Bonanza
Questions & Answers

NOT WORTH IT! Bonanza is a waste of your time no 1800 number to call them. Just a jerk mark the owner will waste your time. I warn you stay away from this site! If you just want to add your product becauae you cant find another website ecommerce and you rather just sit there and play stupid games in the bonanza group waste your life waiting for a sale. This is the last resort!

There are no monthly fee unless you upgrade. BUT this site doesn't sell. Unlike eBay

Bonanza has an internal customer service department that can be contacted directly at support@bonanza.com, or you can click on the "Contact" link found on the footer of any page on Bonanza.com

There is only a monthly fee if you have a store. I dont - I just list when and what I have.

Bonanza is free to join, you can start a booth at no charge to get started, There are a few levels of booths or stores you can open starting a 10 dollars a month going up to about 200 dollars a month. But you can use the free option and upgrade when and after you get started.

They charged me 16% fee which is 6% more than ebay...

Bonanza doesn't help you get sales without charging you. You have to pay their monthly membership fees and then another 16% to get your items on google, Nextag, etc. Then they'll add turbo traffic to boost sales which costs you even more, bottom line 25% or more.

The fees are voluntary. You can start with zero insertion fees, however there are 3 plans that you pay monthly fee for.

As far as less FVF, you pay 3.5% for no advertising at all, and up to 16% if some advertising is done. You get what you pay for in this case scenario.

YES, they do! They started charging listing fees without telling their sellers. Now tons of sellers are pissed off and feel ripped off by Bonanza because they just started charging up to $20 a month just to have listings. This is a new charge, and many sellers were never told about it and only found out about it after the fact. I don't even make $5 a month in sales on this site, so why would I ever consent to paying $20 extra each month? I am fileing a dispute to try to get my $20 that was taken with no authorization. My recommendation would be to stay away from Bonanza, especially as a seller.

We are making sales every month == slow going but it's another outlet -- we are going to go to I offer next -- the more exposure the better our sales and of course the more listings we make the better our sales as well. These days you can sell almost anything... We sell on ebay and our listings from there goes right to Bonanza -- of course you'll have to find out how to do it. Once your item sells on Bonanza or Ebay you'll have to remember to take it off. Ebay now dings you for out of stock items - if you forget to take it off.
