I am trying to move my shop from Etsy to Bonanza because of Etsy’s new fee increase, beginning July 16th. Bonanza support told me to contact PayPal directly but never provided a link, nor can I even find one on PayPal’s page —-just a community board, like this. (If PayPal charges more than 5% then why leave Etsy?)

Hi Rhubarb, I did not notice the last part of your post in the paranthesis about Paypal if over 5% why leave Etsy.
Both places are good options. It’s always a shock when a marketplace raises their prices, especially when one has been there for so long.
I am amazed that Etsy only did the increase that they did after all these years. It really sounds like they are trying their hardest to keep fees reasonable for their sellers.
It’s a matter of preference I guess.
I like having Paypal where when I sell something I can keep the money on Paypal and I have a Paypal card that I can use. I like being on Bonanza because of the background burner; the community; having HTML for my descriptions so that I have control over font, bold, size, clickable links, etc; batch edit so that I can edit my listings in bulk if need be…plus more.
What I am also happy about with Bonanza is that I do not feel too restricted. There’s a sense of freedom that comes with selling on Bonanza in my opinion.
Wherever you decide, best of luck to you!!
Sharon

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
