Has it ever happened to you that you had pressed a wrong button? Many peoplehave this issue, especially with new Sedo design.

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.
