Sold ebay 15 years but i am still confused on bonanza

Hi, I don’t know if it’s just that I am getting older but I just don’t understand so many things on [URL removed] traits, widgets, all different advertising aides etc. I wanted to boost my sales so I updated to silver store and paid $24.95 for Turbo Traffic, upped advertising to 13% and nothing has changed, not even one more view. Am I doing something wrong? I figured it would at least generate something but it didn’t. Stats showed I had 0 turbo traffic views, I guess I did something wrong but can’t figure out what it is. I have been trying to figure out widgets for over a year and finally gave up. Is there a place I can read about all of this so it makes sense to me? I used to think I was pretty computer savvy but here I feel like a newbie!
Help!!!

This site is all about Google Shopping advertising (Bonanza does that for you) and self-promoting. If you do not want to do the second try making all your listing Google Shopping compliant. Read [URL removed]

All of my sales so far come from Google Shopping (enable this feature from your settings).
Try adding another Paying Method. Over half of my sales come from the Amazon Payments option.
I tried 13% advertising, did not work. I have my settings on 9% and I guess Turbo Traffic is a waste of money UNLESS you show up in Google Shopping and have trending/hot items. I am kinda new, since last May and it has worked for me.

LIST LIST LIST! Yeah, more listings help get more exposure out there!
Hide the SEARCH AMAZON link in your listings! You don’t want potential customers leave your booth that easy! You can change that in your settings.
My 2 cents!
GOOD LUCK!

Go to Booth Settings, then go to Booth Appearance tab. Scroll down and select Hide Item Reviews. You can do this because you have a paid membership.

I agree with the Google Shopping recommendation. Also, the more payment options available to customers, the better the opportunity for a sale.

Unfortunatlly i can’t get amazon payment on bonanza for some reason. another seller here has the same problem, so i can only accept 1 form of payment.

I’m also since May, imported my listings. Got lucky the first week, had a sale. Then I tried all the advertising options, the percentages. Then tried Turbo. Although the views didn’t change, but I had another 2 sales. Coincidence ? Don’t think so.
Trying and trying all kinds of stuff to get sales in short period of time – WON’T WORK. Period.
Real trying is to keep it going for 3-4 months. And of course adding items at least one-a-day, or every other day.
But to play 9% for one week, then to jump to 13% for another week…NO.
So, TurboTraffic does work. For me it worked during one month. But for two sales it has generated, it’s too expensive.
