In the last few months I have sold about a dozen domains through Sedo. Payments are wired to me. In most cases Sedo pays their own banking costs, I pay mine, as is usual in international transfers.
In 3 cases however, an exta charge is taken of up to $22. For me, it is pretty clear this charge is taken by Sedo (or their bank), because:
1) I called my bank, they checked and confirmed the money was taken by the sender (ie Sedo).
2) In the same period I have received a few dozen international wires from other companies, but the extra charge only occurs with Sedo payment.
3) The official wire documentation clearly says "Costs by originating bank".
I have been in touch with Sedo about these charges and faxed them the wire docs. Their answer can be summarised as "We have paid our own bank charges." No explanation was given why the wire docs point out differently.
Has anybody else seen similar unexpected charges?
