First, be aware that you are dealing with less traffic on this site as compared to some others like eBay or Amazon, which means you have to earn your sales here. the good news is that you can have a shop here with as many listings as you want for free, pay nothing until something sells. it is important to utilize all social media, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, etc. & promote your shop as often as possible. be sure to have clean, clear photos clearly displaying the item for sale, not a lot of distractions in the background, white background works well for many items. have concise, descriptive titles, offer free shipping whenever possible & of course competitive prices are also key. also be sure to collect your 10 daily tokens, under my account, just click on rewards, it is a green button, when you have 500 they are worth discounts on selling fees. it is also important to have as wide variety of items as possible, to appeal to the largest, broadest customer base possible. another important tip is look into making sure your items are Google search compliant, which means including things like UPC codes & other traits whenever possible, this will help your items to appear in more search results. main thing, promote, promote, promote! Good luck!!

Hi clicknshop,
The information which Jewelsbelegance has given is good information which we who have struggled with sales have been able to turn things around with the use of social medial, Pinterest, Twitter as well as the other information listed.
I traveled to your booth and checked out what you have for sale. Here’s the first problem, go to google and type any one of your titles and you will notice that you are no where to be found. If your item appeared you would see a listing noted for Bonanza which I do not see. The second problem is your CAP LOCK KEY. Google frowns on capitals in a listing. When preparing your title write it out [URL removed] Raw. So with this being said, you may check to see if google has sent back your listings due to errors. You may check in your booth settings by going to the top left and click [URL removed] Selling Dashboard, Advertise Items, then click on Feed Diagnostics. This feed will show which listings are disapproved, etc.
Hope this information helps. Good luck!

The previous 2 sellers provided some helpful information. I also think in order to get increased traffic to your booth go to selling and then to advertise items in the dropdown box and sign up to pay for some advertising. Possibly 13% fee when the item sells as to list is free. I’ve been doing that for increased traffic and promoting my booth in the community site for deals and promotions. Advertise your free shipping which is a great thing to offer! I wish you the best of luck!!!

this site has slow sales because people don’t know about bonanza. I was averaging two sales a week and have had 1 for october. I even have a booth. One theory is the election is causing people for many reasons not to buy. Once its over people will calm down and then start buying because of pent up demand. the others that answered all have good points. If you are patient you will get repeat buyers eventually. Its just SLOW

People do not go on social media to shop. If you have to use social media to try make sales, you won’t make any.
You have to do what it takes to get the most views from internal traffic on here. Which is not nearly as much as Ebay and Etsy.
You can try to make sure your titles are good for Google search, but in my years of selling online and researching online, I have never seen a Bonanza listing on page 1 of a Google search.
You also have to have what people want to buy.
