Sedo, one of the largest domain companies on the Internet, provides a large variety of domain services, with two of their most popular being their domain listing and sales services and their domain parking services. In addition, they offer registrations, brokerage services, domain valuations, portfolio management, and much more.
Sedo is an acronym for Search Engine for Domain Offers and is headquartered in Cambridge Massachusetts. In addition to the main Sedo.com website, they also have regional versions of their site in the UK, France, Germany and Spain.
Sedo is by far the largest domain listing service on the Internet, with more than 800,000 users, marketing more than 14 million domain names on their site. While many names are listed for sale at a straight fee, there are also names listed for sale by negotiation and those for sale through Sedos premium auctions.
If you’re interested in selling a domain name, its free to setup an account and list your name, but Sedo takes a percentage on all completed sales. If you’re interested in buying a domain, browse through their enormous database or check out their advanced search features, which help you quickly match your needs to their current sales list.
Sedo provides excellent customer service with quick response times and resolutions. While the database sometimes displays names no longer for sale, Sedo monitors the list and updates when needed or notified.
For those that fit the requirements, they also provide a service known as Sedo Pro which caters to the more active and higher valued domain portfolio owners.

If you use SEDO, you need to know their process BEFORE you begin. The company appears very good but their customer service and response to customer questions is VERY POOR. Messages sent requesting clarification are not read and replies consist of restating the vague instructions provided initially. My domains are held by a registrar that is a reseller of domains for ENOM. SEDO could not understand that I did not have an ENOM account and was therefore unable to transfer a sold domain from my ENOM to their ENOM. The options provided by the reseller holding my domain did not provide the process SEDO required. SEDO made no attempt to understand.
SEDO offices and operations are closed from 5:00pm EST on Friday until early hours Monday. Nothing moves on the weekend at SEDO.
I was required to submit a support ticked with my registrar and they were willing to execute the transfer through their ENOM account. Since they resell ENOM they had that option. Thankfully SuperbRegistrar customer service is the very best and cares first for their customers.
I find very interesting the discrepancy between iGoldrush rating of SEDO and the ratings by users that have submitted their vote on iGoldrush. That should tell users something.

I had 39 domains listed for sale on Sedo and just deleted them all. I received no reply to my ticket about the problem of changing the categories and having the categories change back as though I had done nothing. All the time and work wasted and lost due to the dysfunction. Several hours after liev chat failed to resolve it and my ticket not being replied to at all, I am through with Sedo and looking for another place to list, sell, and park.
