Sedo Auction problem?

[redbird]

I currently have a domain BALLOONZ.CO.UK up for auction at Sedo

My question is, if someone types it into the search box on the home page the result you get is

balloonz.co.uk already registered Acquire it for me.

Surely this is going to put off the majority of potential buyers (it would me) as it suggests that the domain isn't actually for sale. I doubt many will proceed with the acquire it for me link. However if the result was to say this domain is currently in an auction and ends in a couple of days the likelyhood of someone clicking the link to the auction must be pretty high.

I don't understand the logic behind it when there are RSS feeds and the like to promote domains in auctions, why miss out on this trick when the searcher has already said he's interested in a domain by searching for it.

By searching for balloonz.co.uk on Sedo I find it very difficult to actually discover that it is in auction.

Is this how it is supposed to work or is there something wrong with Sedo or me?

I see your problem.

A search for "balloonz" without adding co.uk brings up a page with all common extensions. Just below that is a heading:
Active Auctions matching your search criteria:
where the domain name is listed and a single bid has so far been placed.

It seems your half way there.

Hi Dave,

We're just looking into this and why it's not matching up.

Please bear with us!

Thanks

.co.uk domains do not appear when you search the auctions!
other gtld's appear but the .uk search page is blank

Hi Dave,

You've probably already seen, but just wanted to check, balloonz.co.uk all appears fine.

Nice name ;-)

Have a great weekend.
