Hi I wanted to know if sales are profitable with Bonanza? I am presently an EBAY seller and I want to get far away from them. It seems like this website has awesome reviews but just wondering if items are selling.

Hello areino1027,
Thanks for reaching out and welcome to Bonanza! We have many successful sellers who are coming over from eBay due to changes in their policies and fees. Bonanza makes a great alternative marketplace! One of the most common questions we receive is how to increase sales.

It takes work, a different kind of work than being on ebay or amazon…but many do quite well..and it will take time
Good Luck

Hi, I’m in the same situation as you. I’ve sold on Ebay for over 18 years and just couldn’t handle it any more. In one week my sales dropped down to about 16% of what they had been before that. I’ve been on Bonanza for about 5 days and no luck so far with sales, but I’ve got about 170 items for sale so far and I’m doing whatever I can find to promote my items. I’m still on Ebay since that’s the only place I’m getting any sales at all.

It takes a lot of promoting! And if your priced right and what your selling. You need to find your target audience. Do you have a Facebook page, Twitter, Pinterest, blog, even LinkedIn (I’m a member of a vintage and antique group that deals with a lot of items you have in your booth). I, too, agree sales are slow here. From what I’ve read, they are amping up their advertising next year. This place has so much potential, but they’re trying not to make it “another ebay”.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
