Well, this is absolutely ludicrous… why is there a link to search walmart for reviews of MY item? All this link does is cause the buyer to leave MY page which is about MY item and buy an item from somewhere else! This “Search Walmart” link only serves to refer a buyer away from MY items (or anyone elses who sells on Bonanza)… This link is a very ill advised idea and it needs to go away. If a buyer wants reviews on an item, let them go to Google and check it out themselves instead of referring them to another market place filled with items they could buy instead of buying what they were looking at in the first place… All you are doing is encouraging them to buy elsewhere! I’m not in this to be like Macy’s in Miracle on 34th street… “if we don’t have it lets see if we can send you to someone who does”… I’m in this to sell MY goods, not someone elses!

“Big Business wins again.”
Copy that, bitsnpieces11. I hadn’t seen this (ad blockers) yet. The deck is stacked so high against us I really wonder sometimes if we’re not just pawns in their big money games.

I am new here and just started listing my handmade jewelry. I looked at some other handmade jewelry on Bonanza and noticed the link to Walmart. My first thought was, “Oh, this seller has items at Walmart. They probably don’t have any reviews here yet.” At that time, I never clicked on the reviews button. Instead, I viewed another handmade item and saw the link for Walmart on that one too. Again, I still thought, “Oh, wow this seller has items at Walmart site too.” Then I went to view my frog earrings. To my surprise, the link to Walmart was on my listing too. Finally, it phased me. I thought, "This must be a way for Bonanza to partner with Walmart somehow. I saw almost 2 million items that had something to do with a frog. Many of which were neither handmade nor earrings. As a shopper I would have left Bonanza in a heart beat. After-all, They have so many cute things. So many more choices.
How ridiculous is it, to put this link in the sellers descriptions. I do not like the link in my listing because it initially looks like reviews that I have received as a seller on Walmart, which in my case untrue. It also doesn’t make sense on one of a kind handmade items. People can buy my frog earrings here. If they want frog earrings, they are right here. They do not need to go to Walmart. Otherwise, why not just go sell on Walmart site.
I am going to have to considered whether on I want to be a part of Bonanza. I may quit.
