I do not mean to be rude, but honestly, here’s what I [URL removed] You are a dropshipper with little online sales experience. Your profile photo is unprofessional. Your booth banner doesn’t even have your booth name in it. There are typos in your profile. Why would a buyer take a chance and lay out hundreds of dollars on a purchase from you when they have lots of other choices? If I were you, I would reconsider my line of inventory and focus on a lower price point to build up a reputation.

I’ve made a few sales here, but most on ebay. I believe ebay pressures buyers to leave some sort of feedback, bonanza site does not. If you don’t meet ebays feedback standards your out! This gives buyers site assurance. If bonanza placed more reliance on buyers giving feedback, sales would increase for sure. Ebay has changed drasticly from years ago..when it had less rules and more seller freedoms…much like bonanza is now. However, ebay climbed that mountain alone, bonanza did not! Ebay is the big brother calling the competition out and setting buyer rules!

i loaded up 350+ items here to escape ebay also , it was a waste of time . nothing sells here , that’s my experience with this site . if they uploaded to google shopping you would have a chance , without it expect nothing . i tried bonanza because ecommercebytes.com has rated them highly but it comes down to sales – there are none . i had a couple sales at first then one then just nothing . there’s a box you can check to pay higher fees to upload to google shopping , i checked the box but a couple days later my items were still not showing , also i refund any extra postage paid to my buyers (there is no parcel post rate on the sell form , there used to be ) which then gets me threatened to be thrown off the site even after i discussed it with customer service – this message still shows
Refund Rate
Explanation_message_warning_sm Poor
Performance [URL removed] 99th (1st percentile = best)
Your refund rate puts you at risk for having your booth placed on hold. We recommend you use our help section or contact our support team to ensure that your inventory remains up-to-date.
this company is not doing well , i really wish someone had come along and destroyed ebay but they are not getting it right here .

Hello, I feel your pain. I also sell on ebay and I’m trying to get away from them too. It’s only going to get much worse there. I used to sell and have a fairly decent amount of sales but for the last month, I haven’t had any at all. I belong to ebay, dailypaintworks and now bonanza and I still can’t get a sale. I think some or most of it has to do with that russian security breach that’s been going on. I’ve had the regular amount of views but I can’t get a sale no matter how much marketing I do. I can only guess as to why.

Your listings look good to me. Sales can sometimes be a bit slow here. I tend to pick up around the holidays myself. I will say I think this site is growing and going the right direction and over time sales will start picking up for everybody.

I seem to average about 1 sale a month or every 2 months on bonanza, and that is from outsiders, not members…..On ebay, my sales have gone down…I don’t think it has anything to do with a breach, since this has been going on for me for the last 1-1/2 years or so….before that i did about $1000 a month free & easy, now im lucky if i can get $200 per month, and they just dropped…so not sure what the problem is, i don’t mind paying the fee’s just wish i would get the sales there…..and here on bonanza, this is such a great site, but so sad with the lack of sales.
