All the years here..first time I started a help thread
Just a head’s up
“Beginning next week, search results on the Google Shopping tab will consist primarily of free product listings, the company said.”
Wonder how this will affect our feeds and fvf…of course “you’ll still have to advertise to get exposure in the advertising sections in Google’s main search pages.”
My sales here were growing strong here then google shopping started charging and sales tanked and never really went back to where they were…don’t know it this will change anything….maybe
Perhaps the fees can go to extra ads

Reducing the FVF% Bonanza sellers are charged AND still having our items submitted to GS by Bonanza would allow Bonanza to compete better against eBay.

To be honest and from my own experience with my booth and what I carry, I sold better via Google shopping once they started doing the pay per click. This actually makes me a little nervous.
I’ll read the Google blog though and c if it makes me feel better.

I just looked at the blog. Interesting but I’m not understanding what they are saying about PayPal….but I’m so glad to see that PayPal will be spreading their wings, especially since eBay is more or less dumping them. I love dealing with PayPal.
I’m curious to to hear from Bonanza on this because they make changes like this easier for me to understand.
I’m sure we can expect some type of change on Bonanza stemming from Google shopping being free.
I know Google has been in the news some during the Coronavirus as being the good guy. Its definitely given them some free advertisement also. I know it is not about that except that maybe a wee little bit that it does not hurt.

I just saw Bonanza Wanda’s post on this matter and I’m going to stay at the 9 percent FVF. For once in my life, this time I’m happy to say I do not want free. Lol

I don’t think any of my stuff has ever been shown in Google. I am signed up for the 9% and most of my items are with free shipping. I think everything is comparable in price with everyone else here so I am bumfuzzled as to why no sales. Maybe I am not believing hard enough! Be happy! ;)
