Company expands beta for listing syndication and fulfillment service.
SedoMLS, which syndicates your Sedo domain name listings across multiple sites and instantly transfers domain names upon purchase, is now available for select Sedo customers.
Sedo launched the service last year but it has been closed to most domainers. The new beta phase permits SedoPro customers to list domains at the MLS level. Other Sedo customers with 5,000 or more domain names may request access as well.
SedoMLS listings are syndicated to a number of partners, many of which enable domains to be sold and transferred instantly without seller involvement. Partners include Name.com, InternetX, and DirectNIC.
The system is a competitor to AfternicDLS. AfternicDLS has a number of large registrars already in its stable including Network Solutions, Register.com, and Name.com. eNom and Moniker will be added before the end of the year.
Despite not having the same major registrar distribution as AfternicDLS, Sedo may be able play to its strength in the international market. The company has a leg up on Afternic for selling ccTLDs and foreign language domain names.
Soon listing domains will be like real estate and we will only be able to have 1 listing agent, because what happens if we are listed at both afternicdls and sedomls and they have an overlap with the same registrar partners?
