Sedo fees are … Ridiculuos ?

Couldn’t find any word to say.

Just got an offer for one of my old domain names on Sedo.

The fact is I’ve never sold any domain name specially on Sedo so I was shocked when I saw sedo fees deducted from the sales price ! You can take a look at the table below and I’m sure you will have the same idea.

Sales Price: 60 EUR
Less Sedo Fees: -50 EUR
Amount to be paid: 10 EUR

I think it’s really more than anything to be called a Sale Commission !

50 Euros for what ???!!

What did they do on such potential sale ?

Anyway I didn’t accept this offer but I thought it may be interesting for others to know.( If you haven’t tried Sedo )

Cheers,

Soroush

    I was shocked at the appraised value SEDO placed on a domain name I was interested in purchasing. I paid the broker fee up front. The domain name I wanted was not active. I spoke with another person who tried the same thing and decided to leave the offer on the table and walk away. It just appears to be a scam because all they want to do is email and one really does not know who one is emailing. They will never call to discuss the fees. If one is to pay high prices to purchase a domain name at lease show some customer service and call a potential client when requested. It is all about relationships.
