Lack of sales on bonanza
Upvote this question 1 Downvote this question

I have over 1400 amazing items with over $10,000 in sales this March on ebay and 3 other major website but not a single sale in over 2 weeks on Bonanza. I pay 9% commission here and even purchased your turbo traffic program. Why are both of us losing out on this website right now?

best if you advertise on social media along with the extra advertising – self promotion on social media sites works best

A few quick notes. Remove the ALL CAPS in your titles. Secondly, price your items differently than you would on eBay, otherwise buyers are going to go to the name they are more familiar with on Google searches (in this case eBay). Give buyers an incentive to come to Bonanza.

we had noticed the flatlineing of sales in the last week plus as well. it was told to us that our listings were no longer being shown on google shopping due to some reason now. perhaps that is what happened to yours as well.

Fashionwish says: March 23, 2018

The cap and all prices are exactly the same as last month on Bonanza and was happy with the residual sales we got. But over two weeks have gone by without a single sale here. It feels like nothing is being promoted like before. I sell them for 10% higher on Posh & tradsey.

I find the end of the month..sales drop…until payday..also if you have not done so, go to add/edit and click on UPdate..to send an updated feed to google…should do this on regular basis to keep your feed fresh for google

ccmom says: March 24, 2018

well, as said before…if they find your items elsewhere, why come here…if they come here, then your sales on other sites would probably drop…do not understand why people don’t get that…

ccmom says: March 24, 2018

ther newer site will always place lower in google shopping over the older more established sites..

Atomicdiner says: March 24, 2018

A newer site, Bonanza is OVER 10 years old. They need to take a lesson from Chgo politics and GET OUT THE VOTE (name) if that is the case. Especially with impending chgs coming down the pipe from Auction site.

I’ve been back here for 3 weeks and was here 1 month before. I’m going to give it 3 months in total this time and see if Bonanza works or not.

classic_wears says: April 01, 2018

I imported about 4000 items from eBay into Bonanza this weekend…The current sales score for the weekend is [URL removed] eBay 50 – Bonanza 0

zappys_closet says: April 02, 2018

When other sellers never heard of Bonanza what does that mean for buyers. You can market all you want but a lot of people don’t trust an unknown site.

Hi. Bonanza’s own internal traffic is slow for many people, so we rely on Google shopping quite a bit.

I notice that your same listings here are listed on eBay for the same price. eBay is more well known and if a buyer is looking in Google shopping or searching Google organic, more than likely they are going to get it off of eBay. So in a sense, your own items are competing with each other.

Wishing you the best.

Posh and Tradsey has a 10% mark up and still sell my items. Ebay is just one of 5 sites

EmpressDepot says: March 26, 2018

I do not know about Tradesy but I know on Posh there site caters to fashion, so it is a different story over there. Of course buyers are going to be attracted and drawn like a magnet to Posh. I’m not defending Bonanza. I’m trying to point out that it’s different here..same price as on eBay, buyers..

EmpressDepot says: March 26, 2018

will more than likely go their first.

EmpressDepot says: March 26, 2018

I meant to tell you the other day that your booth has a really nice presentation.

EmpressDepot says: March 26, 2018

Off topic somewhat but perhaps another look at things. We need more sellers here. Inventory is not as much as it looks at first glance on the site. It’s a catch 22 right now. More sellers makes more buyers because of more inventory. But then sellers tend to go back to places like eBay because…

EmpressDepot says: March 26, 2018

there are more sales. Posh is fashion, eBay was the original big super site, Amazon is in its own ballgame and a big one, Etsy is handmade and vintage. Some of these newer sites that have come out in the last year or two having features that make the site look cool. Maybe Bonanza is somewhat dated..

EmpressDepot says: March 26, 2018

though I do like dated lol. But I’m willing to get with the times and if it is cool we need, them I’m all for it.

EmpressDepot says: March 26, 2018

[URL removed] I do not mean Bonanza looks dated necessarily, but the energy and features perhaps need some coolness :)

Turbo Traffic boosted my sales on Bonanza over the holidays. I also list many more different items on bonanza and not ebay. That way you are not competing with ebay with identical items.

I can’t remove the right arm so the left becomes more useful.
