Numerous bugs prevent buying one of Sedo's services

[Drop And Cover]

I decided to buy sedo's appraisal service for a domain since apparently that is needed to sell above a certain amount. However, I discovered no less than 3 bugs in that one little form alone, and I am prevented from passing it unless I create a new sedo account with an anglicized last name (which I don't want to risk in case it doesn't fly with the bureaucracy or bank side of things).

Please note

Unfortunately your entry contained errors.
You have entered an invalid lastname.

Please correct your input.

1) My last name contains a nordic character, which is not invalid if you decide to do business with people from this corner of the world. And even if I wanted to edit it out so your coders don't have to bother with proper UTF-8 support, the 2) last name field can't actually be edited as advised.

3) The form asks for a comment about the domain, indicated to mean traffic stats and so on. But a javascript warns me that the character limit is 10. What is this, Twitter God Mode?

So that's 49.00 $US and a 10% premium domain broker fee you won't see because you outsourced to India, I guess.

Sure is hard to sell domains these days, 2 more bugs.

Can't set a minimum offer manually (entered amount which is lower than appraisal, is not saved in spite of checking the domain and hitting "save marked changes"), and if I click to add sedo's own appraisal I get this popup instead of follow-through.

Thanks for setting the price manually for me, but it managed to reset itself to 0 again. Don't worry about it. However I'm still waiting for an explanation of why I haven't been notified of an offer higher than what I'm willing to take (per my last screenshot). For all I know I could be getting offers right now that aren't coming through because of yet another sedo bug.

Found further issues: Domains accepted and added to my portfolio were suddenly reversed a week later and removed from my portfolio. With subsequent e-mail spam asking me to send the registrar screenshots I had already sent and had had approved.

On a side note it's a shame the domain search feature still has bugs, for example it returns IDN even when they are excluded in search criteria.
