Sedo now allowing non-paying bidders to CONTINUE!

[robert]

ATTENTION SELLER: This Bidder has failed to make payment on bids made to other sellers. Click your chosen option below:

[ ] Accept bid; I'm willing to take my name off the market for 4 weeks and pray for a deadbeat to change his ways.

[ ] Reject bid: Tell bidder to join the con artists on eBay and leave me alone.

Classic!!

One that may be more acceptable to Sedo could be a note saying "this buyer has completed 3 out of 5 transactions" where the numbers reflect accordingly.

Or some form of feedback / verified transactions ala ebay and paypal.

the problem as I see it.
Many new people may be attracted to sedo's parking pages, and then go ahead and try to buy the domain.
Sedo is not ebay, and can not function like this. Afternic is better for this.
Sedo does have a point there.
HOWever, they should try to at least get a certain credit card deposit for ANY transaction, at least a small amount to verify the seriousness of the buyer.
Sedo, if you are listening, that can make a HUGE difference.

Exactly !, I second that, even something like $10.00 charge would stop jokers at least.

I will let you know once the buyer of my ongoing sale actually signs the paper contract (which he required in the first place) :-D

RADisTAR, how is your sale going on?
Is it fine?
