I apologise to all of you experiencing delays with .uk transfers, and promise you that your transfer agents are doing everything they can to complete the transfers as quickly as possible.
Hi Shaun,
When i receive a message from Sedo that payment has been received for a .co.uk domain on the 16th of Juli and send in the necessary documents from my end i find it odd that my transfer agent is unable to make a direct call to the buyer to wrap things up.
Today a reminder email has been send (to speed things up) as my transfer agent told me and when i mentioned if it would not be possible to give the buyer a direct call i was told that after a reminder has been send the buyer is allowed to have 7 days to respond.
So from now i have to wait 7 days if the buyer doesn't return the forms before a new contact will be established to complete this transfer and get things into gear.
I really can't understand this Sedo policy, i understand transfer agents have protocols to follow but this type of protocol is just silly in my opinion.
On top of that the buyer is a partner of Sedo.com so this is even more mind boggling.
As a seller i feel compelled to make the transfer as smoothly and quick as possible to conclude everything in a appropriate manor.
And i do everything i can to act accordingly to accomplish this.
We are now at August 2nd and nothing is being done to actually get things done because of such a silly protocol in place, the need to wait for 7 days before a transfer agent is allowed to place a call.
In my situation when you look at the dates involved i find this very disappointing.
Common guys (Sedo) allow your transfer agents to make a call to buyers or sellers.
A call should have been made now but now it's being delayed even more!
From a business point of view i couldn't live with that, to keep buyers or sellers waiting so long, that counts for buyers and sellers that causes delays in not filling the forms needed but also for Sedo not acting up more appropriately to speed things up.
A little less email and a little more personal contact
That would solve a lot of unnecessary delays that are and have been occurring with .co.uk domains.
Thanks for adding my 2 cents!
Edwin
