And the #1 reason why GoDaddy TDNAM + Sedo MLS sucks for “Make an offer” is…

Sedo MLS partnered with GoDaddy TDNAM a while back; while one could opt out of using Sedo MLS, it’s now being force-fed.

Simply speaking, all “make an offer” domains are now listed on TDNAM, and GoDaddy enjoys the local traffic to its marketplace, all while Sedo is confident this will lead to an increase in the volume of sales.

The truth is, that the volume of sub-$500 sales will increase, while high end sales that might have resulted in a higher total revenue via a proper offer/counter-offer at Sedo, won’t happen.

The TDNAM interface does not allow the exchange of comments, and thus the communication between the two parties is completely muted.

GoDaddy also seems to not like your adult domain names, and they don’t get listed, in case you’re wondering.

There is one simple reason why this type of negotiation does not work well, and in the long run it can hurt Sedo:

One can bid on their own domains, placing an offer at TDNAM – for any amount – and then send it to auction at Sedo, reeling in potential victims in a shilled bidding war!

Not only that, but the buyer information that the Sedo seller sees, is not truly that of a buyer, but a fixed GoDaddy profile that displays the following information:

This is the profile of the buyer on all Sedo offers initiated on TDNAM!

It’s imperative that Sedo fixes this anomaly asap, and should also give the ability to all Sedo account holders to remove their domains from the SedoMLS platform.
