Choose the sales format first

Sedo provides several selling formats, including Buy Now, Make Offer, and auctions. It also offers brokerage, sales landers, and transfer services. Each route starts a different conversation about price and timing, so read the listing format before treating a displayed amount as a final purchase price.

For buyers

Identify whether you are accepting a fixed price, submitting an offer, or entering an auction. Record the exact name, the currency, the expected total, and the next required action. Ask how ownership will move and which account will hold the registration after the transaction.

Use a written naming brief and a total acquisition budget. Compare the candidate with plausible alternatives, then review the exact listing conditions. The buyer’s planning guide provides the preparation that applies across marketplaces.

For sellers

Choose a format that fits your willingness to negotiate and your need for timing certainty. A Marketplace Auction can begin after a Make Offer proposal, using that offer as the reserve. A Direct Auction is a separate seller-initiated option. Compare the current rules and costs of the route you intend to use.

Keep a current record of your prices, renewal dates, and commitments. Your selling plan should connect the listing with the work you must complete when a deal is agreed.

Questions to ask before committing

• Is the listing Buy Now, Make Offer, or an auction?
• What action commits the buyer or seller?
• Which fees and transfer services apply to this sale?
• Is the receiving registrar and account ready?
