Hello everyone!
I just recently started selling here
I’ve added my first item, set-up my booth and profile as well as signing up for a golden membership and setting the commission rate to superior
I would appreciate it much if you could check out my booth, my listing and give me some tips on how to make things better.
also, roughly, when can I expect to make a sale?
Thanks!

Welcome to Bonanza!
A few thoughts about your booth/and item listing
Booth
1) Have you sold on any other online marketplaces (like eBay)? If so… make sure you import your feedback so people can know you’re an established seller.
2) It looks like you already have an established Facebook presence with a number of followers. Use Facebook as a marketing channel to drive people to your Bonanza booth. That will be the fastest way to start stimulating some sales
3) Experiment with both the advertising rates and the membership levels. In comparing the Basic vs. Superior rates, you’re paying 10% vs 19% commission. Superior gives you access to Bing and Nextag shopping channels. That might be worth it if you’re getting a large number of sales from those networks. But, if you’re only getting traffic from Google and your own marketing, dropping down to the Basic rate could save you a lot in commission fees. As for membership… the main thing you get with Gold Membership is enhanced analytics. This can be valuable if you’re going to take actions and modify your booth based on the data you collect. You might find a different level (higher/lower) to be more appropriate to your needs… don’t be afraid to change it up to find out what works best!
4) With your booth policy, your refund policy doesn’t specify who pays for return shipping. I’d recommend clarifying this upfront so you don’t have questions about it at a later point.
Items)
1) It looks like you sell handmade goods. I’d recommend removing the current review you have posted… as it brings people to Walmart (which I don’t think sells the same quality stuff, so I don’t think you want people seeing that as a comparison!).
2) You list the sizes you have in stock. My size was not one of them. If I wanted you to make me a pair in my size, would you? If so, that information should be included in your listing… including how I would contact you for a custom order.
3) Your pictures look great! The text in your description, however is distracting. Use of colored highlights, different fonts and multi-colored text can be distracting and looks un-professional. Also, keep the price out of the description (it is already in the listing), especially since it’s different than the listing ($94 vs. $94.95).
And of course… add more inventory! The bigger selection you have available, the better your chances of making sales will be. Anyway… I hope that helps! Good luck with your sales. We’ve certainly found Bonanza to be a fantastic place to sell, and have had great success!
