I,v been selling on e-bay for 12yrs. but want to try bonanza but cant figure out all the monthly fees

Is there such a thing as listing an item and just paying a final fee for the sale like e-Bay or do I have to pay a monthly fee. Please help if you know

“Is there such a thing as listing an item and just paying a final fee”

Yes, You can open a free booth https://www.bonanza.com/site_help/booth_setup_basic/booth_setup_steps, upload all Your items and You will pay only after a sale.

A final fee % will depend on the level You [URL removed] https://www.bonanza.com/site_help/booths_setup/bonanza_advertising_faq (in order to have Your items in Google shopping, it should be at least 9%).

I would recommend starting with a free booth, get your items listed and choose the 9 percent advertising level (before committing to a monthly subscription as the fees may kill you at the start with minimal items.)

Like artistsunion mentioned, the 9 pct will get you into google shopping. Up to you if you want to increase that percent level (and still remain subscription free after giving it some time as sales here are much slower than on the Auction site.
Know that sell fees on shipping costs are waved here on the first TEN dollars which helps a little if you are in the free booth program here. Paying a monthly subscription has other benefits but I dont sell enough to justify the cost for that.

One more important item is to import your feedback from Ebay over to here to show buyers you are a knowledgeable seller.

Best of Luck with your selling here and Welcome.

If you’re planning on dropping ebay totally to sell on Bonanza you may want to rethink that idea. I started here last fall as well as staying on ebay after 19 years selling there. Since that time I’ve sold 5-6 items here compared to around 200 sales on ebay. Buyers here don’t want to pay the price that ebay buyers are willing to pay for items. I’m glad I didn’t drop ebay to sell here~~it would have been a big mistake.

I agree with you about ebay. I am getting no sales but I am looking else where now.

You are exactly right on target, No sales here, VS Ebay

There are no buyers here, I have tried this for several weeks, no sales here while daily sales at Ebay.
