After insisting, insisting, and insisting, finally got the following recipe, which works quite well:

I’ve been in contact with our project management team and think there is a solution to your query.

In regards to using the keyword watchlist tool to notify you of a particular TLD, it is not currently possible. The tool is designed to monitor domain name keywords, not including the TLD in the keyword search.

A work around solution would be to setup a RSS feed for .XX domain names.

This can be done by the following steps:

• Login to your Sedo account
• Go to the homepage and click on advanced search
• Open up extensions and select .ly and .me TLD’s and click apply
• This will bring up search result of domains will .XX TLD’s
• From the same section you chose the TLD’s, click save search and name the search something.
• Go to the my saved searches tab and click on the RSS icon.
• This will give you the opportunity to use your most convenient RSS viewer to see any changes to this search criteria.

You can play around with the search results and change the date to show domains added in the last 24 hours or similar.

Thank you very much for this!

Recently Sedo contacted him to say they have received an offer for one of the domains….. which he actually dropped.

He checked it immediately, and it was free – no one had registered it…. So he quickly got it from GoDaddy and logged into Sedo accepting 500 EUR offer.

Client pushed the funds to Sedo’s account straight away and now they have made account exchanges and push the name to Sedo’s account.

Call it New Year Bonus from Sedo indeed.

I trust life treats you good right before the Christmas commences. It must be jolly at Cologne Dome these days anyways.

On the other note, a thought I would love to share with you. It can be a great improvement for Sedo services.

Currently, when someone writes a note (comment), it needs to be approved by a Sedo member of stuff.

Your comment is currently under review by Sedo Staff and will be displayed within 1 business day.

This usually takes longer than one can remember and forgets to follow up. However Sedo system makes it very inconvenient and informs the counterparty straight away while the comment is not approved yet.

It would be helpful to receive the notification later, or to receive another reminder once again when the note is approved and is available for reading.

All the major competitors, for instance GoDaddy, have abolished comment reviews already a while ago.

I hope this only helps making Sedo more convenient and hence more practical and better performing.

With best regards,
London Domainer

Recently responding to the bid of $160 for cheap.ly system took it to the sale page, one click and “sold”. Sedo was warn about the mistake, but decided not to stop the buyer. The buyer-not-to-be paid to Sedo, and there goes exchange of emails:

This is a mistake. I have pressed the wrong button. I was not going to sell this domain for $160. I was inputing EUR 60000 counter offer.

Please revert back to the bidding stage.

You have entered a binding agreement to sell this domain name to the buyer at this price. If you are unwilling to go ahead with the sale, then we will have to cancel the transfer, and you will be at fault. The buyer would be provided with your contact details should they wish to pursue legal action against you, and your account will be reviewed by our Security Team. Please confirm that you will go ahead with this sale. Thank you.

Dear Xxxxxx,

There is certainly a usability issue with new Sedo layout as, when in rush, I already, for the second time this year, pressed a wrong button.

Instead of submitting to the counter offer bid page, I was led to the sale page, which looks confusingly similar to the former.

Of course, no one is going to sell cheap.ly domain name for 10 EUR net.

This is for your information only, so that you pass it to the corresponding department within Sedo. They should review the new design and make corresponding improvments.

As I am not the only one having these issues, for the second time this year – it is a clear signal Sedo needs to tackle the issue seriously.

Sincerely yours,
Xxxx

Hi Xxxx. I will pass this on, however please confirm if you are going to proceed with the transfer. If not, then as stated, I will have to cancel the transfer. Thank you

Yes, please cancel the transfer and if possible put it to the negotaiation phase.

Dear Mr Schumacher,

I trust the summer is treating you well.

I receive many bids on Sedo and what I miss in a standard phrase, something in this order:

“Your bid is too low. Let’s negotiate.”

Of course, I can type it in, but then it needs to be approved by a member of Sedo stuff and is not showed instantly. The buyers see the highly capped prices (usually a multiple of the price I would agree to) and many of them give up at once without considering further fruitful negotiations.

Having something stimulating in the drop-down box – would really boost negotiations.

If Sedo can add it in the coming weeks – it will be win-win-win for everyone, sellers, buyers, Sedo as well.

Sincere.ly!
