you picked the wrong place to sell

@seredin – totally agree on that! Bonanza is what it is; not what it was (and Bonanza had it’s chance to really become something several years ago) but has long lost its appeal …I really don’t see much of a future here..

Hi RASVINYL,
We took a look at your booth and we are not seeing any errors. Your items are categorized correctly and are being advertised. We see you have been getting views, but no sales yet.

Bonanza does not have the name recognition or large built in customer base as sites like eBay & Amazon so you will need to do a lot of self promotion. Utilize as many social media sites as possible & just tell as many people about your website as possible, hand out business cards to friends, associates, networking events, etc. Bottom line you will need to advertise. The good part is that you can have a shop on here totally free until a commission fee when something sells, but requires a real commitment. Good luck!

If a seller just wants to list and sell, eBay and Amazon are where you need to be as both are the go to sites for just about everything a buyer is looking for…Bonanza doesn’t do much advertising to bring buyers to this site, so sellers need to advertise themselves, promote, promote,promote on social media and work their own advertising and promotional campaigns on a regular, constant basis to be found on this venue and/or to expect any level of sales on Bonanza. Bonanza is not a list and they will come sort of site….
Bonanza is not that well-known household name that eBay and Amazon have, that is so recognizable around the world, so buyers need to have a reason to come to this Bonanza – sellers need to give buyers that reason.
