SEDO down at the end of Great Domain auction? - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

**Credit** · 10-22-2009, 12:08 PM

Is it just me or is anyone else having problems loading SEDO pages right now? Started about 10 minutes before the end of the Great Domains auction..

pcproffenno · 10-22-2009, 12:09 PM

It was very slow indeed, but the pages loaded just fine here.

**chillking** · 10-22-2009, 12:10 PM

Yes on the last 5 mins how weed lol.

**DomainSearch** · 10-22-2009, 12:17 PM

Still slow but loading

**Credit** · 10-22-2009, 12:19 PM

Much better now, but the auction passed

**Biggs101** · 10-22-2009, 12:45 PM

Yes, there was some major technical issues in the last 10-15mins of the auction. Many of the bidders were not able to bid on a large batch of the domains... I have just been informed that their tech team is working on the website as we speak. It is likely the auction will be extended briefly.

I got a domain reserve met yesterday and it endid today when the auction went down. I think their was a good chance i could of got more bids because i normally bid in the last 3 mins . If that happend to me if i was trying to win a domain i would be gutted lol.

SedoCoUk member i notice you are looking at this thread whats your opinion ? thanks.

demaxxus · 10-22-2009, 01:12 PM

Sedo's still down for me. It just keeps timing out.

I don't even care about the .de auctions, I just want to add some more domains to my account

It had better be...

SedoCoUk, please give us an update. I had several domains in the GreatDomains auction and needless to day... I am fuming.

**Doc Com** · 10-22-2009, 01:22 PM

Once again, they have not learned that you can not post end times on hundreds of domains to end at precisely the same time.

Perhaps this will result in another court action.

demaxxus · 10-22-2009, 01:28 PM

Serves them right for their .de auction cash grab.

**Domain Jedi** · 10-22-2009, 01:35 PM

The Great Domains site is down however, they have posted this message:

"Due to the extremely high participation in the .De Pre-Auction Sedo?s website was temporarily down. We have decided to extend the auction until 8:00 PM CET. If necessary we will extend the auction later than this time to accommodate additional bids."

yes; i too couldnt bid at the end of the great domains auction, but it seems that they are not extending it..

Bitte beachten Sie, dass wegen der extrem hohen Beteiligung an der Sonderauktion für die neuen .de Domains unsere Webseite teilweise nicht erreichbar ist.

Daher wird die Auktion bis 20:00 verlängert. Sofern notwendig, verlängern wir die Auktion erneut.

Wir bitten die Unannehmlichkeiten zu entschuldigen und freuen uns auf Ihre finalen Gebote!

Due to the extremely high participation in the .De Pre-Auction Sedo?s website was temporarily down. We have decided to extend the auction until 8:00 PM CET. If necessary we will extend the auction later than this time to accommodate additional bids.

We want to apologize for any inconvenience caused and we appreciate your participation in the 1, 2, & 3-Character .de Pre-Auction.

**SedoCoUk** · 10-22-2009, 01:44 PM

Hello everyone,

We do apologize for the inconvenience. Please know that we are looking into this and I will make a general post as soon as I have more information to share with you.

Thanks,

Lisa

Lisa,

Really nothing to look into.

Sedo appears to have learned nothing from the premium .mobi auction a couple of years ago. Back then, there were only 100 names ending simultaneously at precisely the same time.

Today, how many was that number? Several hundred? Thousand?

All of this could have been avoided then and now if Sedo had listened to one simple solution - stagger the end times!

Problem solved.

**SedoCoUk** · 10-22-2009, 02:46 PM

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your continued patience. The .DE pre-auction will be extended as follows:

Auctions for domains with three or more characters will end 3PM EST
Auctions for domains with two characters will end at 4PM EST
Auctions for one character domains will end at 5PM EST

If you have any questions please contact www.support.sedo.com.

Thanks,

Lisa

**Domain Jedi** · 10-22-2009, 02:47 PM

Lisa, I am am looking for a Great Domains auction update.

My Sedo rep. hasn't been able to tell me anything.

What is the management of your company going to do about this mess??

BY THE WAY: THIS THREAD IS ABOUT THE GREAT DOMAINS AUCTION NOT THE .DE AUCTION!!!

**SIKHboy** · 10-22-2009, 03:01 PM

if the auction was extended to 8pm....where are the bids???

**Domain Jedi** · 10-22-2009, 03:19 PM

This is a testament to Sedo’s greed. Yeah, let’s focus on the .DE cash cow domains versus make things right with our Great Domains sellers not to mention the bidders that missed out the last 10-15 minutes.

I still haven't heard from my rep., Lisa here on the forum etc.
