I am new to Bonanza & online selling.Have noticed a couple of sellers are offering the “Bill Me Later” service thru PayPal. I would like to offer that to my customers (if I ever get any) but am not sure how to set this up?Wondering if it’s possible to be able to offer other payment services that bill customers in installments?
Quite frankly I don’t know if I’m even going to stay on bonanza.I still haven’t finished posting all of ny items yet & am really hoping I’m not wasting my time.I have been reading some of the posts here & it seems that this site is hard to make sales on.I’ve been here for a month & haven’t had a single view yet!However, I’ve put a lot of time & energy into this so far & don’t want to throw the towel in yet!Anyway, just trying to learn more about payment options right now.I’d really appreciate any & all information. Thanks! :)

Don’t give up! Bonanza is a fantastic location, but, does not have the traffic that the bigger hitters have. You do have to do most of your own advertising and getting your customers here thru social media, sales etc. Not sure on the Bill Me Later option, I do know that that program is thru Paypal and does require credit approval. Give Bonanza a chance, if nothing it is a free location for you to showcase your items. I have been here for years as well as selling thru all the others since 1998. We are coming into our slower time which all sites are due to summer approaching, so in my case I use this time to stock up for Christmas time sales. My sales here get better and better each month, but, I also put time into it daily adding new items, updating pics, blurbs, promotions, deleting old product etc. Good luck too you!

Hello de Grays.
Do not worry about reading what others say because like you say, your booth is still a work in progress.
Question, do you have your booth items set to going into Google shopping? I looked for 2 listings of yours and they are not showing up in there.
[URL removed] I feel Google does not mind some characters/punctuation in titles but yours are a little on the excessive side. For example, you have commas in between words in your titles without any spaces (surprisingly the few I checked are showing in a Bonanza search, not sure about the rest). Plus, you really do not need the quotations. There is room for another keyword or two in your titles and what will help to gain more room is to remove the punctuation. I see some listings where people are using headpiece as a keyword.. you could even put the word head in there perhaps if no room for headpiece?
See this listing [URL removed]
https://www.bonanza.com/listings/-Claudine-Swarovski-crystal-AAA-Cubic-Zirconia-Gold-Tiara/[phone number removed]
I see it has faux pearls on the crown…this could be another keyword in your title (faux pearl or pearl if not enough room but do mention faux in your description). You could even remove the word gold from the title to make more room since you have already listed the color as gold via the Bonanza trait and the listing should come up when doing a site-wide Bonanza search because of this. BUT, do keep the word gold in your description.
If you decide to make some changes to your titles, keep an eye out in Google shopping and in a site-wide Bonanza search to see how your listings are performing. I’d even suggest doing this before adding more listings so that you can get accustomed.
You have good prices compared to others in Google shopping and your items are of high quality. I’d even use the words high quality somewhere in your listing’s description. In my personal opinion “high quality” creates a trust factor and the difference with someone being able to use high quality is that the materials used to make up your tiaras are of high quality…so this backs up the words high quality.
I like seeing that you are using the word beautiful in your description. I know that when I first started collecting jewelry the word beautiful was a draw in for me lol…plus stunning, breathtaking, etc.
Give it your best shot. There are sales that can be made on Bonanza. You are unique to your own booth. Everyone is different.
I do not think we can do bill me later.

On the Bill Me Later option… I believe that is something that you have to set up on your PayPal account. As the seller, you decide whether to offer it to buyers. Once you offer the option (through your PayPal settings), the buyer will be given that option (subject to THEIR credit approval by PayPal). Now, it does not affect your payment in any way. You still get your PayPal payment from buyers in one lump sum. However, the buyer will be offered “credit” through PayPal and, IF they QUALIFY, will be able to spread out their payments.

Dear Sharon (EmpressDepot), the option I’ve presented (I want to show a PayPal Credit button at checkout) will offer PP Credit to ALL eligible buyers (from ALL marketplaces), when they purchase and use PP to pay.
KazooDecor has chosen a different option from the list, the one that allows to add a PP Credit banner to a website – that’s why, indeed, She/He needs to copy the generated HTML code and add it to the chosen place in Her/His webstore.
In Bonanza listings we also have access to a source code of our descriptions, so, theoretically, it can be added [URL removed]
![URL removed]
Unless B. already has or will offer a ready feature for sellers to add such a banner just with one click.

Dear Sharon, I followed only the above 4 steps, as I didn’t want to add it, but after Your comment I process farther and I also had a code, so this one is also to be added to a personal website.
I’ve also tried to add it to the listing’s description source, but it wasn’t saved, which means we are not allowed to add it there.
Seams that these are PP promotional ads.
If I’m not mistaken, if some of Your buyers get approved by PayPal for PP Credit, they will be offered this [URL removed] [URL removed]
