Webstores, are you getting traffic to your store
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

I am thinking about getting a webstore. I have had a booth on Bonanza for a few years now. A couple of my wholesalers are telling me that if I don’t have a standalone webstore by 11/1 they will no longer sell to me. That they want to get rid of all the ebay sellers that they have sold to the past year as,they no longer want their products sold on ebay/Amazon/Bonanza.

I would, except for what I buy from them is a niche product and it is a good seller for me, as they only approved a few people to sell their items.

They wouldn’t be the only wholesalers I have heard of doing that. I have a couple of mine do that recently – but I have my own. I am in Australia though – so a little different.

The webstore here however, is tied to the booth so the items will have to stay listed on Bonz in a booth, essentially meaning that you are still listing on bonanza, unless things have changed recently.

I have a stand alone webstore elsewhere, but with google changes it has been very hard, the monthly fee used to cover the google product search charges, but the new changes, it barely gets a few items listed/month

SO..unless your wholesaler is going to come up with advertising money, it will be a struggle to get a stand alone store going and it will take several months of ad money before you may make any kind of return…

But with a webstore don’t you get your own url? I think thats the term I want to use. Or does it say Bonanza.com on it.

BargainHunterCrafts says: October 03, 2016

The wholesaler wants the webstore url,just to verify that i have a stand alone on line store.
