Hello,

We have been using bonanza for almost a year now and have so far had over 300 orders with out paying for any extra boosts or membership.

Welcome to Bonanza. If you haven’t upgraded your advertising level (and Bonanza commission rate) to at least 9%, your items are not visible in Google Shopping. That means that shoppers only see your items when doing a regular (organic) search or they find your items because they come to Bonanza directly and use Bonanza’s search engine.

Assuming you are getting legitimate item views (actual people who find your items through Google Shopping and/or Google organic results, or through self-promotion efforts), then whether a shopper purchases or not depends on your item’s price, shipping costs, the relevancy of the title of the listing, the description of the item, the delivery time and a timely response to any shopper inquiries.

Here’s an example of what I’m [URL removed] In the following listing ([URL removed] you titled [URL removed]

“Antique poetry book, William Cowper, Romantic poet, 19th century poet, Nature po” (it got cut off due to Bonanza’s 80-character limit on Bonanza, but Google Shopping is 70-characters) Take a peek at Google [URL removed] [URL removed]

You should consider simply titling this “Cowpers Works – by William Cowper”

Another [URL removed] [URL removed]

Consider renaming this title to “Longfellows Poetical Works by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow”

Proper revisions may even get you more views. However, price and shipping costs seem to be what’s driving shoppers these days. Are your prices realistic?

[URL removed] I just found your Cowper book on Google Shopping, but it’s for sale in your ETSY booth, for $2 less (when taking shipping into account) than your Bonanza price. Perhaps you are competing with yourself.

Note about Google [URL removed] you may want to consider revising your titles to remove as much punctuation as possible. All those commas in your titles may affect whether your items get rejected from Google Shopping (assuming you pay the 9% commission).

Good luck.

I am here for less than a mth. i had less than 80 items. n i only made my 1st sale today with less than 70 views in total.
i did not have any upgrades as i m not sure of how bonanza works. i do not c the point in upgrading till i had most of my items listed. it will only made sense then.
y would u go n advertise a shop that is half stocked.

Some of the Conditions of your listings are a little weak. Condition is really important.

For example, one listing says in lovely condition but that is not telling the shopper exactly what the condition of the listing is……….like telling them there are no chips, cracks, crazing or repairs really helps it….stuff like this.

You could start the Condition of the listing as In lovely condition as the punch line but more information on the condition is needed for a buyer to make an informed purchasing decision.
