I've flat lined with GS, have you?

When I look at my stats for Google shopping, I have flat lined. I show no activity since April 25th. And even before then I had some days where I flat lined in a row. I’ve had some days with one view. Once in a while 2.

Yes, I’ve been taking my listings down permanently and deleting them. I still have about 165 active listings though and just recently dropped down to this number. I’ve been doing this due to a problem I have had with Bonanza that I will not go into because, instead, I would like to concentrate on how Bonanza is going to handle Google shopping in moving forward with the increased FVF.

I sent in an email asking if Bonanza is going to increase their advertising efforts on Google shopping since they raised the FVF and explained how terrible the traffic has been with Google shopping.

It would be good for us to email Bonanza and ask about Google shopping. It used to be a reliable source for sales.

Unfortunately, there’s no sense in emailing them about it.

I received a generic response that had nothing to do with my question.

I also had emailed in about my problem with turbo pack and the same is true for this email I sent….totally unrelated response. I wanted to give it just one more try and see if they could fix my problem.

Bonanza, you really need to pull yourself together.

Best of luck to everyone!!

Sounds about right. Sadly, I’m not sure there are any actual people left to pull it together.

You are so right and …..sadly is a good word. Can you believe our sweet Bonanza site has been taken apart.

When I emailed, I too got what appears to be an automated response that was just dumb.

Lol on dumb. Made me laugh out loud.

So glad I saw this because I thought I was the only one with this problem. I have over 13,000 listings and have only sold 2 items on here in the last year. I used to sell maybe 2 to 4 a month. It appears to me that there is a serious problem on this venue.

I, too, used to have some sales every month. Completely agree.

Yes me too. In both my active booths. No advertising views to Google for about the last week. I reserved items so I only have 49 active in those two booths so I don’t get any listing fees. I have even resorted to listing a few items on “EekBay” just to see if anything sells. I never thought I would go back there :o(
