I’ll let others address your question about membership, but one thing stood out when I looked at your items. Many say pickup only (obviously too big to ship). However, there is no indication of WHERE a buyer would pick them up from. Or did I somehow miss this information? Consider adding this information to either your profile page or in the listing’s description.

I would set my final value fees at 9%, and like EmpressDepot said, to get your feet wet and learn the ropes. In addition, you should really fill out the ‘About me’ section of your booth and add as much information as possible. The same goes for having as much information as possible in your descriptions, especially concerning the pick-up location. If you have feedback from eBay, that should be imported to show you have been selling online. You definitely have a niche market and should promote your items as much as possible across social media. We do have to work a bit harder on Bonanza for our sales. And, rather than a membership, I do think buying a Turbo Traffic at least one time to see how it works for you would be helpful. I think, given a bit of time, you will see that Bonanza is not as expensive as eBay. The one biggie is no relisting fees. You items stay listed until they sell or you delete them. And, when you have questions there are so many wonderful people in the community forum that are willing to help. I come here every day and am always learning something. Good luck to you.

I would not worry about getting a membership right now. Give yourself a chance to get your feet wet here first while u r learning Bonanza. Then, if u decide Bonanza is a good fit u can do one free month with the gold membership. If u like it and there are signs that the gold membership is worth it, then u can pay for a monthly membership (or a yearly membership at a discount).

Membership or no membership, expect low to no sales here. Paying for a membership is a big waste of money, it will not bring you any more sales than a non-membership booth. I deleted the items in my booth for right now because of VERY LOW sales. Yes, I did a LOT of advertising on social media, but because Bonanza is not very well known, I had low sales. 12 in over a years time. Save your money, go with a free booth at 9%. No matter what they say about paying the full amount will depend on how much traffic THEY generate, they will ALWAYS charge you the full percentage.

I agree with the other answers you [URL removed] try out a free booth first before you decide to pay for membership.

However, there’s another important point to reducing your fees on [URL removed] Use your referral link in any social media posts, emails, etc… And make sure you add your website domain (if you have one). If you do that, then you pay zero fees for any buyer that comes to your booth directly from your social media post / email / website.

The free referral info is a bit hidden, so it’s easy to overlook. Under your Seller Dashboard, go to Advertising / Free Referral Traffic.
