If you haven’t heard, Bonanza has a new seller fee structure. Here’s the link just in case you haven’t read or heard about it.
https://www.bonanza.com/site_help/advertising/new_broadcaster_fees
My question is regarding the self promoting – the referral link and how it works
if I hire someone to promote, they use the (for instance) Bonz tweet share link. By using this link, will it automatically enter a code so Bonanza can tell it’s self promoting and the lower fee is assessed?
I’m sure I will have other questions as time goes on, but right now, this is a biggie. If the bonz tweet share link doesn’t identify (add referral link), then why is it there?
Thank you in advance for any assistance. I’m dense sometimes so go slow with me :)

Any sale made by a link other than one of Bonanza’s actual ad links or google shopping will not be considered as part of the ad fee…they know when their ads are clicked..they are charged…ie …
These are not included in the ad links fee structure..
If you go to Booth Settings
Click on Advertisement
scroll down to your items you will see something like
EDITED COMMENTS
73 total views…sale as result of these links will be at the flat rate of 3.5%
2 google ad views…a sale due to one of these links will be a pro-rated charge depending on the advertising fee structure I chose..
Since I run essentially a 24/7 twitter campaign..I get loads of total views…but as you see only two clicks from google shopping…
IF the sale occurs because of the ad link, I will be charged for the ads..otherwise, the fvf will be the 3.5%..as stated above
The referral link is new and sounds great…since it looks to give html code to insert into a web page, blog etc…and if a sale comes to you through the referral links than there is no fee as it says the referral link will tell bonz where it came from…free is free…
If the referral link is on your FB or other social media page, and is used and a sale results, then it is still free…that is my interpretation of the new fee structure…
Guess, I may have to get my blog pages up and running again…
New Edit…to show referral link to booth vs direct link to booth

Thanks for the link Once Again.
@cindy
1.) It looks like they may have changed the tier rates to be called Broadcaster rates, is that right basically more or less. Because I am not seeing that we will be charged anything extra if someone were to come make a sale to our booth from one of Bonanza’s advertising initiatives, which now includes more than just Google shopping.
2.) And the referral code that we receive specific to our own [URL removed] If we use that referral link on our own social media, blog, and elsewhere and someone clicks on it, comes to our booth to make the purchase, we will not be charged an FVF at all?
3.) And we will still always be charged 3.5% basic rate FVF when we make a sale for the following two [URL removed]
*If we do not have our booth opted into have Bonanza promote our listings on Google shopping.
*And, if a shopper does not get to our booth and make a purchase via our own specific referral code.
Maybe my wording is not exactly right but this is how I am understanding it.
Thanks,

let’s do short and simple
I put the link (includes social media) or from organic search engines…and sale results…I am charged 3.5% (basic rate)
Bonanza puts the link whether directly to my item (as in google shopping or and ad) or to site itself (bonanza.com)..and a sale results…I get charged up to my advertising level I chose (broadcaster rates)….
Like this one…which links to bonz and to someone’s items
![URL removed]
Referral link…is a coded link that is integrated into web pages..you know all those little ads on people’s pages…then I am not charged….any fee at all
[URL removed] the referral link as far as I can tell cannot be integrated into a tweet…or other social media..but then I am no expert…I already tried
However, my question is….is a widget, since it uses code to place on websites treated, as a referral link…free, direct links place by seller…3.5% or something else…
