Sedo lets some clients send sales leads to different channels than Sedo’s marketplace.
An alert reader came across a parked page using Sedo that caught his attention.
Rather than Sedo’s standard message “The domain example.com may be for sale by its owner!” with a link to the listing on Sedo, the message looked like this:
Essentially, the owner of the domain is using Sedo parking but collecting sales leads itself.
I reached out to Sedo, which confirmed that this is an option on a case-by-case basis. The company doesn’t recommend it because it results in a lot of unqualified sales leads. (And of course, it bypasses Sedo’s sales system, too.)
Another thing I noticed about Sedo’s parked pages lately is that the “for sale” signs are getting more prominent. Customers have been asking for bigger sales messages for a while.
Here’s an example with the “for sale” message at the top.

I have only seen domains by Mike Berkens using a customized Sedo lander (can’t recall which, unfortunately.) Therefore, domainer mortals need not apply.

I stopped using Sedo parking and it’s low pay-out 3 months ago and my revenue share has tripled. On all of my parked pages I have a
sales link where they can negotiate with me
privately without paying a 20% commission.
IMO, Sedo is becoming irrelevant……….

i hate their payout, it’s so low, a friend of mine parked his page on Sedo, a whole year. made only $50 and the domain was not yet sold.
