sedo problems

[csite.net]

Hi

I had a .info domain on auction on sedo, it was sold for $$$$

Now i get this email from sedo

We regret to inform you that we shall have to cancel this transaction.

Reason for this cancellation:

Domain is under registry lock due to sunrise. Its currently being looked into by the legal counsel and may be equitably redistributed sometime in the future.


Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

But there is no kind of lock on this name at all, i can easily move it to anywhere i want, i bought this domain months ago myself and it was transfered to me fine, i dont understand where they would get the registry lock from!!!

They simply cancelled a sold domain 2 days After the auction!

How pathetic...



EDIT

I just contacted afilias, enom and a friend who works in demys, they all confirmed the domain is ok for be transfered and it doesn't appear to have any legal problems, where does that sedo statement come from??? does anyone know?


Should i take legal action?? Its a shame because there was 4 good bidders on the name. I would think the bidders would be legally responsible to honour their bids.



EDIT

Just called sedo, they said they passed it onto their legal department to look at, i dont see why really tbh, i already know they will just confirm what i just said, the domain is fine! but i guess i just have to wait for a few days for them to get back to me to tell me that! You would think they would have had their legal department look at it before they passed on wrong info to me and cancelled a finished auction!!! but no...

Chasing this wasted nearly 2 hours of my time this morning, arghhh

I wasted also some hours for this one and considering i m the buyer its not fair.

I pm'ed you the story(which u have read on my topic as well...only they were some updates)
Sedo just emailed me and said they are cancelling auction.
I replied back and i m waiting to see what happens.

yeah thanks, the problems is pretty much resolved

we're both waiting for the sedo response now

[Makis77]

as i wrote on the pm,
i hope sedo doesnt cancel the auction,
If they do then my bids will be no longer valid
on any future auction.
New auction new bids

Yeah, screw Sedo, go over them and do it via escrow. Their loss.

situation resolved, wow for once sedo was speedy!!!

[Makis77]

they realised they would loose this one,
sedo makes my nerves going red every now and then

γεια σου βρε Mάκη !

Sedo has its ups and downs. There are other options. Maximize your options!

Acro i would do that but i dont know if its political correct to ask seller to go on escrow.
Also if i was more carefull the last months i could have bought this domain for almost 1/4 of the money i gave now. The good thing is that i really really like it.
