What's strange about it? Sedo will insert bid-less names into the auction if they think they're valuable enough. Being from the same seller, the names would have listed at the same time and an interested party could have stuck an initial bid in quick-fire succession on each one. I do that from time to time - scan down the auction list and then stick bids on 2-3 names that caught my eye, bang bang bang!

It's hardly beyond the realm of possibility, that's for sure. I doubt there's anything "sinister" going on...

One person bids £1000 on three names within two minutes of each other to send to Sedo auction but thats nothing sinister?

As I was trying to explain, Sedo will list names in auction even with no bids, if an agreement is made with them first (and if they think the names are good enough).

So the owner of those names could have written to their Sedo Pro rep and agreed which names would be added to the auction, and then Sedo would have listed them a few hours/days later as a batch, with 0 bids.

Sometime after that, someone came along, saw all the names and bid on 3 of them.

Hi Everyone,

We are just looking into this, and I'll update my post when my colleagues get back to me.

So, we've had a second look into this (a fake check is always made in cases like this) and we have found nothing untoward. We do understand that it could look a bit strange, but my colleagues in customer service assure me that such bidding patterns are common.

We are improving our ability to spot auction fakes all the time, which is great news for us and for our customers!

For any more questions about this, feel free to contact me.

Regards,

Shaun

Usually the sedo auction gets captured by google, I can't see any of these. Does anyone have a link to the Sedo auctions for them?

Only just read this thread but seems easy enough to explain.

I recently had offers on 5 of my names with only 16mins seperating the first and last offer and all for the same amount of money.

These offers were obviously made by the same person.

If I put all 5 names to auction they would all start and end within 16mins of each other.

The person who made the offer becomes bidder1 in each case.
