What's going on at Sedo today?

Browsing through recently listed domains I find the following names listed for sale:

w.com
i.com
eo.com
ea.com
ao.com
oe.com
oa.com

I first thought they were IDNs, but I always check to exclude IDNs when I look for domains. All domains are listed by the same Sedo user.

I doubt Electronic Arts or any of the other multi-billion companies hosted at those websites wants to sell their domains. Not to forget w.com and i.com which doesn't even exist in the registry.

So, what's going on here? How can these domains have passed the owner verification check?

I guess basically you can add almost any domain to the sedo system, unless it is already listed.

I could report domains daily. I have reports allot. In some ways their verification is a joke. I mean how do big/notorious domains slip by when they are this obvious?

Well, they do have a verification system but obviously it's a joke. Some of these domains have already received several offers each.
