[erdinc]

This offer arrived minutes ago and refressing sedo page continuously because I can't believe what I'm seeing and hoping that there is a glitch. Here is the screenshot:

Are they crazy? If I'm going to accept the offer of 60 EUR they are expecting me to get 10 EUR and give 50 EUR for their service.

You don´t have to accept the bid...
But apart from that, that´s Sedo´s fees...which you accepted when entering your domains.

Last week I paid 6 EUR commision for a name selling at 60 EUR. It appears it has to parked at sedo to get that price.

I agree....you should of read the terms before setting your price, this happened once to me when I sold my first domain at Afternic, although I was not as fortunate to been shown the escrow fee before approving it.

Make a counter offer, and hopefully it will sell....but dont go ballistic.

It's the same as people spending $20 on Ebay fees for fancy listings that end up selling products for $21, lesson learned.

Try selling a .co.uk -- 100 euros flat fee, whether its parked there or not..

This has been a good lessson for me. I better take off my .nu names as I don't want to pay 150 usd fee.

Yeah... I just got slapped with a 70 Pound fee for a domain selling for 200 pounds. Takes almost half my sale price.. :-(

Its actually a way to make you park your domain name with them. I believe the fee is waved if you accept an offer and you are parked with SEDO. If the domain gets no traffic, and you make quite a few sales through SEDO, then its worth it. If you get traffic, and you are happy with where your at, I wouldnt recommend moving.

.co.uk's parked or otherwise still incur a 100 euros fee, as my 115 euros offer for a parked co.uk is testament to -- needless to say it was rejected.

Me:
I have recieved an offer of 115 Euros for the name xxxxxx.co.uk, but I see from the negotiations section that SEDO will be taking 100 Euros from the offering price leaving me with 15 Euros!

I was under the impression that if my names are parked with you the SEDO
fees would be 10%.
How did you arrive at the fee of 100 Euros?
