Hi Name Pros,
I have been using Efty for nearly 2 weeks now and would like to share overral rating out of 5 + cons.
Features: 3 / 5
Fairly new, but support has been super quick. However, by ignoring highly requested features and/or lacking some major ones; must give a 3.5 / 5 based on that alone; otherwise a 5 (so far) for sure.
Stability: 1 / 5
OK; here's where the #1 problem is that should be fixed right away; their servers have been down several hours within a day nearly every day since subscribing. Either that OR WAY TOO SLOW. No matter how you slice it; it's true. What good is any of this if my traffic can't load the 'For Sale' landing pages? So far today alone there has been a total of 3 hours of down-time spread out. This requires immediate attention.
*I will update this when or if ever needed.
**Major potential, and I am a happy customer (for now) and will be a much happier customer if the server issues are fixed.

Features: 3 / 5
- Lacks basic key features to maintain trust with buyer + payment processor once a domain name has sold (E.g., there are no automated emails for sold domains, no 302 redirect of sold domain to homepage, no marking of a sold domain as "sold" to prevent a double-buy which could result in a refund request, etc.)
- Super basic and branded 404 pages (... they should not be branded at all)
- No XML sitemap (had to create a subdomain to host my root / marketplace's sitemap)
- No out-the-box solution for a CDN such as CloudFlare (although I got mine to work)
- Minimal automation; the marketplace owner must manually key-in quite a bit post-sale or upon domain import to properly calculate figures such as Investment / Revenue / Sold / Fees, etc.
- No Installment / Payment Plan feature (super important and highly requested; 100% of my premium domain acquisitions for the past 3 years have used this similar feature on other marketplaces)
- The "Buy Now" feature redirects to their own branded checkout screen that is most likely questionable to the customer + it's not customizable. *The customer should never leave the custom marketplace, nor should Efty assume what converts best?
