15% commission on fixed price parked domain

You do not have to offer the listed price you can offer less.

You can set a minimum offer price though.

Fixed price = buy now.

Make offer = negotiate

Expect some 20% commission sales too

.uk domains ARE promoted via SedoMLS (Basic not premium)

If a domain name is pointed at sedo then 10% should be the max charged.
I won't deal at 15 or 20% Where I have the name pointed at sedo.
It's an easy find for a purchaser, it's continual exposure for sedo on top of ppc earnings. I'm now begining to wonder that when a co uk domain is pointed at a buy it now page ( co uk names are quickly and easily transfered ) how they can justify even the 10%. They are, under most circumstances taking the pee.

If you want to have your cake and eat it too, you could in theory* point the domain directly at a sales page, but also list it at a fixed price on Sedo that's 20% higher than your own "direct" price - so if somebody turns it up via a Sedo partner you make the same as if you sold it direct, and if anyone spots it on Sedo then types it in they think they're getting a "bargain" by paying 20% less to buy it straight from you.

*I've not tried this but I can't see a flaw in the logic (assuming you're not VAT registered - Sedo don't handle VAT well)

To me the most logical course is to cancell any offer that includes a 15 or 20% tag and then direct the name to a landing page with a buy it now price at the offer they have made, not very gentleman like but neither is charging 15% when the offer has been acheived through a direct link by the target domain.

You misunderstood me - I meant point the name at YOUR sale page, not Sedo's sale page...
