Following is the chat transcript of a convo I just had with a Sedo support tech. Tell me if I am wrong here.
If I am the only Sedo customer who fell for this I'll eat my hat
Jeff: Hi, my name is Jeff. How may I help you?
Me: Hi Jeff,
Jeff: Hello
Me: In the recent Sedo newsletter sent out yesterday, it said ,,,
Me: Every domain you list with Sedo is now promoted through the SedoMLS Promotion Network ... However, to fully optimize your domain name listings, you should activate SedoMLS Premium now
Me: yet in the dashboard, it is asking to set the registrar for each domain and still not all registrars are supported
Jeff: okay, just one moment
Jeff: okay
Jeff: Your registrar must be currently be participating in the MLS service in order to list it in the service
Jeff: For example, Dynadot is fully integrated with the MLS service
Me: well thats contrary to what Tim states in the newsletter. it says "every domain". frankly, and not to be an asshole, but you guys drive me insane (both Sedo and Afternic). When you make false pronouncements like this you waste your customers time and its bullshit
Me: it would be great if you could pass that along as feedback
Jeff: we are working to integrate more registrars with the MLS service
Jeff: and keep in mind, it will receive a larger promotion, but in order to receive the full benefit of the MLS service, it helps to be associated with one of our Premium Partner Registrars
Me: well thats great. when that happens then I expect you'll let us all know, not BEFORE
Me: obviously if not all registrars are supported, you should not state that "Every domain you list with Sedo is now promoted through the SedoMLS Promotion Network". again, i'm not trying to be rude to you personally. Just expressing my feedback
Me: i'm I wrong here?
Jeff: Well they can be promoted additionally with the MLS service, but some of the registrars offer more benefits, such as faster transfers
Me: Well, this is the exact text here. Tell me what you think it implies:
Me: SedoMLS Premium
Activate SedoMLS Premium to Sell More Domains
Our exciting marketplace updates earlier this month mean a renewed focus on helping you promote your domains and make more sales! Every domain you list with Sedo is now promoted through the SedoMLS Promotion Network, meaning that your domains are visible across our partners' sites via millions of search queries. However, to fully optimize your domain name listings, you should activate SedoMLS Premium now.
Me: so i got excited and ran to Sedo to activate every one of my domains, only to find out that I cant because it still only supports certain registrars.
Me: I'll just leave it at that, and let you go.
Me: have a good one
