Worried About Sale at Sedo

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by GamesPond, Jul 4, 2008.

    I sold a domain name and website at sedo.com
    I have transferred the domain name and website to sedo to transfer to buyer. Then sedo sent me an email saying they have sent the website files to the buyer so they can confirm everything is there.
    I know the domain name has already changed in the WHOIS to the buyers name.
    I am yet to recieve the money for the sale.

    The bit Im worried about is whats stopping the buyer from saying the files are not there (which of course they are all there) and is not interested in the sale anymore?
    The buyer already has all files and the domain name?
    Where does that leave me????


    This is my first sale by the way if this sounds like a stupid question :)

    Probably worrying over nothing....

    Ive sold 2 domains through sedo before, they hold the money between the buyer and seller, sedo keep you updated with each part of the process, i received emails informing me each time something happend, eventually you get an email telling you the funds have left the account of sedo and are on way to you.

    Have you correctly completed all of your details at your sedo account with banking info or a paypal account for it to be paid into?

    I wouldnt be too worried. Sedo runs quite a reputable business from what I know.

    if its a godaddy transfer and ALL of the buyers details are not matched with their existing godaddy account sedo will not release the money.

    happend to someone i bought a domain from ( via sedo ) - I had access to the domain for 4 months and then the seller nudged me as i had not made all the changes on the Whois. as soon as i updated sedo said they had completed the transaction
