Why does Sedo refuse to use Escrow.com on buyer brokerage deals?
What do you mean? Why would they use Escrow.com instead of their own service?
Unlisted domains on Sedo. They approached me to buy a domain (buyer brokerage) agreed on price and I insisted on Escrow.com. They refused.
That makes sense to me. They are working on behalf of the buyer and want it to go through their own escrow process. Why would you not want to use their escrow?
For the sum involved would want licensed third party. Other aftermarkets work with Escrow.com so its strange to me.
Sedo and Afternic have their own transfer systems. Those other marketplaces don’t. A lot of people prefer Sedo’s transfer service to the typical escrow since they actually take control of the domain during the transfer. I wouldn’t let this get in the way of a good deal.
Thank you so much for the mention in the podcast and to everyone, for your responses and kind gestures. The following update I did a few days ago has a little more information (For those that haven’t seen it yet): https://www.namepros.com/threads/please-help-eric-lyon-he-lost-everything-in-the-houston-flood.1038234/page-5#post-6335054
God bless you all.
Hello domainnamewire, very interesting insights for non-experts as I am. Thank you!
I was suggested to put glams.com up for auction this week with SEDO, really no idea what to expect. Will be interesting.
Independently, I have a few more glam”xyz”.com domains, including glambook.com. I was told glambook.com would not sell at auctions.
What do you all think? No auction for glambook.com?
Thank you, fully appreciated insights!
