Dropping ebay and moving to bonanza; can silver users tell me what they think of the plan

We just cannot stand dealing with eBay any longer. I would like to hear from some Silver users about their experience with the plan. Or any user on the best approach to launching our booth or best practices…thank you

Welcome! eBay continues to send me email, trying to coerce me to sell there. They send all kinds of bonuses and incentives, but I just ignore them. I’ve head way too many horror stories to go there. You have re-confirmed that my decision is the best one. Sandi/EmbellishMart

I too have recently left eBay and signed up with Bonanza which I have been here a week and concerned no sales as of todays date. My average was 20 items sold per day. I too have joined the Silver and upgraded my advertising. I am patiently waiting. I have 1000’s of items to add for sale. Good luck!

How in the world can you get an answer to a very important question. I am new, I have items to list. Can you help me? I have Bath & Body mist with 25 different scents but how do I get a drop down for my customer to select. Please any help is most appreciated. Thank you.

Don’t quit FLEABAY! I like bonanza, but not enough traffic/buyers.

I would not use any membership until your ebay listings have fallen out of google search and you bonz listings start placing higher than your old ebay listings in google shopping.

Start putting links out to twitter, fb (there is a bonz items app that will allow you to put your items on your facebook business page…if you have one) and/or other social media…push your booth, make sure it is google compliant, make sure your feed is doing well (attributes, google rules on Titles, Descriptions, and Images, etc)

Get your self a nice banner with a store name on it (you can give your booth a name, it is in the Item Basics)…get a nice matching avatar…fill out all policies, booth details and about your self on the profile page…

I used the silver for over 4 years on 2 booths with occasional upgrades during holiday season…I liked it because it allowed you to re arrange items, put in promo booth panels and you could use it to generally give your booth a bit more than the generic look.

If you need some help with banners/avatars Divinefabrics has a nice selection of free ones and there are many others who will work with you and design one for a fee

Only reason I do not have it now, is illness and hospitalization made it hard for me to keep up with 3 booths, so I downsized and am re-working now…

I love the people on Bonanza, but my sales on eBay still are WAY better. I would love to sell more on here, and yes, I’m tweeting and pinning, doing the tweet for tweet, twitter tweet retweet, etc. I still keep plugging along on here. Like I said, I enjoy the people on here.
