You described my situation. My business partner allowed our 2 year domain name to expire and it was bought by a domainer a week ago who has it linked to a small website. My partner is on an extended vacation in another country w/no Internet access. I'm not used to the business side of this and have asked GoDaddy broker service to try to buy the name back. Do you think I should also phone the new owner and politely introduce myself and ask if he will sell it to me or should I wait for GD to handle it. I very much want the domain name back. It's a niche website with low traffic but is a membership site that was helping to boost my income as I'm disabled and living on SS. I don't have much money to spend but my site name was at the top of the list in Google seach in it's category and produced steady extra income for me.

I would expect that SEDO would either wait for the seller to manually remove it or it may check the whois after it's updated. I think the manual way is most probable. I like Vic's example: If you did not pay the mortgage or rent and thus lost your home or apartment, why would you be angry at the new owner/leaser.

I just bought an expired domain which had been for sale at sedo - I didn't buy it thru sedo. I notice sedo still has it for sale - I guess they will eventually notice that the original owner doesn't have the site anymore? Lis This could be a useful post to point people to in the future!
