It was their first time using Sedo and apparently they made a mistake with their listing. They relayed this information to Sedo and the deal was canceled and I was refunded.
Sedo informed me that the seller stated this was an error. The transaction was canceled, and I was told “You might want to take a legal action against the seller, therefore we have made his contact data available in your Sedo contract.”
I have no doubt that the seller is being truthful. I anticipated that it was an error, but I bought it anyway just in case they simply wanted a quick and painless sale. Mistakes happen. I don’t know how the error happened, but I am confident the owner of the domain name had no intention of selling it for less than $500, so it was no big deal to me.
