I have been reselling since last April. I started on Ebay, but not long after I cross-posted on Bonanza. I have had only 12 sales in 8 months on Bonanza. I like Bonanza and would love to have a store like I do on Ebay, but I can’t because the sales are just too slow. Is there a way to drive more traffic? Does anyone list solely on Bonanza and make money?

@cgbarn, sorry your sales are not what you want them to be. Rather than answer your question on why sales are slow on Bonanza, I want to re-phrase your question to ask, “How can I increase my sales on Bonanza?” That will net you much more actionable responses.
It is difficult to form one response that will work for everyone, as each seller’s situation and business is different. Fortunately, we have a variety of tools that can help identify ways you can increase sales. Check out the Seller Checklist (https://www.bonanza.com/booths/redirect_in_booth?to=seller_checklist) for tips on boosting your sales (note that you must be logged into your account to access your customized checklist from the link above).

Well I can easily say this is the most user friendly site for sellers but sadly it just isn’t of any use for non US sellers.
I gave it a try as a UK seller tried the Advertising options etc and discovered it only advertises on US based google etc.
I’ll leave what I have on here keep the EBAY share and maybe come back if they ever decide to make an actual UK site
The sites ease of use and community gets a 10 out of 10 but I simply couldn’t recommend it to my fellow UK sellers as there’s just no functions to get seen on UK google, media etc

I’m slow, too. Around February and March me and my family go through a rough financial time. We have a business offline that slows down in the winter. I was hoping to be able to count on Bonanza traffic to help with some of that burden but so far, while I’ve gotten a few sales, it has not done part of the job I had hoped for.
I do not want to have to depend on Google so much. I would like to be able to count on Bonanza internal traffic as well. After all, I know Bonanza traffic cannot be responsible for all my sales….but just some more internal traffic would be a blessing.
If I had stuff that was not sellable, I’d blame it solely on myself. I always do my research when buying something to sell to make sure it has sold on eBay previously. I’m competitive with eBay pricing and on Google shopping.
I am excited that Bonanza is ramping up advertising at their end recently. Hoping that will make a difference. It sure cannot hurt.
I also give Bonanza a 10 out of 10 when it comes to ease of use.
Still, I plan to stay here on Bonanza.

Terrible selling site ….No replies to emails… I have purchased a webstore 0% help. I question Bonanza if they actually list my items with there marketing tool on Google shopping and others…. I sent time setting up a webstore and very disapointed . I looking to close webstore to other westore solution that has customer service offered…. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT….

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
