Hi all, I am not sure what is going on with sales this month, but I’ve had my store here on bonanza for over a year now. I’ve experienced months where things were slow, and it really picked up from January-May 2018 for me here on Bonanza. I also sell on ebay, which at the moment I am doing well over there. This past month, I think I’ve literally only have had 5 total sales on here which is unusual.
My Google feeds are fine, I have purchased 2 additional turbo packs that come with my Pro subscription. I am not sure what is going on and can’t quite figure out why sales on here have declined so much. Thanks

I sold 1 item in June here so I am good to not sell something for maybe another 3-4 months here. Its sad that I can have something here for almost a year and move it over to the Evil auction site and sell it in a week there (for the same price). That being said, summer is a slow time all over. Good Luck

For me and the items I sell, it starts slowing down a bit overall online starting with September-February. I fully understand that eBay is a different animal than Bonanza. I was just kind of hoping to have had a few more sales than I do this month. Thanks everyone for your help!

Not that my sales are off the charts monthly, but this month for me has been decent..as good as decent can get for me based on previous months.
Editing to add on June 29[URL removed] Looks like the end of June ended up being a bust for me. I was hoping to end June with a few more sales. Looking forward to getting summer done and see how I will do in the busier months.

Summer months always fall off. The weather is nice and people are spending more time outdoors.

Always slow in the summer months for online sales, and you cannot compare eBay traffic to Bonanza traffic. Bonanza is a much better site but just doesn’t have the traffic flow eBay does, which is why you much spend alot of time promoting your own store.

The one thing you could do is make your items at bonanza less than at ebay. I only checked one of your items, the “[phone number removed] Buick Lacrosse Leather Passenger Rear View Power Door Mirror White” here on bonanza your price is $95.99 with free shipping, but on ebay you have it for $78.99 with free shipping….Who would you purchase this item from?

Summer months have always been rather slow for me, both on ebay and here on Bonz. Vacations, I suppose and people are out doing summer things. I was going to suggest that you sell on more than one venue, but I see that you already are. Us the advertising offered here and use social media to get as much exposure as possible. Then, just wait.
