Payment currency and amount? Am I going nuts?

rjs_essex · Dec 18, 2007

Surely this can't be the first time i've spotted this...

In 'Domain Management' the Revenue field is showing as pounds sterling (£).

In 'Domain Parking' the Revenue field is showing as Euros (€).

Not a problem so far however - both amounts are identical! Which means I am potentially losing out when it comes to payout. :???:

Does anyone else have the same problem? Or has it always been like this and I'm being retarded?...

Rich :???:

I can confirm your findings, it isn't obvious as their € sign looks a lot like their £ sign and its very small at high res.

I will question Sedo directly.

I also noticed there are problems on the traffic stat on sedo's auction page, my domain name on auction was showed around 5,000 for the last 32 days, now it's just 22???? which does not match with my statistic on Sedo.

I have notice this was not just my one, also alot of other names currently on sale at sedo, saw their stat suddenly reduced to less than 10!

I think this will cause problems as buyers will think they bought a name with very low traffic

I had a weird problem with Sedo once, when I asked them if I could be paid in $ instead of Euros. They said fine and switched me over to $. Trouble was, my earnings immediately dropped by a % suspiciously similar to the difference between Euros and $ at the time.

When I questioned them, they said that since $ were worth less than Euros, I would clearly be earning less if I chose to be paid in $! Rather than bang my head against this brick wall any further, I just asked to be switched back to Euros.

Is there an option to be paid in sterling? On the same logic, we would be much better off!

I have met recently with senior management of Sedo to discuss your issues, let me know anything else as they are putting together a list to be addressed.

Excellent stuff Admin! Its certainly a strange one this...

Of course the other thing you could bring up is there appalling site security... although it has been brought up many times here on the forum and nothing has ever changed...
