I just sold a motherboard on Bonanza. That’s good. But I was surprised at the fees. It looks like there was one view via Google, presumably the sale, and I was charged 9% on the item’s price without shipping.
That actually amounts to more than I pay on ebay. I still will list here, as the more exposure the better, but I thought the fee structure here would save me money over ebay. (I have a store on ebay, which gives me fees at about 4%).
One other observation. There was no First Class shipping option on Bonanza. There was Media Mail, and Library Mail which I never heard of, but no First Class. Consequently I had to ship from elsewhere, which required entering shipping details on Bonanza manually.
Anyway, it was good to make a sale.

This is an official Bonanza response.
Hi @GoldenRuleComputing,
Thanks for your post and congratulations on the sale! We are sorry for any confusion surrounding the seller fees. The reason you are seeing different fees is due to your items being set up to advertise on other platforms, such as Google Shopping. The way advertising works is that we pay up front to list your items on those other sites, then you’ll pay us a slightly higher fee when an item sells.
The fee for each sale will be somewhere between 3.5% and your selected maximum commission, depending on the role advertising played in the sale, how many views it received, etc. If you hover your mouse over the blue “i” icon by each order on your Bonanza bill, you can view all the advertising details for the sale. We will always charge you the lowest commission possible and it will never exceed your maximum commission. You can read more about how advertising commission is determined on the following [URL removed]

Advertising your listings is entirely optional and you are welcome to choose a lower commission or disable advertising entirely if you would like. You can view and edit your advertising preferences by pointing your mouse over the "Selling” link in the upper left corner of any page and selecting “Advertise Items”. Here is direct link to your advertising [URL removed] [URL removed]
So sorry for the shipping label issue. In the future, here is a link to a page that has instructions for purchasing shipping on [URL removed] [URL removed]
We’d be happy to provide you with some more information if you contact us at support@bonanza.com. Thank you!

You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
