Fees

Why have the fees increased so much? Cost as much to sell on here as it does on Ebay anymore. I sold an item with a total cost of $255. with shipping and it cost me $22.50

This is an official Bonanza response.

Hi @backtothefuture,

Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the confusion. Bonanza’s standard fees are 3.5%. However, if you have opted into advertising you may see higher fees on your sales (up to your maximum selected commission) depending on the role that advertising played in your sale. Advertising your items is completely optional and you are welcome to select a lower commission or disable advertising entirely at any time. Point your mouse over the “My booth” link in the upper left corner of any page and select “Advertise items” from the drop down to review and adjust your advertising settings.

Hope that helps!

It has always been economy. Apparently Bonanza changed it to basic, because I didn’t

It’s the advertising cost factored into your fee that increased it so much.
