Your Most Requested Feature is Now Live on Bonanza

Bonanza has been built on the feedback that we consistently receive from our users via many different channels. No matter the source for feedback, a few things have remained the same. Firstly, our customers are the best source of feedback. You use the site every day and are dialed into what changes would benefit many. Secondly, feedback is not criticism, it's free advice. Thirdly, the process for implementing feedback does not need to be a complicated path. You tell us what you want, and if it makes sense we implement it, simple as that.

To show our thanks, we bring you our latest improvements courtesy of our most valuable asset, you:

 

Make the name of the booth searchable. Users can now use the main Bonanza search engine to search for a users booth name. Booth names will be indexed in the main search. Because booth names are not unique (meaning that more than one person can have the same booth name), we will show multiple results when need be. This feedback is courtesy of our feedback page on Bonanza.

Don't mark up shipping labels purchased on Bonanza. We have updated our shipping labels so there is zero markup for sellers who have a Gold Membership or higher (only fee charged is that which our credit card processor charges us, which can be minimized by depositing to your shipping label account in bulk). This feedback is courtesy of the Ecommercebytes Seller Survey.

New version of mobile app has been released. We have just released a new version of our mobile sellers app (read about the rollout here). This should resolve users reported with installation. We are still waiting on Apple to approve our iOS version. This feedback is courtesy of the feedback received directly to support.

Add more advertising. We have just added product feeds for Google Shopping Canada and Google Shopping India (to compliment our existing USA and UK feeds). To be included in these feeds, make sure you offer shipping to those countries and your have your Google Shopping feed active on Bonanza. This feedback is courtesy of all of our feedback channels.

Make it easier for users to find the Background Burner. After a burn pro member signs in, if they don't have a booth, they are redirected to their pro dashboard. The "Background Burner" link in the left sidebar on My Bonanza pages will automatically redirect pro users to their dashboard. The "My Bonanza" notices at the top of the "My Bonanza" page will show how many burns the user has completed in the last 24 hours, and clicking it will direct them to either their pro dashboard (for members) or their burn gallery (for non-pro users). This feedback is courtesy of an email sent to our support team.

What else are we working on? Being able to offer Live Support Chat on a full time basis is something that we plan to have in place by the end of March. We also are actively adding more programmers so that we can keep this rocket ship headed in the right direction. If you happen to know someone who would be a good fit, be sure to direct them to our careers page. Lastly, please keep that feedback coming. Whether it is via support, via our feedback page, via a blog, or sent via a carrier pigeon, keep it coming.  We do listen.  We do care.  We sincerely appreciate you taking time out of your day to let us know how we can improve Bonanza for all. Thank you!

Hi Mark, great job as always implementing new features as requested by fellow Bonanza users. That is why I voted Bonanza first in class on the recent ecommercebytes survey.
I am going to make another pitch to you for 2 suggestions I left on the feedback page, both of which seem to be in the spotlight these days.

1. Raise Capital For Additional Advertising By Allowing Bonanza Sellers To Buy Private Stock (Class A Shares – nonvoting) – this would be unique to the industry and create tremendous loyalty for Bonanza sellers not to mention more money in the coffers for Bonanza (and its owners…). Etsy has announced their IPO. This could one up Etsy by not only doing an IPO but issuing 2 classes of stock (one for the sellers and one for investors).
2. Buy, create, or co-brand a payment system. Since I last mentioned this idea, Apple Pay has been introduced, Google has been reinventing Google Wallet, and eBay has planned the spinoff off PayPal (a financial windfall for eBay no doubt). Bold steps for Bonanza maybe but with it might come bold results for all of us…

Thanks as always and keep up the great work…DaveMinNJ

Oh my ….Just the thought of having those features as described by DaveMinNJ made my heart beat fast….

I have been a seller here when the site was in Beta…I have 4 booths….and I am growing along with the site – just not quite as fast as the site…

anyway…The Bonz Gurlz and Guyz are the best…I feel great recommending that potential buyers and sellers take a look at Bonanza….

Thank you CREW for all you do to make my little piece of the WWW dot Com feel special…..

The dog is not my photo and they will not let me verify my phone number. I get the verification number but no place to type it in.
Help
I have emailed them.

Thank you for the update. While some of the new news doesn’t relate to me, spedifically, I appreciate knowing how proactive you always are,Mark. Thanks for the FYI…right now struggling to get my webstore visible. I went to Pinterest and now while I am still learning that venue, it has been suggested that I change to a business account there, but you have to have a website. I have a URL for pauli beverly hills and A WEBSTORE here, but don’t know if that would be enough to verify me there. If you know the answer to that ?, please let me know, if you have time, since you sound so busy…Thanks again,pauli

I have sold on Ebay for years. It is easy for people to search on Ebay .If you use item name such as books all the books are listed. When you search this site you get listings by booth.I had someone search by book name and my listing did not even come up. I have only started on Bonanza and honestly do not know how you can sell anything if your listing does not show.Is there any chance that you will be uncomplicating your search engine in the future?
