This means the WHOIS will “disappear”. In the new public record system, personal data will no longer be visible either to individuals or Sedo. So far we were able to verify from the WHOIS records that you are the legitimate owner of the domains you listed for sale. This means it will be much harder for us to match your account data with the WHOIS information <span style="color:#0061aa"><strong>in order to clear your domains for sale</strong></span> on our site.<br><br>The Solution: Our <strong><span style="color:#0061aa">Owner Self-Verification</span></strong>. With the Owner Self-Verification, you can quickly prove your ownership of any domain you list for sale. Even on weekends and holidays!<br><br><br><strong><span style="font-size:12pt">3 steps to Owner Self-Verification</span></strong><br>
<ol>
<li>Sedo provides you with a personal ID in your account under "Domain Management" under the tab "Owner Self-Verification".</li>
<li>Copy it and enter it at your registrar. To do this, visit your registrar and make this update within the DNS settings.</li>
<li>Enter your verification ID into the TXT record field of your domains. If your registrar needs you to submit a Hostname, simply enter “@”. Also, if you need to enter a TTL value, please enter “3600”.</li>
</ol>
Your ownership will be verified once the DNS information is updated. <span style="color:#32383d">With your support, we can ensure that only domains that have owner-verified credentials are still listed on the marketplace.</span><br><br><br>
