They can do it!

Sedo usually get a rough time on here but credit where it's due. I sold a fixed price name at 13.02 today and at 14.37 the buyer had the domain in his name and I had a credit note.

Thanks Sedo!

How can they justify 10% for that ?
Oh and let us know when the money is in your bank.

Yeah, and those German bank fees that are skimmed of your amount.

If you use paypal there are no fees.

I've had a flood of domain sales on sedo this week - not sure why but maybe at last all the extra sales channels they are opening up are delivering - but all have gone smoothly. If I am getting a constant trickle of sales then I am happy to pay a fee. Obviously I wish it was lower but it beats flogging my names on here for �20.

How can people begrudge a company a miserly 10% or 15% commission when their own mark-up is exponentially greater?

It may not be greater, it could well be that you are trading a name at a loss.

I guess it depends on both how and why the buyer came via Sedo. If they delivered a NEW buyer, then there's nothing to begrudge and it's a great service. If they delivered a buyer that would have found you anyway, it's essentially a "tax" for sitting in the middle but not contributing to the process.

I'm sure it was just a glitch

Sorry Edwin I disagree, to me, at 10% it's a value added escrow service.

Websaway, I dont understand your point, are you saying that it's Sedo's fault if you choose to sell a name at a loss? You set the price so you can load 10% on your margin to cover the commission.
