This is a typical slow time of year for sales… I haven’t sold anything on Bonanza since early December… before that it was one sale per month. If Bonanza charged me a monthly fee, I would be gone. I was hoping Bonanza would be a good alternative to Ebay, but so far it hasn’t been. I will stick with them and ride it out. My Ebay sales have slowed, but we are able to still pay the bills…

I would say that this is normal. It is tax season for most people; so I wouldn’t be all to surprised things got a little slow. People are starting to see how much of a better alternative Bonanza is to other marketplaces, that everyone’s booths are fighting for attention more than usual. If anything; I would say it is more effective to work on other means of advertising our booths to get better exposure. Paid ads, social media marketing, etc.

Absolutely TERRIBLE. Nothing since January. I moved a few things from here to the dark side (the auction site) and one went in One minute of listing and another in 2 days. Something is drastically wrong here it seems. These were items I had here for MONTHS with no activity.

I have very little in sales here on Bonanza~~maybe 1 every few months. Ebay has been terrible for the last 3 months. Just the other day I decided to change some of my listings on ebay to include the “promoted listings” option for an extra fee. The only 3 sales I’ve made the last few days are the promoted items. You only get charged the promoted fee if the item sells. If it doesn’t sell I don’t get charged the promoted fee. I’m going to change a lot more of my listings~~if they don’t sell it doesn’t cost me anything. I’ll gladly pay extra if it means a sale and more exposure of my listings.

Sold one today but that is the first one in months. I get very few advertising views. Not sure what’s going on.

Hi,
Since we started setting up here in January, 0 sales so far (but we can understand as we have a lot of price competition around, being retailers……). Very, very few advertising views, as well. As our selling category appears quite evanescent on Bonanza, we tried a HPL to encourage more views and sales by would-be buyers but it hasn’t helped much as of yet (we’re also in the process of creating a second one, so we shall see what happens with that….). No sales on our Amazon selling account during this month, either (while few, there were sales the other months on that one). It seems like people aren’t interested in spending nor searching any longer………..

I don’t think it’s just here. My sales on Etsy are dead, as well. I think that between weather and income tax time, post-Christmas CC bills, etc., there are a lot of things making people hold onto their money.

I realize that every country has different tax deadlines and weather, but I’m in Canada and most sales are to the USA. I find a lot of people are still away on their winter holidays, and our taxes are due April 30th.

No sales here lately. I have been having sales on ebay about 1-2 a day, which is a surprise as it was dead over there.i have had a sale each this month on ecrater,truegether,toucandeal. I just started a couple of weeks ago relisting on etsy. I hadn’t put anything on there for about 6 months. I sold a vintage figure yesterday on etsy.

I’ve had 4 sales in the past month on here. Ebay is kinda slow as well. I have been doing Facebook recently, and having some surprising success on there. I find an item and look to see if there’s a FB group for it. If so I join and make a few comments and then post the item for sale. Surprising how often I get a sale by doing that. I hope your sales pick up.

One sale this month. Extremely slow.

My last sale here was the 16th of this month, and the one before this sale was in Sept. of 2018, Lol so sales are not good at all here.
…..I dont sell on ebay any longer, haven’t in awile, I used to love ebay, but things have changed dramatically there and they have lost all credibility with me and I refuse to sell there any longer.
…..I do sell on Merari and Poshmark, both really good sites for sales if you can put up with them asking you for a deal and the shipping costs, but at least they are very active sites and very easy to list items on.. The only reason i haven’t sold much there is that i dont have much up for sale there, so i should start thinking about listing more on those sites.

March wasn’t bad for me, but I find my sales go in [URL removed] 7 sales in a 9-day period, and nothing for the rest of the month… don’t know why that is.

I do also find that if I try to post something new at least every other day, and update my booth to Google every day, that sales go up…

It’s always been terribly slow on this platform for us. I guess customers don’t shop here for quality handmade ALL-NATURAL soap… or they’re just not seeing us. Sigh… We wish EVERYONE a HUGE turn-around in sales!
