawn at random, who closed a transaction through Sedo between August 1st, 6 pm EST and August 31st, 6 pm EST. If the winner resides in North America they will receive their winnings in US Dollars, otherwise the prize will be in Euros or GBP. The more transactions a buyer or seller closes during the month, the more chances they have to win!

    About CHF International:


    Due to the lack of access to clean water, the women and children of Dhabardulel, Ethiopia are currently travelling for miles on foot in extreme heat to surrounding wells for water; forcing them to leave their families, jobs and schooling for days in order to make the trips. Our donation from the “Wishing Well” promotion will build a brand new well for over 30,000 of these villagers in Dhabardulel so they no longer need to travel for water.


    For more information, please visit our homepage:

    As always, feel free to contact me with any questions.

    Thanks!

    Shaun

    It would be good if you could prevent non paying bidders then you may be able to donate more to charity. I have had a 7K deal fall through the other week due to the high bidder at auction not paying up, and further problems with another sale.

    It's becoming a miracle if a sale goes through on Sedo just recently.

    I suspect that bidders do their research after "buying" the name or discover that they do not have enough cash to go ahead!

    Hi Guys,

    As always, feel free to contact me at any time regarding cancelled transactions or buyers who didn't pay, and I will investigate for you. However, I respectfully ask that we keep this thread related to the promotion.

    Regards,

    Shaun

    That particular sale was a buyer from Saudi Arabia with incorrect telephone details, and would not respond to any email after the sale.

    Not really the seller's choice to sell above 1,000 USD is it, maybe you should promote to the buyers?
