how many "i"s can you find in:
the domain name xnd.com just transferred to a new owner yesterday, someone in china.
a three letter .com finding its way to china is certain not news, but what is really interesting about this domain is that is sold back in january 2010 for $10,500.
the domain name according to domaintools.com has been sitting in escrow every since.
so did this domain really sit in escrow for what i would guess would be a record 6 1/2 years?
we will reach out to sedo after the labor day holiday.
having the sedo escrow whois details doesn’t mean that it is in escrow.
someone just forgot to change whois after they bought it.
now it was resold and the new owner changed whois.
i guess it was sedo who bought it back in 2010.
as escrow agent they should make sure the domain name transfers to the buyers name before closing out escrow and distributing funds as escrow.com does.
if your theory is correct then sedo is facilitating the owner provide false or certainly inaccurate whois info against icann rules.
there is a long way from should to what actually happens.
if sedo made a push to an account the buyer gave them then their job is done.
they can’t force the buyer to make any changes to whois.
right because as you know under icann rules, all registrants of domains get a notice, each year from the registrar, in which the registrants have to acknowledge the current whois information is correct and accurate and requires an update if it is not.
mike, the requirement isn’t enforceable, e.g. you are not clicking on a link in these notices, sent to the email address in the whois.
unless the contact info changes, which brings up the 15 day window to confirm the new email.
in this case, it seems the owner renewed the domain from within the godaddy account, unaware of the inconsistency in the whois. this could have been the result of a glitch, not too uncommon.
if you find that your domain contact data is current and accurate, there’s no need to take action. if, however, your domain contact information is inaccurate, you must correct it. (under icann and cctld whois rules and the terms of your registration agreement, providing false contact information can be grounds for domain name cancellation.
i actually got a renewal from from godaddy that they tried to renew but the credit card i used expired.i sold the domain 2 years ago. this is weird because i take everything off auto renew ,but i guess if its not in my account than the auto renew feature means nothing. so what i recommend is that every once in a while ,get your credit card numbers change as if you lost your card ,or your gonna be paying for someone else s renewals .
the annual whois notices depend on rar are both prompted and unprompted action. i have rars who insisit i follow a link and agree it is accurate and some who do not. i also notice it seems the names they chose to “check” on are few in comparison tot he portfolio size.
maintaining the seller’s contact info for months after a sale is often an oversight. however, there are cases where i’ve advised buyer clients to do exactly that. drawing attention to 1 change of ownership can interfere with other ongoing negotiations.
