If you open a free booth and are competing with a paid booth selling the same thing your account will be closed suddenly then they deem your account "HIGH RISK"

Worst part is they claimed I was selling a prohibited product on their site and apparently it was only a prohibited product for a free site to sell since the guy paying $200.00 a month for a booth is currently still selling the prohibited product.

Then there are the "low fees" they push the fact that they only charge a 3.5% fee for each item sold and that is true but you will get no advertising what so ever for that 3.5% which means Zero traffic to your booth, if you opt for the advertising on google shopping the fees jump up to over 9% per sale so you may as well stay with ebay at least you will get more traffic there.

Then there is the way they collect those fees, one would think you will be billed monthly No No No not on Bonanza every time your balance owed reaches $25.00 they go and hit your bank account with no warning even if you checked the box asking for notice before they withdraw fees from your bank account... that in itself is a warning that this is a shady company.

Customer service is a joke they call it the "zendesk" really? None existant help all replies are of a generic canned prewritten answer type, the whole site is riddled with sad attempts at humor which says a lot about the quality of the site itself.

My opinion is to stay as far away from Bonanza as you can... if it is too good to be true it probably is

Tip for consumers:
Open you own shop or stay with ebay this site is not worth it
