EFTY.com - Have you had any sales thru their landing pages?

[BuyWebDomains]

Hi,
Recently signed-up to the free 30 day trial with EFTY.com, which expires in the next days.
This has got me wondering whether to continue with them.

A few questions which spring to mind before committing for those with an account :
1. Have you had any sales thru their landing pages?
2. Have you seen an increase in traffic to those pages?
3. Assuming you've had sales, have these been in the form of offers or Buy-it-Now?
4. What do you think to the new landing pages (released by Efty yesterday)?
5. Best method of directing traffic to those pages? I currently use Twitter.

Personally I've not had any sales, but that would be down to the domains.
Keen to get some discussion going, especially if it assists others.

Thanks,
Steve

I do have the same issue for smaller domains. Escrow fee takes a lot % when the funds end up in my bank account.

I'm looking for an alternate option for smaller domains but couldn't find any so far (tried Payoneer).

For the low $xxx payments I just use paypal - I've never had a charge back (well, so far at least).
I think if you sell lower quality names (e.g. reg fee domains) you are unlikely to be contacted by a scammer. They wouldn't waste their time trying to seal junk.
And if that ever happens - at worst I will be out of $10. No big deal.

And they don't have paypal payment - they store our credit card info... well, somewhere. I'm not even sure how safe it is.

Efty doesn't store your credit card details. These are stored with our payment provider, Stripe which is one of the largest payment companies in the world. https://stripe.com/

I used to use paypal but not anymore. I'm talking about the 100-$300 sales.

I think you should add paypal option either way.

So do you plan on adding simple contact form with custom description?

We will be looking into Paypal integration next year so that users have an option next to Escrow.com to offer to buyers (for lower priced domains for example).

We currently do not have plans to add a lander with just a contact form and custom description but if there's a strong demand we will certainly consider adding one.

OK, thanks. My subscription is running out in 2 weeks so just wanted to know if I need to start looking for different solution.

efty landers are the best....but their marketplace needs more freedom

1:No about us page
2:No blog
3:No privacy or terms page
4:No contact us page
4:No custom headers

Without these i doubt a customer will have cofidence to buy a domain when they vist the marketplace....

i have requested doron lets hope for the best

Now that we just pushed a big update live for the landers all our development efforts are focussed towards further improving the marketplace feature. Expect some cool updates soon

But I don't think it would make any different if I use uniregistry landpage or sedo as the inquiries are from type in traffic and not through marketplaces themselves.

One very substantial difference between Uniregistry (not DNS) landers and Efty is that Uniregistry now forces leads to create a Uniregistry account in order to make the inquiry. Personally I think that's a barrier to getting the lead into the system, and one of the major put-offs of Uniregistry Market for me. I understand they are trying to build a network, but the pros of using Uniregistry are diminishing as they take more value out of our user interactions for themselves.

Another important difference is you know who you are dealing with when an inquiry comes in.

In fairness, that info is all available in Uniregistry so long as the lead isn't via their partner network (which get's passed to brokers automatically). All lead data coming in over their landers is populated in your marketplace console.

Loving the Efty feature. Got specific request, can we allow user to edit categories. For example i dont see any way to edit all domains i have in one category. Lets say Finance, how can i select all domains in that category and change template and other details. Not finding that feature, but it seems to be pretty critical step after initial step. Since each category should have different feel (i come from ecommerce, so for me this type of testing is natural). Is there any way to do it?

One sale so far..

Agree with this.

Also, on lander pages, i would love to be able to choose color for the domain name. Right now everything is white, so nothing really stands out. Choosing color (without actually needing to upload logo) would be amazing. For example for Fresh.blah , i would want green color. For Business.blah i would want blue. This is probably one of the key elements for lenders, and right now domain doesn't get enough focus.

Looking great @Doron Vermaat

this is mine www.realitybrands.com

most of the domains in my market are tech related so sub categories in the tech world +custom categories are very important and it would be great to see it soon .

@Doron Vermaat
Love it if we can set a secret reserve, rather than visible, as an option

Thank you Doron for all your help in setting up! Personally, I just wanted the easy, nice looking landers, but found myself getting really organized in the process, and very pleasantly surprised at the all of the great features. I found I had dozens of domains with incorrect whois - oops!!! I put BIN on almost all domains, and love the easy user experience - one click. Just integrated analytics - never did it, but thought I would have to do individual tracking ID's - nope - I watched a youtube tutorial for a few minutes, and then got it all set up in 5 minutes - wow. I monitor whois lookups at Godaddy but not traffic as it was too timely to set up. But now, super easy!!! Now with traffic, and whois lookups (from Godaddy) I can make more informed decisions on pricing and drops. Love it!!!

But, the only drawback is that I am going to lose up to $25 in parking revenue for this year - HA HA HA HA!!!!

I use Efty.com exclusively now with great success....I own just under 1k names.
There is 1 feature I wish they WOULD implement already, and that is the ability to ADD Stripe, Paypal, or custom BUY IT NOW code for each domain.
I recently sold BirthdayB*E*E*R in king and a few other names just in the last couple weeks.
@Doron Vermaat would like to hear your feedback on this.
