I have adjusted the post. I must say the fee's are a little bit confusing. With the changes, Sedo is really not tempting people to park with them if they are not using a fixed price!

Sedo USED to charge 10% with no minimum if a domain was parked with Sedo in the past but that was changed a little while ago. Now it is only for fixed price domains. Domains that go to auction cannot be fixed price. That being said, it was a common strategy for people that would get an offer on a domain at Sedo to move it to Sedo parking before accepting the offer or putting it on auction. Many people may not be aware of this and so they are still checking name servers to Sedo. I've run domains several times in the past there and the ratios were actually higher before they moved to the fixed price requirement.

I agree with you about Sedo's for sale links being hard to find - it would be nice if they provided some customization options for domainers primarily interested in selling their domains - e.g. larger for sale links or even a dedicated for sale page. With many names making pennies parking, but selling for $xxx - $xxxx on Sedo's marketplace, this could be a good way for Sedo to attract more domainers interested in selling to end users (who type-in domains to check availability but might miss the small for sale links). Another option I sometimes use is to use free web forwarding to automatically forward a domain to it's Sedo listing page (e.g. http://www.sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=domain.com), bypassing the parking page altogether.
