listing and waiting will not get sales…buyers go to ebay/amazon to look for items…buyers come here because they could not find what they wanted elsewhere or did comparison shopping using google shopping or search engines..
A week is barely enough time for your listings to work their way up to the top of search results..
As A2 says…google compliance is important…ensuring your items are in google shopping, good key words, titles and descriptions to be picked up by search engines..
Bonz can work for sellers but it is not a “go to” place…so you will have to bring your buyers to you…
Set up a FB business page and use the Bonanza store app that will list your items on FB
Set up other social media (twittler, pinterest, etc) these will give other opportunities to have links back to your bonz booth..and the more good links back to your items the better your items place in search rankings…
All this take time…to build a reputation..
Good luck

Are you sending your items to google shopping or opted in for any other advertising All caps can interfere with searches and is very hard to read. Are your items compliant with other advertising sites? Have you done any self promoting? Please drop the all caps! All caps is considered promotional, but not when you cap all the words. Its like using a high lighter and high light everything, then nothing stands out.

As everyone has stated, with Bonanza you have got to really self promote. I get about 5-10 sales a month, the past 2 months have been very good for me. However, I am putting up new items daily, promoting thru various Social Media, selling on various other sites etc. There ae also a few very nice people on here that help with promotion for a very small fee. I am extremely happy with Inspired Creations but of course there are others. If you are used to that other site where the traffic is just there and you do not want to put the time in, this site will not work for you.

A week is a very short period of time to judge a venue. When you’ve weathered a year, covering all seasons and holidays, then you’ll have a better idea if a selling site is viable for you, in my opinion.
