I sold on Ebay for a year, did not like their policies, protecting buyers, not protecting sellers, high fees, all phone calls sellers make for help are routed to the Phillipines, allowing crazy buyers to post anything in a poor review, allowing sellers about 12 WORDS to respond..., really, etc. So, I exported everything to Bonanza 3 months ago and also set up an Etsy shop. I had to do Bonanza because lots of my stuff is too new for Etsy... has to be vintage... pre 1998.

Etsy has been wonderful..., nowhere near the $2-3,000 per month. Volume I did on Ebay, but customers will pay what an item is worth, about 2-3x as much as Ebay buyers, and they do not bug you AT ALL. So far, $900 in 2 months... that is o. K.
BONANZA IS TERRIBLE. I joined, platinum or titanium membership... not sure...$200 per month because that offerred phone support. Guess What? No phones ANYWHERE... not even overseas. Guess what Else? SEVEN SALES totalling about $150 in 3 months and I have paid about $600 for absolutely NOTHING. I am closing my store and going to sell only on Etsy. All new stuff being donated.
Thank God, I am retired and have a pension... this is extra income... and now it is ENJOYABLE. Some are without another income and at the mercy of Ebay... or worse yet, Bonanza.

Yes, BONANZA IS A JOKE. A SCAM. A FAKE STOREFRONT. RUN!

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THESE SCAM ARTISTS ARE NOT IN JAIL... WHEREVER THEY ARE
