To be fair, I just opened my account with Bonanza and my inventory hasn’t even all migrated over yet. I did think I might get a sale or two though. I have over 1000 products here so far, over 3000 on Amazon. Yesterday I sold 8 books through Amazon. Just curious what to expect and if I should get a monthly plan to increase sales? I started at the 19% fee.

I typed bonanza into google today
The first thing on the list was Bonanza Hotel In Niagra Falls
Then several links to the Bonanza TV Show
Hen further down was Bonanza
The problem here is Bonanza needs better web site ratings
In my opinion you are doing good on Bonanza with 1 Sale a month
I list a few things here but much more at other sites
I stay hoping Bonanza will pop but I don’t hold my breath

no you do not have to have a membership..sales are mostly from google shopping and social media
it is helpful to have your items sent to google shopping (look under advertising in booth settings to ensure you have chosen 9% fvf to cover the google shopping fees if your item sells)
To be google compliant (make sure your items comply with google rules (reguarding puncuation, titles and images and descriptions) and has …brand, mpn, upc, or isbn) and
to make sure everything is okay with your feed (check under Selling dashboard, reports, ad trouble shooter…run a feed diagnostic)
But mostly it does take time (at least 48-72 hrs for bonz to format and make sure your feed is okay, and for google shopping to populate google shopping with your items)
and time to gain google standing/reputation as a store in good standing…that does take more than 2 days
Unlike ebay or amazon, buyers do not come here to browse, they are brought with google shopping ads and your efforts on social media…
item descriptions are always helpful
The first 150-160 characters are sent in your feed to describe your item in google…which should not include, any information on shipping, condition, etc but only contain information on/ or what the item is

It would appear, looking at your booth, the majority of what you sell is BOOKS.
While I have just a few books here, Actually the FIRST Place I look for books is usually Amazon. Unless you are offering giving away prices on your books here, I can see why Amazon produces your best sales results.
WOW but 19 pct is quite a bite here to sell. I would adjust that down to a lower percentage (just to get it into google like ccmom mentioned).
Lastly, this is also the slowest time of the year to sell. People are doing outside stuff since the weather is nice and not sitting in front of a screen shopping unless is is something they have an immediate need for.
