Really? Because Namecheap recently lost one of my domains due to an API error on your side, resulting in SEDO picking it up. Namecheap has absolutely refused to help recover the domain even though it's 100% in your court.

Sedo is not a registrar. Do you mean that you tried to renew the domain via API and it failed, resulting the domain being deleted?

No. I renewed through the normal Namecheap checkout process and the renewal failed somewhere inside Namecheap. I guess there isn't any sort of process to catch a successful order where the renewal date doesn't change.
As a result of Namecheap not doing their due diligence as a registrar my domain got deleted and picked up by SEDO.
