As you may already know there are 2 different auction types at sedo
1. The one that you send to auction when you receive the first bid from a buyer
2. The one with the approval of Sedo's team and after a deal regarding the quality and the reserve price they put on schedule for auction

The 2nd auction type is the one you see at sedo's homepage at the column "featured auctions" at the very top with the bold characters

Now i wanted to sell QWA.com so i contact Sedo's team, they approved the quality of the name, suggested a 4999 Euro reserve price (i suggested a bit higher) but i agreed with the 5K because i make some other investments and this would help

The auction was scheduled on 22nd (yesterday)
When the auction started i saw at the homepage the names :
america.com
won.com
cognac.com
but nowhere the QWA.com

You must search for it at the page of the "more" link located at the bottom of featured auctions table

What type of promotion is this from Sedo for an auction they want to call it premium ?

Question No1 : Why do they schedule a premium auction to collide with other premium auctions, they should put it one week later for example to give all the names the proper exposure

Question No2 : They put WON.com for a Reserve price range: 200,000 - 499,999 EUR
Usually the biggest price is the reserved price so in USD we have a price range of : 315,278.36 - 788,159.18 that i don't find very realistic for this name, however Sedo agreed with the price and put at featured spot an auction with VERY HIGH expectations. I'm not sure if this will break the reserve limit

Question No 3 : The auction of QWA.com and rest of the featured names i mentioned above end the same time so it will not get even the countdown promotion the simple auctions get

Niiiiiice work Sedo
