We'll definitely look into these. Keep in mind the "For Sale" link is competing with PPC Ads for real estate on the parking pages. We optimize our page layout for monetization, but definitely on low RPM / high resale value domains, we should make the For Sale link more prominent. You're right on BuyNow being the only way of showing prices on Sedo.com. We urge domainers to use BuyNow price on the tail of their inventory. We are also "rethinking" our categorization scheme from the ground up. Email me if you want to discuss, Best, Great feedback, Jamie. We’ll definitely look into these.

I switched all my domains to Fabulous parking because their for-sale message is much more prominent. Plus, you don't have to pay a commission when you get an offer. After I made the switch I started receiving a lot more offers. I agree with all the suggestions mentioned above, especially about the for sale link.

Very good suggestions. ---- "Do you have some also?" Yes. You are right that the Categories are lacking and have not kept up with the times. - 1)New Up-To-Date Categories For example: If you have any "Green" domains, under what category do you list them? There should be a "Green" category since it's a big category that's here to stay.. --- 2)Category Suggestion Tool It's often difficult to try and figure out which category should be used for some domains. Sedo should create a Category Suggestion Tool. There is no category for "Weddings" for example. It would be really great if we can input a keyword into the Category Suggestion Tool and get one or more category suggestions. ---- 3)Capitalization It would be great if Sedo allowed domains to be listed with the first letter of each keyword Capitalized, if desired. It makes it much easier to read a domain especially when you're going through a long list. DotWeekly.com instead of dotweekly.com. It would probably also make it easier for the software that automatically assigns categories. --- 4)Delete Domains It's very possible if you have a lot of domains that some may expire but still be listed in your account. If an offer comes in for a domain you no longer own, there should be a provision in the transaction area to deal with this scenario. Currently you cannot delete a domain if an offer has been made. --- 5)Account Manager Assign an account manager to any member with a large portfolio. "Large" to be determined by Sedo. “What do you think of my couple suggestions?”

Very good suggestions.

“Do you have some also?”

Yes.

You are right that the Categories are lacking and have not kept up with the times.

1)New Up-To-Date Categories

For example:
If you have any “Green” domains, under what category do you list them?

There should be a “Green” category since it’s a big category that’s here to stay..

2)Category Suggestion Tool

It’s often difficult to try and figure out which category should be used for some domains.

Sedo should create a Category Suggestion Tool.

There is no category for “Weddings” for example.

The thing I would really like to see as an option at Sedo, is something similar to www.pushToAuction.com By that, I mean, a price where the owner is committed to sending the name to auction. In the current set-up, I can list all my domains at $60, then turn around and ask for 100K. That makes no sense, at least to me. Buyers would have a known target instead of a BS guessing game.
