Just received this email from Dan.com about commission increases (snippet of email):
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
The 10% commission applies when domains are being
- parked with advertisiments OR using the Sedo Sales lander
- having a BIN OR BuyNow or Best Offer
- sold through the Sedo marketplace directly
If the buyer comes through the SedoMLS network, the commission will be 20%.
My understanding with all of these "lander parking page discounts" is that it does not count for URL redirects.I have all my domains listed for sale at SEDO via URL-forwarding to a SEDO-Landing-Page.
All my domains are having a BIN or a MAKE OFFER and all my domains are using a "Sedo Sales lander" without "Advertisements".
On all my BIN domain-sales in the past, I have paid a 15% comission to SEDO.
I think the comission should have been 10% instead of the charged 15%
So you had a lander on Sedo. It's possible that the sale went through the marketplace rather than the lander, which would have changed the commission from 10% to 15%. The other possibility could be that the lander accidentally had a buy now and "make offer" option on it, rather than the "Buy Now" and Make Best Offer. I recall when I had the landers, it seemed like an easy mistake to make.I parked domain on Sedo and after a sale they charged 15% + vat so total like 20% !!!
SedoMLS was active or why it was 15% ?

Hi
if you click the link that says "more details" under your "net amount credited", then it will show the amount of commission charged and why, as in a marketplace find or mls sale.
imo...
Thanks for help, as alwaysHi

I'm using Sedo for 2 weeks.
I just check, now it's 10%, but now there are new numbers everywhere on Sedo, but not at my bank account !
Where are my $2.13 ?
Hey what's going on ?
It needs investigation, why numbers were changed today after my post here (for @Sedo too)
I didn't got any email or message

Please send us your Sedo user name via PM and we will look into your account settings. As mentioned by another forum user it is likely that URL forwarding might be the reason why the 10% commission wasn't applying. But we'll make sure to look into it once we receive the information from you per PM.I am a SEDO-customer since the year 2000 (for more than 22 years).

I am a bit confused now...
GoDaddy hiring James as 'community manager' a week or 2 before going public with this:-
Since your request got covered as well in the Sedo thread, we're just checking in to confirm that your Sedo transfer agent has reached out to you via email with more information. Glad, that we were able to sort things out.Thanks for help, as always

Its very funny, Tea Leoni is excellent too. I think you'll enjoy it.I can't believe I never watched this classic JC movie!
That is already happening to some extent.GoDaddy does not bother to serve httpS traffic on ns5/ns6 landers. Resultingly, some domains switched to these landers may stop receiving any human traffic at all. Affected domains are those where previous owners opted for inclusion into "HSTS Preload" (https-only) domains list used by chrome and other browsers:
https://hstspreload.org
Ok, it says that no more elgible domains may (not must) be removed automatically. Also, "Be aware that inclusion in the preload list cannot easily be undone. Domains can be removed, but it takes months for a change to reach users with a Chrome update and we cannot make guarantees about other browsers."
Did GD think about this? No.
Or, did GD think about adblockers? Adblockers also tend to block websites which are not useful. For example, hugedomains is affected. Try to visit hugedomains [or any of their forsale domains] with ublock origin enabled (and, just in case, activate "MVPS HOSTS" list in config) - adblock will block this attempt and show warning page. This is what happens if too many "undeveloped" domains are concentrated within one system. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME FOR ADBLOCKERS TO START BLOCKING GD-owned properties, where GD wants to concentrate forsale domains.
So, since we're not living in paradise, more side effects should probably be expected. For example, I remember how a particular parking company (who else?) DDOSed other parking companies a few years ago. Now, thanks to GoDaddy, too many businesses are affected either directly or indirectly. Parking companies who are losing domains parked with forsale links. Other marketplaces and landing page providers. Even Google who is losing parking $$$...That is already happening to some extent.
This may be progress. Other competition may be helpful for stepping up the race for improvements.As a side note, a good sign is that GD competitors are trying to further improve. Sedo is posing on NP again for example.
HiNamecheap did a great job helping me do URL forwarding of all of my portfolio.
Still possible with a complicated setup. See what above.com parking manager does for example. They receive all traffic of somedomain.com and actually forward it with rotation to ww1.somedomain.com which is cname to bodis, ww2.somedomain.com which is cname to sedo, etc. Proper DNS config is required. The key is that the 2nd level domain must remain the same (somedomain.com), but subdomains may be different.for ppc, url redirect is no longer permitted
Hugedomains affected by adblockers: just try any random domain from their homepage ("Featured domains" section). I'm using ublock origin with default lists, including MVPS HOSTS lists which seems to be responsible for blocking HD in my config (meaning that it is the 1st list from various lists in use which blocked HD) and a few language-specific lists. Resultingly, ublock origin does not let me visit these domains...@tonyk2000 and @twiki can you guys please share some domains that use that DNS? Trying to test a few things. Thanks in advance.

I'm having this question still:
scenario
-I'm listing my domain on DAN (with DAN nameservers)
-I opt in to list it at afternic
-The domain sells through the afternic network (so not on DAN)
Do I now pay 15% or 25% commission?
Can you DM me the name (or email [email protected])?I have been negotiating with a GoDaddy broker for several months and we agreed on a price for the domain. The domain does not use any of the GoDaddy company nameservers. The broker says the buyer will be ready to move forward with the purchase in a few weeks from now. So if the transaction is completed after February 1, hopefully I will still only pay the old commission @James Iles?
