Is there an easier way to complete a .eu sale?

Hi Olebean,

As with Nominet, Eurid have their set transfer process, whereby the buyer contacts his registrar and asks them to start a trade request, and Eurid then send out an e-mail to both seller and buyer asking them to click on a link to confirm the trade.

In my experience, the key to getting a .eu transfer done quickly is which registrar the buyer uses. There are many registrars out there, even a lot of the smaller mainland European ones, who have no idea what a trade request is. I remember a poor Dutch customer whose registrar slammed the phone down on him when he insisted that trade requests exist!

Nevertheless, if both parties act promptly and the buyer's registrar know what they are doing, .eu's go through pretty quickly - I've had plenty go through in a couple of days. I can't really post recommended registrars on the Forum, but please PM/e-mail me if you would like recommendations.

Regards,

Shaun

I don't need a recommended registrar, I have a buy who has taken just short of a month and still no trade request. Would it be prudent for sedo to ask the buyer if they are having problems?

Hope you get it sorted mate

Ho hum:

Unfortunately, we have had no choice but to cancel the transfer for this domain. Despite our best efforts the seller was unwilling to complete this domain transfer.

What is interesting is an email recieved on the 17th from Sedo:

We have finaly reached the seller via phone. He has explained that he is not willing to proceed with the transfer as long as you have taken back the posts in some forums. We have already informed him that we were waiting far to long for the forms and he is bound to the contract with you. Unfortunately he was uncooperativ in this case.

Therefore we would like to ask you to take back the posts in the certain forums. If this is not possible or if you are not willing to this we will have to cancel this transaction as the seller does not want to continue with this transfer.


Thus it seems Sedo sales agreements are as binding as toilet paper handcuffs as far as Sedo is concerned.

Not happy with Auction / Sales price? Who cares, just dont sell it

I did point out to the seller and Sedo:

I am happy to co-operate fully and I will edit (and request deletion of) the posts once the transaction is complete ie. the domain name is in my name and on my TAG, as going by his previous form I do not believe that he will enact the transfer so rather wait another several months for him to comply I would like to see some good faith from him first.

I am sure if he is genuine that this will not be an issue.


It seems Mr Roland Seiber of Internetweit has spotted this post and thinks it is damaging, which is odd considering it is his course of action that has led down this road.

Sadly it looks like I will have to take further advice on this, and hopefully Sedo are supportive in me doing so.

I say I hope, as the reply from Shaun regarding the meeting Sedo had to discuss policy on non-completing traders was less than convincing, as apparently 'some' are pushing for stricter rules, which implies some are not, or are meeting resistance.

No doubt more to come in the future , but for the mean time be wary buying and selling on Sedo and certainly do not buy from Roland Sieber of internetweit.de as it seems he does not like completing his side of a deal.

Cheers,
Rob.

Hi Rob,

Your frustration is completely justified with what went on here, but I promise that a huge amount of effort went into this transaction from our part. I can also tell you that action HAS been taken against the seller for backing out of this transaction, and your posts here can also act as a warning to other domainers as to the consequences of pulling out of transfers.

We are aware that such cases, as well as wasting our time and that of our customers, can shake confidence in our sales platform, so we have nothing to gain by just ignoring them. I am sure you can appreciate I cannot post too many details about Sedo staff meetings on a forum, but rest assured this issue is still being discussed.

Feel free to give me a call at any time if you want to discuss this further.

Regards,

Shaun
