When is the next SEDO auction on UK soil?

[SkyHigh]

Can anyone please advise me when the next SEDO auction is please on UK soil?

Too, how does one go about submitting a domain/s for the next SEDO auction?

What criteria has to be met to be accepted?

What are the terms and conditions?

How quickly do they pay out assuming a domain is sold through auction?

Is it a fairly painless process or do they make the process overly complicated and drawn out?

How many names can one put into the next live on UK soil SEDO auction at a time?

Is it possible to sell names together as a package, i.e. with the .com and the .co.uk prefixes?

Many thanks.

I believe there is a .uk targeted auction being pencilled in for April/May 2008 , however it is not being run by people such as Sedo/Domainfocus/DomainChannel/TRAFFIC and the like.

As for submitting names, I am sure that info will come out nearer the time.

 

[SkyHigh]

April/May?!! Blimey, that's yonks away.

OK, how do I put the names I have in to the Sedo auction on their website please?

Assistance would be really appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hello Skyhigh,

If you are interested in submitting your domain names onto auction, I would advise you to apply directly through your Sedo account. When logged in, go to the Domain Management section, select the domain(s) you wish to submit and then choose from the drop down menu at the bottom of the page "apply for premium auction".

I hope that this helps,

Your Sedo Team

Be aware that if you get accepted, then you're committed to selling via Sedo for at least 6 months (if it's the same contract I saw). So you won't be able to make use of other venues, e.g. conferences and the like...

I'm afraid to say, no it doesn't help a fat lot no.

You say, go to the Domain Management section and then to select the domains that I wish to submit, ok, done that, and then you go on to say to choose from the drop down menu at the bottom of the page, "Apply for premium auction".

Well unless I'm missing something absolutely bleedingly obvious, I cannot for the life of me see any drop down menu at the bottom of the page that gives me that option, so where the dickens is it?

Been asking Sedo for days for help and so far my confidence in your service as a new client, is at a very low ebb.

Why not make things absolutely obvious? Why do the most simple things have to be so complicated? Why not design a site with the end user in mind and especially new users? Or is it just me?

For petes sake, I just want to get this sorted out once and for all!!

Many thanks for your assistance.

Might have read better Sedo, if you had written, 'See the red Execute box, just to the left of that is a drop down menu, click on the arrow, and there you will see the option to apply for the premium auction'.

Now that would have made sense. Streuth!

At the bottom of the page my foot!

Oakey doakey, at least we're getting there, even if it is at 2mph.

Close to swearing here again. This is just bloody hopeless. What an absolutely pathetic system!!

Just went to enter two more domains, my supplywood.com and supplywood.co.uk

Went through all the steps, yes I do want to sell them, yes I am listing it in pounds and put in my minimum price. Get to the end of the process.

The supplywood.com looks fine, everything is as it should be, but suddenly for some blinkin unfathomable reason, the supplywood.co.uk is now showing up with a red exclamation mark on the left and it says Not For Sale.

No, that is not what I clicked, I clicked that it was for sale, why would I be blinkin putting it on there if it was not for sale? Delete it to start again. Go through the entire rigmarole again.

Still doesn't accept it and lo and behold the supplywood.com is now showing up for sale in Euros and not pounds.

If this software program was a physical object, it just makes you want to take it outside and beat it senseless with a sledgehammer.

What the friggin hell is going on?

Sedo you might be amongst the biggest boys on the market when it comes to selling domain names but the user control domain management panel, is a complete crock of shite.

Bleedin' hell, what do you think I've got, all day and all night to sort out what should be a relatively simple task?

Whoever designed this software needs a whopping great boot up the arse.

It's patheticly cr**.:shock:

If you want a laugh have a look at their services prices

Appraisal is 49 Euros.

However, you can either pay in USD$ or Euro ... which at current exchange rates:
49E = 34.1026 GBP
49 USD$ = 23.9164 GBP

Lets not even get to the 'Sedo charging comission on VAT' arguement!

I thnk that contract allows one to sell elsewhere but Sedo still have title to a 10% cut of the sale price. How would Sedo enforce it though?

If it is the same way they enforce the sales contracts on normal names, they will take people to the court of SFA infront of Judge Lenient and find them Not Guilty.

By that I mean, they probably will not

That's what estate agents do in the UK so it's probably enforceable if the contract is written properly.

Sedo really to get an auction organised well before the end of March.

Tax on company dividends goes up to 18% on 6 April which means if you sell a domain and want your cash - you're going to be 8% worse off.
