I have 4 booths on Bonz., as I sell hobby & Craft items and one booth for everything from A-Z. I have been selling here since 2014. I do very little social advertising, use to use a couple of other Bonanza people to advertise for me,but cut that out back in June 2020. So now most of my sales come from google shopping. Some days a get several sales and other days I get zero sales. I used to get an average of 15 sales a day at my 4 booths.

I have been here since Dec 2008 (when it was originally called Bonanzle). Originally things I listed on Ebay that did not sell, seemed to sell here but then sales just dropped off here for me. I dont do social advertising and sell mostly older USA made items that are no longer found in stores anymore. I advertise at the 9pct level to be able to get my items into Google Shopping but sales here could (and should) be better than they are as it is a great site with good potential but it is slow here. Good Luck selling and Happy Sales to You.

I’ve been here for about 3 years, I think (?) It’s a slow place for sales, but I like that I can list all my inventory here and don’t have to pay to list. I make sure to have at least the 9% advertising level so items show in Google shopping. I’ll occasionally post an item to social, but not often (should do more of that). It’s slow – I average less than one sale per day. I sell a lot more on other platforms.

I joined in 2008. I also like that I can have everything here, whereas some other sites, I am limited to certain categories – vintage, supplies, etc.

I also do the 9% advertising, and don’t use social media, so sales are slower than I’d like. My booth has been on vac. since last March, due to COVID-19, but I hope to get my shipping costs updated and re-open the booth soon.

Hello.

For the most part I’ve been selling here since 2009. However, I started with a different booth and user ID.

I arrived here where I had strictly been selling on eBay. Then I have also sold on Etsy from time to time.

My most challenging experience had been recognizing that eBay was eBay and Bonanza was Bonanza and that I needed to treat each as being their own unique site.

My wisest experience was getting a cell that got on the internet so that while out on the hunt searching for items to resell, I could research whether or not the item was worth getting.

I enjoy selling on Bonanza. My booth was on reserve for the most part since July 2019. I re-opened for business on Wednesday like I used to be prior to July 2019. I’ve had a few sales since then, so I am happy about that.

Thanks for asking and I wish your booth success. Looking for any comments u may make below and I’ll check back.

Been here since 2009…left ebay..never looked back.
First booth (this one) was hopping and did very well until google shoping went from free to pay to list..things slowed considerably.

Second booth which I use mainly now..did well also at the beginning, but slowed..cycles and does rather well during holiday seasons…

Third…did well for about a year, but did not really catch on and is now on vacation until I can decided what to do with it..change directions or just keep as a buying acount.

All booths are on vacation at this time as I am on vacation, but now I am really just a casual/part time seller and am not interested in gearing for full time anymore

I’ve had a booth here for a few years and really like it. Everything is logical and usually easy to see and do. Not a lot of complications like on other sites. Also the selling rates are very reasonable. Just the fact that you can list hundreds of items and the listings STAY in effect is great. So you don’t have to keep relisting, etc. I like it and you will too.

I can not remember when I opened my booth exactly but I do remember my first sell here was in 2010. Sales have dropped dramatically since then but traffic is still showing strong from direct advertising. I enjoy a lot of the selling features this venue has to offer & the free to list is still my reason for continuing to stay.
