What Is Sedo?

Sedo provides a marketplace for buying and selling registered domains through Buy Now listings, negotiated offers, and auctions, with brokerage available for domains that need assisted acquisition or sale. Sellers can also use Sedo Domain Parking to display contextual ads, collect visitor statistics, and place sales messaging on unused domains.

Best for: Domain owners and buyers that need a marketplace plus brokerage, transfer assistance, and monetized parking.

Sedo supports fixed-price transactions, negotiated offers and auctions; an offer can also become a reserve for a subsequent marketplace auction. Its transfer service handles payment protection and ownership handover, including agreements reached outside the marketplace. Domain parking and brokerage are optional services for different selling situations, not prerequisites to listing every name.
