Hello there how are u.
I want to draw your attention on a issue I've been through,
About a two months back I have created an account with sedo and parked my 8 or I guess 9 domain,
There was some issues regarding parking domains the proper way it should be parked,
Almost about a month I realised that I am having clicks on my domains
There is much traffic on addresses from all around the world but still my earnings are 0.00,
I tried to contact the department and about 5 or 6 days they replied that we can do it from our end you go to this link etc etc and certified ur self, I was like ooh ok
Well I did the same and yeah it is now certified for earning,
Again a month passed and the earning was 0.00
I mailed them again n said I started feeling like it's fake thing n all that no 1 is helping me out to setup my account properly
So kindly help me out to set up properly or let me know the way of closing or removing my domains.
Then there was no reply from your end about a week later I tried to logged in my account and wot I found out that my account is simply removed from sedo without any intimation or any confirmation anything just noting at all,
Plus my account was removed but my domains were not released
Wot the hell .
I make an other account
Removed the DNS from my end and add my domains again on sedo from new account
Cleared my all verifications
And it's been 3 days my domains haven't showed in my account yet.
Kindly look into this matter
I will wait for ur mail
Plz let me know wot to do
Pictures are attached.
You can see in pics that domains are still pointed to sedo but not showing in my account

sale of domain
I highly recommend you avoid dealing with Sedo.com or the owner of this domain as they are extremely unprofessional, unethical and lack the integrity one would expect in conducting a legitimate business transaction.
The website was posted for sale for $500 and I made a fair offer and the owner of the website failed to respond. I was the first person to even make an offer on their domain and right after I made the offer the sales price magically jumped to $5, 000. I sent no less than three complaint emails to Sedo.com asking for an explanation and if it was them or the owner of the domain that jacked up the price ten-fold of the original asking price. Sedo never answered my question, they basically said the owner could do whatever they wanted. I then offered the full original asking price of $500 and the childish response I received from the owner was a counter offer of $4, 999 and then they increased the asking price to $10, 000.
I strongly urge you to not deal with such dishonest, greedy, immature individuals and companies. Just find a domain name not taken and only pay about $15 you will save yourself a lot of juvenile, bait-and-switch behavior.
I have screen shots of all of this information described.
Note: This is not the Bizoom binocular company.
domains / refund
Do not ever deal with this ripoff company. Anyone with a piece of mind should never ever get close to this company, they do not hold control over the domains they have and will not provide any penalty when failing to fulfill their obligations after full payment. They will hold your money illegally and will not respond to emails for days and do not have proper coordination. You will receive emails from one confirming your refund has been processed and then 6 days after inquiring they will again confirm refund should be received by the 6th day and on Day 7 they will admit this was never even done.
Going to their live chat there is this guy called "Sultan" who promised to be heard back from within the next day but upon 2 inquiries first being regarding a domain purchase and second being about the refund, I never heard from him.
Please never ever get near to these people and NEVER ever provide your credit card information on their website. If you really have to try out these rippers, use Paypal for your ultimate protection.
Mark my words, you will be screaming for them later
Hello Javad,
Thank you for review but allow us to state the facts.
You purchased three Domains and the deals got cancelled two times due to the fact that they didn't own the domain anymore.
We were in the process of refund and your went ahead and opened disputes which then interrupted our refund flow as we needed to wait for the outcome of the disputes because otherwise you would have received a double refund.
We followed up with the responsible cancellation parties like we did in the case were you didn't follow through the deal and refused to pay the agreed sales price.
Since then we have removed the option for your to use paypal or creditcard for security reasons.
Thank you for your Trust and that you are still a client of ours.
If there should be anything open you can always contact us through feedback@sedo.com or contact@sedo.com
Kind regards

I ordered an item that was posted on my account costing approximately $93 plus. Cost of the item was not posted when I researched. As the cost is prohibitive for me, DO NOT SHIP as I will return as REFUSED should I receive it
scam
I recieved the letter below today. I have been purchacing domain names for many years now and point them at places like sedo.com. Today they deleted my account including 1200 dollar sale of domain that was sold through using there service. Lost over 1500 total... Dont trust these Germans!
Hello Jason,
A detailed examination of your traffic showed that it was not coming from natural type in and search engine query generated sources but from promotional and known bad sources.
Because of this we have no choice but to close your account, block your domains from the marketplace and withhold your unpaid parking revenue.
As outlined in our parking terms and conditions our parking program can only accept natural traffic. Redirected traffic or traffic from any paid sources such as link exchanges or promotional services and software is not accepted.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Do not ever join sedo.com
they are the worst
I got the same story today. I have some domains parked at SEDO and I always monitor the domains uniques, I noticed that one of my domains got some uniques (10 to 15) everyday though clicks are few. Since I'm new I enjoy monitoring my domains progress in sedo but unfortunately they blocked it without notice... aaaa crap.
Sedo is scamming people, i only lost 30 bucks, when they siezed my account, claimed the same thing as all you above, I am not responsible for previous owners advertising methods btw, yet the ### still never sent my 30 bucks back. the domains in ? got traffic from both search engines and links on other sites, nothing spam, no email spam nothing bad. I have even gone as far as Emailed them and cussed them out, then they actually pressed charges for an obcenity law, forced me to pay out an additional 500 bucks, so now i am even more pissed off, im planning on going to thier Office and @##@$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$#@$@#$@#$@#! (cant tell you sorry)
My own horrible experience with Sedo: http://alistairmilne.com/2011/06/21/sedo-is-a-scam/ ... buyer beware!
music critic again...final comment: In reading previous comments, I see where one complaintant received 'only a few dollars'
for parking 'a couple' of domains with sedo.I have over 1, 000 names parked at sedfo, and have not received over $40.00 a month...fourty dollars...a month...for all 1, 000- plus names...in at least two years. FOURTY DOLLARS ! PER MONTH !
I've been too busy working...wasn't paying attention. I must be taking stupid pills to not have 'caught on until tonight.'
There must be many more names missing than I first thought.I'll be transferring away from sedo, as soon as an investigation is completed!
I have many domains parked at sedo.One week ago I wanted to enter a sedo auction, and went to my account.The first four names I intended to submit for auction conmsideration...were not in my account.The servers were all pointed to sedo...but my names were missing.I, of course, immediately contacted sedo...but received no response.Phoned them the next day...sales rep's answering machine...he was out of town...left a message.He now has my email...phone message...with my phone number...no response.Waited two days...contacted info@sedo.by email..attached sales reps email...no response.Next day contacted info@sedo (in Germany)...no response.Two days ago I contacted sedo's holding company.( in Germany)...as of this minute...still no reply from sedo. I simply want to know who has my domain names...logically in other peoples accounts, generating income...for them...not me (and they're my names).My income has dropped off dramatically over the years.but I never thought about my names being in someone elses account.
Consequently, I not only don't generate any income from my missing domain names...but they can't be purchased either...because they're not visible in my account.I have over 1, 000 names parked at sedo, so I could be missing hundreds of names.But they won't even contact me.I have to think this must be so common at sedo, that if they responded to everyone whose names are missing from their accounts.they'd be contacting customers 247.
About 5 years ago, I had someone elses domain name in my account.I only noticed it because of my increase in parking revenue.Realizing immediately that the name was not mine...I contacted sedo immediately, and they removed the name from my account...and I hope that they transferred the revenue to the owner.I cannot determine how many of my names are missing, until I cross reference each of my 1, 000 plus names...against the names visible at sedo.But one would think that an honest company would be helping me discover how severe is the diappearance of my names.I'm not sayiong that sedo is dishonest...but their lack of any concern is certainly suspicious.
My advice to anyone out there is to stay away from sedo parking.
I have tried on a number of ocassions to park my domains there to get a bit of revenue. A tiny bit of money trickled in here and there, but I felt something was wrong. To test them out, I got a friend in another part of the world to go to ONE of my domains and and click ONCE on the top link on that page. (Note here that I have never attempted click fraud.) I waited and waited and but no click was registered and no revenue came through.
GOTCHA !
When I changed the nameservers to get away, a number of key domains took days to be redirected. More free traffic for them. My registrar is part of the network of "friends" in the domain industry, so it kinda makes you wonder if they delayed redirecting the domain. All the other ones worked in a flash. One of these domains had monthly traffic of 200+, and that is genuine type in traffic. Yet I have never recieved a single cent of revenue for that domain! Also, despite attempting to change the keywords (and contacting sedo) they were apparently fixed to some useless keyword. Like I have read elswehere on the net, one month the clicks/payout is higher, then drops to nothing the next month. While some of my domains were pretty lame (keyword wise) there were some pretty good ones. The traffic and expected clicks just didn't match what I had experienced earlier.
I have experienced and heard enough about sedo to NEVER point my domains there again. I would rather miss out on those measly few cents than to give them soooooo much free traffic and revenue.
Go to sedo at your own peril. YOU"LL BE SORRY !
Agh. If there were only one company that was honest they would have me as a lifelong customer.
Yes, I just received a similar letter today after parking a couple of domains with Sedo.com for about two months. The revenue on these domains was extremely small -- only a few dollars. But they sent me this letter:
—
Dear Sedo Customer,
This email is in regards to your domain names parked with Sedo’s parking program. We recently received a notification from our advertising provider that a significant portion of the traffic associated with your domain names has been deemed as “spam traffic” and is therefore ineligible for Sedo’s parking program.
Therefore, your domain names have been blocked from our parking program, your parking revenue has been withheld, and your Sedo account has been closed pending further review.
If you have any questions regarding this decision please let us know. We will be happy to assist you.
Best regards,
Your Sedo Team

This seems like rather draconian practice to me. If the traffic that they site is not "natural" or "spam" then why not just filter it, and simply not allow it to add revenue? Blocking domains and disabling an account is extreme and appears as a loose canon is in charge of policy decisions.
Best,

Is Sedo.com Legit?
Sedo.com earns a trustworthiness rating of 96%
Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.
We found clear and detailed contact information for Sedo.com. The company provides a physical address, 4 phone numbers, and 2 emails, as well as 3 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.
The age of Sedo.com's domain suggests that they have had sufficient time to establish a reputation as a reliable source of information and services. This can provide reassurance to potential customers seeking quality products or services.
Sedo.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.
Sedo.com has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.
Several positive reviews for Sedo.com have been found on various review sites. While this may be a good sign, it is important to approach these reviews with caution and consider the possibility of fake or biased reviews.
We looked up Sedo.com and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information
This website offers payment methods that provide the option for customers to get their money back, which could be a positive indicator of the company's commitment to customer satisfaction.
However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:
- Sedo.com protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.
- If you purchased a website from Sedo.com that is currently for sale, and you did not receive what you paid for, you may be a victim of a scam. To try and get your money back, you can try contacting the seller, filing a dispute with the payment platform, or reporting the seller to the relevant authorities.
con artists
Through the sedo.com parking program i earned 616.10 usd, and they have sent me an invoice stating this. But then a few days later i get an email stating they are not paying me for last month (616.10) and removing all earnings from this month approx 150 usd. Because of bad traffic. But all bad traffic sources they list are google image searches. Not once has it been explained why google image searches are not valid. They say they want domains that get traffic through search engines, but when you get them and earn money they keep it. They are fine paying out payments of $20 but as soon as you earn real money the keep it. I asked why they can keep my earnings and they are not giving it back to the advertisers that payed them, they wont answer. They are VERY unprofessional and untrust worthy. Use at your own risk, THEY ARE CON ARTISTS!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

What is fake traffic?
Fake traffic includes all visitors to a parked page that do not reach the page through natural traffic. Natural traffic is type-in traffic or organic search engine traffic. Fake traffic may include, but is not limited to, the following:
Traffic from a visitor/banner exchange service
Advertising the domain in forums, e-mails or websites
Encouraging friends or family to visit the page>
Linking the site to a link list
Using Google AdWords™ or other similar programs
Generating traffic from scripts, robots, etc
Self-generated clicks and traffic
Upon reasonable suspicion that a user's click balance is the result of fake traffic, Sedo reserves the right, without prior notice and at Sedo's sole discretion, to delete any or all of the accumulated click balance (parking revenue) for a user account, to remove any or all of the user's domain names from the Domain Parking service, and/or suspend or delete the user's account. For more information, refer to Section 5.3 in the Sedo User Agreement and the Rules for Domain Parkers.
We hope this helps

I agree... same thing happened to me several months ago with sedo, they shut me down, said traffic to my domains was not legitimate. Then I opened an account with revenue direct. They were great, I was making some money, until sedo bought them out and guess what, they did it to me again. I went a whole month, they owed me about 100.00, then shut me down... I have no clue as to what kind of traffic is valid or not with them. traffic to all my names is natural, go figure... P
