To each their own, however, my sales continue to increase monthly here on Bonanza. Now, with that being said, I put in about 2-3 hours a day between here and my other sites constantly upgrading pics, advertising, adding new items which I do daily etc. I used to sell on Feebay and did from about [phone number removed] until the fees became ridiculous and the buyers became shadier and shadier. Does it take more work here…YES! but there is nothing wrong with that as for running a business you must put the time in and there are no fees unless you sell something, you are out no money whatsoever, making this a great place to create your display booth, draw people from the other sites to here, I myself offer various coupons within each order either from this site or others but always direct them to my booth here, I also have a few of the people here advertise for me which works great. Bonanza has great customer service, they do not charge ridiculous fees, extremely easy to use and navigate, constantly updating etc. I can already tell you that it will take more than 2 months to get your booth booming especially since we are coming into the slow time for online sales on every site, but, you cannot blame a site for your booths downfall. There are so many sites to sell on now and customers know this and price check everything, But Bonanza continues to remain within the top 6 yearly meaning many have heard of Bonanza, but continue to go to Feebay or Amazon where they can get a possibly cheaper deal, that blows my mind as Bonanza is so much better than both of those. Hopefully it works out for you!

I think you’re being a little too hard on Bonanza. It’s a great selling venue. Yes, getting people here is a problem, but that’s the case if you have your own site, and other selling venue’s as well. After TONS of research for the last few years, it’s clear that amazon is the big problem for small sellers no matter the venue. They’re sucking the life out of small businesses, literally bankrupting some. They’ve totally monopolized e-commerce. Until they’re reigned in, us little sellers will struggle. But I think changes are coming – sure hope so, anyway. There’s now reason to believe something will be done about their swindling and crushing other businesses.

And then there’s google…love of the big players, no friend to the little guy/gal. But since people keep flocking to google in spite of all the negatives and privacy issues, it’s used to get some traffic here. I get that and accept that in spite of my loathing for that G-monster, but have hope it will change in time because google’s practices are so unfair and slowly but surely people are becoming more aware of their shenanigans.

Next we have fake – er – facebook and twitter i.e. social networking. That isn’t going to help at all. It’s too saturated and people are using it more to bash, trash, fight, bicker, swindle, stalk, lie, cheat and steal – not shop. The ads on those sites also favor the big players/spenders and consider the small business person useless because that’s what those sites are really all about – gathering people’s personal data and using it for advertising.

You could encourage your fee-bay customers to come here. I put a business card in each fee bay sale and on it I have “for a bigger selection visit my Bonanza booth” and then add the URL. I’ve already gotten a few sales here by doing that and I just started. I offer items here that I don’t on fee bay and some items I price lower. If everything is duplicated here or on fee bay, fee bay is more likely to get the top result just because people are more familiar with them.

As sellers here, I really believe we have to be more creative in getting people to our booths. Social networking is a bust – waste of time and money if you’re buying “likes” and/or tweets. And quality listings are important – cheap junky listings make the whole site look – well, cheap.

I’m rambling, sorry. Either keep working it or if you’re so discouraged you’re getting yourself all upset, perhaps Bonanza isn’t a good fit for you. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

I am slowly transferring all my Bonanza items to another site. I opened my own site and have it as an online store. I like having my own place a lot better. I’ve been on Bonanza since around November of 2017, and have made about 4 sales. I have advertised the crapola out of my booth here to no avail. It;s just not worth hanging around any longer.

well, its safe to say i have tried everything on nanza. at this time i have tried 2 of their subscriptions. and i have google and bing ads pointed at this site and i havent sold anything. that being said i sell like crazy on ebay. and i have tried telling nanza. but it must have fell on deaf ears. if they would get their butts in gear and do something they would make decent money off me alone. but, i guess they dont want to i dont know. i just use this place for a picture dump so i can store my pics and stuff here instead of on my puter

your statement is simply not true – it is up to you to get your items promoted and out there via social media or other venues

Well it looks as if what I originally stated is divided 50/50
Perhaps Bonanza has a click

What empirical data do you have to back up your claim? How many sellers comprise your “many sellers” source pool?

I have been on Bonanza for many years now and I have paid for all the bells and whistles off and on, it makes no difference if your paying or not. If you do not have what someone is looking for it just will not matter.
I like Bonanza my sales are not great but it works, Have sold some big ticket items here. I think they need to work on their shipping program it stinks..
I as about everyone sell on more than one site, its no different than owning a franchise. Each client is familiar with the site they like so trying to drag or coach them to a site they may never have heard of could hurt or or help?

I have had only 2 sales on Bozo so far. I like this site as I can make HPLs. I fave HPLs. I was sad when Esty took that feature away.
And TBH, the HPLs is really the only thing that makes this site fun for me. Being the slow traffic, I’d have quit this before I started.
You know, now that I think of it, I like the daily Bonanza Rewards too.
I agree that Bozo needs to get their name out there. This will drive traffic directly to the site so people can browse EVERYONE’S stuff, not just individual stuff that appears on Google Shopping~~which I don’t use, BTW.
I don’t have a cell phone, so I can’t use apps. I do put my listings on Tumblr, Twitter, Pinterest, and FB. It’s not work at all to do this. Just copy and paste.
I don’t think I’ve generated much traffic via these venues. But it’s no skin off my back to do it.
The great thing about this site is that there’s no up-front fees, unless someone buys a store (or whatever they call it here).
I was doing well on C-Bay (not sure if we are allowed to use other selling plaform names here) UNTIL I bought into the store. Then my sales plummeted! I barely even made enough $$$ to pay my monthly store fee.
Oh well. There’s a whole Hades of a lot of online competition. I think that’s the biggest issue.
I don’t have a store here~~yet. I don’t see me buying into one. I see what happened on C-Bay when I did it there.
I truly hope sales pick up for you. The more sellers we have here, the more the customers will be attracted to this site.
I agree that Bozo needs to step up the name recognition. I never heard of Bozo until right before I started selling here. A friend of mine sent a list on online selling platforms and Bozo was one of the sites on that list.
I must say that the shipping agreement other sites have with USPS/UPS does put the others ahead of the game. I would like to see Bozo do the same. Those shipping charges will make or break a sale.
