Since Sedo implemented their transfer center for domain transactions, things have improved tremendously.
No longer dependent on email and the security issues that they entail, the transfer center offers a direct and up to date line of communication between the buyer, the seller and the Sedo transfer agent.
After dozens of personal domain sales and purchases at Sedo, I experienced the transfer center as the Technical Assistant, handling the domain transaction for a client.
The process was smooth and easy.
Once my contact info was added to the transaction as the Technical Assistant by the buyer, I received an email asking me to confirm my email by clicking on a link with a long hashed URL which ensures security.
Soon after that, I was sent the same link and a password that allowed me to log in as the Technical Assistant for the transaction.
The Technical Assistant has a partial view of the transaction’s particulars.
Unlike the buyer’s account, there is no information related to the negotiation, money involved or other information that should not be disclosed to a third party managing a transaction on behalf of someone else.
My experience with Sedo as the Technical Assistant was stellar; when the client needed an expedited registrar push versus a transfer to another registrar, the support team of Sedo responded very timely and literally saved the day; my client wanted to get the acquired domain up and running before the end of the week.
It only took 1/2 day for the entire process, including DNS propagation.
Once again, Sedo proves that they are worthy of being voted as the Best Overall Domain Solution at TRAFFIC 2011 in Ft. Lauderdale.
