Nearly 700 items on bonanza, last sale was in february!

I have been on Bonanza for a very long time. Typically I don’t get more than a dozen sales/year, at best. I have always had anywhere between 650-900+ items in my booth. I have not made a sale since February of this year!! What am I doing wrong??
Thank you in advance for any input.
Kathi :)

maybe some advertising, very very slow for everyone I think

I dont think its advertising, I have been selling on another site (not ebay) and i have been getting a ton of sales. So I really think something is wrong here, i dont know why this site is not making any sales.

Same here. While not as many items as you, not had a sale here for 5 months yet had a great amount of sales on the “Dark Side” auction site in that timeframe. As far as advertising, I direct each of my dark side sales here but no takers. I do the 9 pct here So sad

I would revamp the titles on your existing items and add new items in a larger variety than what you like the most. Here’s an [URL removed]

Hi Kathi,
Thanks for posting to our community help center. We took a look at your booth. Your items are being advertised on Google Shopping, you can see them [URL removed]

You want to be sure to have item traits filled out. We saw the Silver watch on your first page has every trait filled out, but the wonderfully funky green blouse does not have any filled out. To check your item traits, go to Selling>Batch Edit Items and click on Item Traits. Select all your items and click on Edit traits for all filtered items. Be sure to save changes at the bottom of every page.

We hope this helps. If you ever need personal assistance feel free to contact us by pointing to Help at the top of the page and clicking on Contact Support.

Happy Bonanzling!

I think what farfan meant is that your titles need to be re-done. Many start with the word “vintage” rather than with the name of the article for sale, as “teapot.” Maybe someone will come along with the link to google requirements. (I don’t know it.) Best wishes! You have many very nice things in your booth. :)

Just the first thing I notice is that your items probably don’t show in Google Shopping, where most if not all sales are made when having a booth on this site. Bonanza is TERRIBLE for direct sales. They don’t care about Sellers having direct sales… very sad. Maybe your items would sell better in another venue.
