Are Sedo's Top and Featured Domains Really Good or Biased Domains?

[elevatoria]

Yes! This question came as a result of my experienced with Sedo Marketplace, and I want members of this forum to say their experiences with sedo marketplace regarding their Top Domains and Feartured domains.

My own experienced is that I found some domain available for registrations among their so called top domains and featured domains listings even with one bidding each, but to my supprised; as soon as I registered those domains, they were no longer recognized as top nor feartured domains anymore.

The most wonderfull and supprissing thing is that those domains have no single traffic since I registered them todate for over a week now.

The worst is that I subbmitted those domains for top domain listing and they are rejected by sedo themself.

I think this deserves some explanation by sedo(.)com officers in charge as to what makes them to be rejected for their listing as they were both picked from their "top domain listing".

Though, I have no case as domaining is a highly risky business, but at least to know what makes up their top or whatever listing as a guideline for one to follow.

My bone of contentions is that supposing I bought those domains with huge some amount ; is that how it could be so useless for re-sales?

suppose the name that was featured, was a paid listing, and the person who paid for it....let the name expire?

if the length that the feature was 60 days and the name expired before end of feature time, then that "may" be a reason why it was showing as such.

however, if you had screenshot of name showing on featured list and date of your reg to compare, then surely an explanation would be due.

Well! It is unfortunate that I did not hold the screnshot of the one with top domains listing but I have the one for featured domains

I found USAProSports(.)Com with one bidding on their top domain listing and registered it on 14th March and waited to see what could happen and when it was dropped from top domain listing; I now submited the domain from my account for top domain listing and was once more not accepted.

On 19th I registered the fashionClocks(.)com found on their listing also with one bidding as well.

Cheers.

that '1' bid you see, may be 'historical' count since domain was part of sedo's inventory...and not a recent offer.


i think that's true for every domain currently there, that ever received a bid


but if you think you found a good doman, at reg fee on top of that...in spite sedo rejecting your submission, i say be happy

you can always do regular listing, which has worked fine for me.
