Sedo Rolls Out Updates to the Buyer Control Panel But…

Posted on June 13, 2013 by Konstantinos Zournas

Sedo rolled out some updates to the “Buyer Control Panel” but this feels more like a bug fix than an update. Sedo’s goal was to make buying a domain name easier, so they just made some updates to their Buyer Control Panel. Customers now have a more intuitive interface that makes it easier to organize auctions, purchases, and brokerage orders.The truth is that the previous “Buyer Control Panel” was “broken” since it was released a few years back. You couldn’t correctly sort by a column (Domain, Status, Last Bid, Your max bid, time left) and the search function was pretty much unpredictable. These were the only 2 things that I needed. Now it seems that these have been fixed.

Some of the changes include:

A reorganized dropdown allowing you to switch more easily between different views
More prominent placement for the search box at the top of the Control Panel
Simplified options below the Control Panel for submitting bids or adding domains to your watchlist

Now it’s time for Sedo to fix this and this.
