Looking for more venues as to where to list my things I have to sell. Are things selling on here? I know it isnt Amazon or Ebay but looking for simplicity and cheaper venues.
Can others share how their sales have been and any tips to get off the ground?
Thanks!

Bonanza needs more Traffic, They know how to do it, but the question is why don’t they??

If I get 2 sales a year if I’m lucky BUT I found out that if I don’t pay the $40 bucks a month plan there is NO visibility so why post? Customer support used to be great but I’ve noticed that has even dropped off. If they had a $19.95 plan with search visibility I might go for it BUT $40 a month is outrageous. Ebay stores are much much cheaper.

Hi! well I use to sell Hundreds of Products here years ago. a lot of changes here since 2008. then sales Crashed. and now I’m back into this site to put 100 percent into it again. one sale last month, and another sale today. so I will restock my site again. it is free to list with unlimited listings. I’d say go for it. most sites charge a fortune to setup.

have had 1 sale in the past year from Bonanza, but I have the basic free booth and it does not have all the perks & seller tools that the web stores & paid memberships receive. eBay is still my main selling venue so most of the time most of my items are listed there. I also sell on Etsy so have some items listed there as well. When items are not listed on either eBay or Etsy, they are active here on Bonanza. Bonanza is not like it was several years ago, but this venue does seem to work well for some sellers. Give it a try & see how it goes…

You get what you put into it. I only work in it very part time. I have a full time job. I sell on another site and have several sales daily. My husband is very sick and I still have 2 kids at home and 3 grandchildren under the age of 3 every other weekend. Bonanza gets very little time. So, I don’t expect much from it.

We were doing pretty well, had plenty of sales. Then September 1, it just crashed. No warning, just no sales, no views, and advertising views went from dozens a day to 2 or none. I have everything on here on eBay and I’m still going strong over there. My feeds are submitted fine. For now. Really had me scrambling to change identifiers, add details, change photos. Then I decided to let it ride. At least we can list for free here. If I never sell anything, however, I have no idea how Bonanza will make any money. Oh, that’s right, they won’t. At least, not off of me. :)

Sales are VERY slow here… I was going to open a paying booth but if I can’t get much traffic on a free both why take the risk. After reading the community chatter here I’m glad I didn’t
I opened my own website 2 months ago and in one month I have had more sales than I have had on Bonanza all year.
Bonanza would make a LOT more money in the form of fees if they didn’t restrict our booths from search results.
My 2 cents.
