The Perks of Selling on Bonanza

The Perks of Selling on Bonanza

In our recent survey, sellers found Bonanza to be the best value in an online marketplace. We have always worked hard to keep our costs down and we have not raised our final value fees since 2016. Meanwhile, eBay users got short notice on another fee hike starting February 15th. Does anyone know how many times eBay has raised its rates since 2016? More than none, that's for sure!
 
At Bonanza, we focus on simplicity to make selling easy and fun. Bonanza can keep costs down while providing advertising for each of our seller's products. We are so confident that our ads will bring sales that we are willing to pay for them upfront, and doing so has earned us the allegiance of thousands of sellers.

Thanks Tom!

It would be nice if Bonanza prosessed payments, or allowed other payment providers other than paypal or strip. This limits what some sellers can do with Bonanza.

Thanks for the feedback ForestOrganics!

All nice things but I do import and I do sell things once in a while. I do the same things on your site that I do on eBay but they just have significantly more traffic. It’s a rare day that I don’t sell there. I wish I sold as much on Bonanza as I do on eBay or even just half as much and I’d be thrilled. When you first showed up I wasn’t crossposting yet and I did things just on Bonanzle — I sold quite a bit. What happened?

Hi Jodi,
Thanks for your feedback. You may be able to increase views by adding a UPC to the 19 items that are disapproved. You can see the list by logging in, pointing to Selling and in the dropdown menu click on Advertise Items. Then click on Ad Troubleshooter. Clicking on the image will open up the listing where you can add the UPC if you have it.

Bonanza is definitely the best platform for online sellers today. If possible, please work on your own payment system.

Hi movINgaze! Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the information. I’ve been selling on Bonanza since 2010. I think they do a great job and their ideas are spot on. I’m happy with my sales here. I hear lots of complaints about the other selling sites, no so much here.

BonanzaShelly says in response: 02/07/23 at 17:12:44

Thanks for being with us almost from the start, Steve! We’re happy that you’re happy :)

I agree EBAY is way out of hand with selling fees. Problem with Bonanza though is I don’t make enough sales on here. I wish i had more traffic and sales

BonanzaShelly says in response: 02/08/23 at 10:56:21

Hi toyzfromthedarkside! Thanks for selling with us on Bonanza! Our support team can take a look at your booth for tips on optimization if you’d like. Take care!

I just added a coupon—let’s see if that does anything. Good blog post Shelly — it’s good to be reminded of these things.
