Why has it been so slow with sales lately?????

Havent made a sale on bonanza in like over 2 months why has it gotten so slow?? I know I was just starting out but now its getting close to a year and I have a full inventory and plenty of items so what gives?? I sell on other platforms and have been doing this iver 13 yrs so I am not a newbie I know when something is wrong and this is just so slow its crazy. Is there something on bonanza that I am not doing? I know every platform is different but this is like…. ridiculously slow especially when I sell jewelry you can’t find anything close to it anywhere else! And its all ONLY high quality non tarnish jewelry that lasts for years of wear. SO WHATS GOING ON BANANZA??? DONR TELL ME I CHOSE THE WRONG PLATFORM CAUSE I WAS LOVING IT A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT THIS SLOW OF SALES IS RIDICULOUS!

@artisanjewelrygifts, sorry that your sales are not going as planned. If you look at your advertising feed page, you will see that you are at our highest tier but that your Google Feeds have been disabled because you have not selected advertising channels. I bet things will pick up once you have addressed that.

Secondly, you have watermarks on some of your main images. Google will not publish items with images that have watermarks in the main image. We would recommend that you change that so all of your items can be included in the advertising feed.

Hope that helps and you realize much sales soon! Thank you for your support.

In few threads on other marketplace’s forum You have [URL removed] “…bonanza this is my first year so I don’t have anything to compare it too but etsy and storenvy are very very slow compared to every year before”, so – as You’ve noticed – that it’s not only on B.

You’ve got there a lot of helpful answers, which can also apply to Your listings here.
Plus, since B. doesn’t have as big buyers base as the older venues have, You need to choose a higher advertising level or promote via social media.

In looking at your Bonanza booth’s items, you are very talented. I have success posting my Bonanza items to eBay. This past weekend I sold 2 baseball caps on eBay which were also posted on Bonanza. Bonanza collects 1.5% from you if something sells on eBay. I also sold 2 men’s neckties listed on

Bonanza but sold on Poshmark. Bonanza has no interface to Poshmark but your items would be perfect on Poshmark. PM takes 20% but after you count Bonanza final value fees and payment processing fees, you’re pretty close to that 20%. Plus all sales are final on PM if you disclose any flaws, etc.

I have noticed a big slowdown here and also on the auction site. Hoping to get better action on Toucandeal.
