    Exclamation Sedo Owner Verification

    When I register some expired domain, I often receive owner verification emails from sedo.

    Obviously they do not use a good WHOIS service. I wrote them several times and suggested to use a better WHOIS website or directly a WHOIS of the respective registrar, but they continue using their stupid WHOIS that is simply delayed.

    They always accepted my domains eventually, when I submitted the same domain with the same WHOIS info the second time, but why cannot all this be avoided? The company is specialized in domain names, so using WHOIS is the most elementary skill.

    I'm not a fan of sedo at all but it's not always possible to determine the ownership just from the whois info. Maybe because of this they don't put additional efforts in resolving this issue. Though they don't put much efforts in anything.

    i know, but in my cases the only reason is that they use the wrong whois
    (always the expired domains with old whois info, if you don't use the right whois)

    they do not get any additional info from me, andthey accept the domain anyway after 2 days when also their delayed whois gets updated

    i think it is useless to send people verification emails just because sedo's whois does not show correct data yet

    as i said, there are more reliable whois websites or directly the whois of the respective registrar, why cannot they use them? it costs nothing

    another owner verification emails

    they simple do not check the whois
    or their whois uses old (cached) data

    it's so easy to check the whois info
