What do I have to do to get some items sold here? I have sold 3 items in 3 months and over 100 on ebay. Why is it so easy to sell on ebay but so hard here? why can’t this site do what ebay does to drive people to buy more?

When people decide to purchase something online they do one of a few [URL removed]
1. I’m going to check ebay
2. I’m going to check Amazon
3. I’m going to search the internet
A. they search organic (whether it be google, bing, yahoo, etc)
B. they search specifically the “Shopping” link like Google Product search or equalivent on other search engines
Rarely do they say…“Hey I am going to check Bonanza”
So once they make it past ebay/amazon, then they will probably go looking somewhere else and this is where you need to have your items search optimized and you need to check your settings to see if you are submitting your items to Google product search (that is under the Advertize tab) under Sell on Bonanza
The more your items are tweeted, placed on a facebook business page or pinned, the more likely it will come up when someone searches…
And finally, if the buyer finds your item on ebay, then there is no reason to come to bonanza to buy it…unless you offer incentive in you shipped package for them to check you bonanza store (at a later date)

I use social media for both ebay and bonanza. I sell about 30 items per month on ebay verses 1 per month on bonanza.

I just want to remind you that the S L O W period is just beginning. Most people are starting their gardens, thinking of summer vacation plans that they forgot to finalize, and stocking up on advil since the kids are going to be around for eight very long weeks.
