Sedo needs to be shut down !
SEDO Is a disgrace to the industry, and it costing people loads of time and money !
My story
I won two domains at the GreatDomains auction at the end of JANUARY ! Over 1 MONTH ago !
One auction was in EUR, One auction USD. SEDO figure that I therefore want to pay in GBP. Completely ridiculous. It has absolutely no effect on them what currency I pay in as long as it is at the correct exchange rate.
After 2 weeks, I finally get a response: after 2 weeks, and contacting FIVE agents, they say I can pay in dollars. I promptly do by masspay.
I won TPL.net, and WOE.net. SEDO have wasted the sellers time by being ridiculously slow, incompetent, and unresponsive.
Anyway the seller of TPL.net pushes it, great. The seller of WOE.net does not.
It takes SEDO a further 2 weeks with 3 replies to numerous emails within that time to tell me 'Mr Anwar Mackie' is another scummy non transferring seller.
It shouldnt take 2 weeks to work this out, and tell me!
During this time I made the mistake of bidding on another SEDO auction which I won. I stated as is well within my rights: "It has been 3 weeks and you have not completed these 2 transactions, thus I will not send payment for the third until the previous 2 are completed"
No response, absolutely nothing. I email a stern email demanding a refund. A week later they send me my refund in GBP WTF! by normal paypal WTF!
Thus I have lost £30 worth of fees, have a load of GBP i cannot use (as I deal in dollars), have wasted 5 weeks and got nothing, and still technically have another transaction to complete.
I've said it before, and I say it again. SEDO take a ridiculous commission to sell your domains, yet although they employ ridiculous amounts of staff (who get paid to reply to emails), they still cant manage to reply to an email for 2 weeks at a time.
Maybe it is just me, but I think if you sit at a computer 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and are getting paid, then you should be able to reply to an email!!
They should pay us a 10% commission to use them!
I am now unsure exactly what to do. I want my refund of the full amount in USD, and I want compensation for my time. I could have done SO much with this money within the 5 week period had they not hijacked it.
Emails continued to go unanswered, so what do I do? Charge back the original payment, and retain the GBP as my compensation? It would not suprise me if I had to do this, as SEDO are too incompetent to sort it themselves.
Agh..!!! I don't say this lightly, but what a bunch of morons!
Lisa here does ... nothing, Steve does nothing, Benjamin ... dont get me started, apparently he cannot type, Erich.. replied a few times, then decided he could not be bothered and stopped...
