although I have items on here, I come to collect daily rewards when convenient. Has anyone actually made money on bonanza or just spent it to be Premium??

I make sales on Bonanza. Just made a $35 sale last night actually. As far as the tokens, i collect mine everyday, and use them towards my fee’s when i sell something. use 500 tokens takes off $1 off your bill, actually a great deal to keep already low fee’s even lower.

I was the same way about 5 years ago. I got mad because I put so much work in, and just suspended my booth. I went to eBay (actually their satellite media site) and expanded inventory a lot. Over the last year or so though, I just really got tired of quite a few buyers on eBay expecting a whole lot more than I could offer doing this in my spare time.
I reactivated my booth about 6 weeks ago and have 21 sales for $188. I also had to place on vacation a few times when I went out of town for more than a day, so maybe active for about 30 days total. That is pretty close to what I had the last several years on the other site. It is a nice little supplement which is all I wanted. I realized if I had never stopped on Bonanza, I would have seen great increases in my sales.
Also I see you have 19 items for sale for a very narrow scope of customers. Broaden your selection, add some items, and things may improve. Also, keep in mind, Bonanza does not advertise much unless you pay the FVF to increase advertising. You can do it for 3%, or they can for 9% and up.
And, while typing this, I sold another. How about that.
