What is related retailer?

Go to batch edit and click on traits. Have many listings that show “related [URL removed] sears”

Good question! This is a trait that Bonanza adds behind the scenes to help buyers find your items. So it is a good thing, your welcome!![URL removed]

I noticed this several months ago, sent support a bmail and was told this was just a test and did not mean anything. My concern was products that were marked related retailer-Sears or JCPenny- which are not contracted or licensed to carry the items they were added too. I asked support to change to the correct licensed stores which were Neiman Marcus, Nordstroms, and others. I am still confused about this, what it does, and why JC Penny and Sears are used? What exactly does ‘behind the scenes’ mean? And should we contact support now if items are indexed to a vendor not contracted to carry the item?

ok- will send examples- thanks!

I would like to know why my high end vintage jewelry is showing related [URL removed] Target. I find that rather insulting! I sure hope customers don’t see any of this!

I noticed the same thing with my hand-crafted jewelry items, even some that were priced at more than $100. I find it rather annoying to go to each of my 100+ items & see whether Bonanza decided to add that. Shesh!

I’m still trying to decifer Mark’s answer, so could you please explain how this will help us? How many peeps are going to look for a 100 year old Homer Laughlin platter and think ..oh gee maybe Sears carries it lol

I also would like an answer as to why my vintage items refer to Target, Sears etc?

It will NOT help us! How does Target relate to handmade artisan jewelry?

I find this extremely annoying & unnecessary. It popped up without any notice & I had to waste a lot of time checking each of my 100+ listings to remove it. My handcrafted jewelry would not be sold at Target, so why did Bonanza add that to my listings? It also chose to add a Style to listings where I had specifically omitted that option. Stop messing with my listings without notice or my permission.

Oh — I just went to check the items I edited earlier today, & had to re-edit 8 or 10 because the Related Retailer showed up again after I removed it. Aaarrrgghhhh!! This is NOT a good thing. Don’t mess with my listings. Did Bonanza hire a bunch of ex-eBay employees who like to mess up what works?

More problems with this trait. In batch editing mode, looking at the list of my 100+ items, 4 items still appear to have the Related Retailer trait, but when I click over to those items, the trait isn’t there. I don’t have to remove it from those listings but how accurate is the list?
