Does it really pay to list and sell on bonanza

I’ve been a bonanza seller for years and have had very few sales compared to Etsy, Amazon and my own website. As everyone knows, it requires a lot of time to list & maintain your booth so no sales unless you are a subscriber? Does it really pay to subscribe since the monthly fees and final value fees are so expensive that it seems to eat all my profits? How can a seller make a profit on Bonanza, is there a secret?

I only get one sale a year and if I am very lucky, I may get 2-3 sales a year on here. I have been here since 2014 and it’s been the same for me.. one sale a year. I list on several other avenues online and they get more sales.. still not sure why Bonanza is not getting more buyers as it has been around for over 10 years. With everything costing so much and taxes on everything, it is really hard for me as a small time seller to afford paying for a subscription at this time. It is really going to take more than 1-2 sales a year for me to feel motivated enough to pay for subscription fees. I pray that sales pick up for all sellers everywhere regardless of where they sell at. I have had to pick up side gigs to go with my online selling. It helps pay the bills, but it is better than nothing. Take care and may God bless you!!

I’m not subscribed to Etsy either but I get lots of sales from them selling the same items, What a difference!

I hear you..I don’t want to subscribe to a site that doesn’t give me more than 1 sale a year, there’s no incentive!

I receive several orders daily on Bonanza. I have been listing on here for a few years now. When you list on Bonanza your items do come up in Google search results. Many times I have seen my items on Google. I will google a product I have listed just to see if it comes up and most of the time it does come up in the Google results. Over-all it is a good site. Sure it needs some minor adjustments here and there but for the most part I think it is the best site for listing.
