“Horrible company!”

This is probably the shadiest companies I have ever used! Fair warning selling on this site or buying for that matter. Look at all their reviews on here, BBB, etc. Speaks volumes on how they are as a company.

Buyer beware - bonanza allows dishonest sellers to peddle their wares on their site. We bought a Tumi suitcase from a seller who changed names three times during the process (from Luggage4Less to Luggage Emporium to Luggage Leader). We were unable to find a way to reach the seller to initiate a return, and are now stuck with a $500+ suitcase that is way too small. We tried to get a return through bonanza and google and more -- and got stuck at the seller saying "we have a 5 day return policy." Nevermind that the seller made it impossible to identify them, let alone initiate a return within 5 days! The people at bonanza were polite, but ultimately did nothing and continue to allow this unethical seller to peddle on their site. This was a good learning experience about purchasing carefully ion the internet.

Do not sell on this site. We are Ebay power sellers and we sell on Etsy. We opened a store in 2010 on Bonanza. Recently we sold an item on Bonanza. The buyer did not read the description and was not happy her item was mostly empty although it said mostly empty in the description. We explained to the buyer that they purchased an empty tin and asked them to go back and read the description. The buyer came back with very offensive language using the "F" word among other choice words. We sent a message to customer service and got this message. We are sorry you had a bad experience maybe the person had a bad day we will watch them. This was not okay so we closed our Bonanza store.

This site is ridiculous. Ordered a sweater through this website over a month ago now. A week went by and still no sweater. So I emailed them (there is no phone number to call, first red flag) and asked for tracking info. No reply. Emailed again. A week later I get a reply saying that my order will be shipped no later than tomorrow. Here I am a month later with no sweater, and no tracking info.

When we run out the chips we bought through Bonanza I'll be ordering again. I bought potato chips we used to love to eat when we visited Spain. They're unavailable in the U.S. I found Bonanza by accident. It was definitely a happy accident.

Searched the net for a hard to find product. Found it on bonanza.com. The item I purchased on 1/17/2020 has never shipped. Seller appeared to be "onlinedeal805" but my PayPal account shows the seller as "soelectronics". Bottom line, I have been emailing back & forth with Bonanza and PayPal regarding payment for non-shipment of purchase. I am now in the process of filing a claim with PayPal.

I was not impressed with this company's e-book. If you are going to sell an ebook. Please be sure you can read it and highlight it. Not just complying a book and turn around and sell it. I will not be using this company and its fraudulent books.

Six months ago, my partner was having problems maintaining an erection. We tried both Viagra and Cialis but the results were disappointing. I purchased a pill of FX 7000 at the local gas station and the results were amazing. My partner maintained an erection for 5 days with just one pill. I went online and purchased 20 pills from Bonanza.com,
I have been buying FX 7000 pills from Bonanza.com for six months now. The product delivers everything it says! The product is delivered in a timely manner every time. They offer excellent tracking information. It is easy to buy products online and they have excellent customer service. I have recommended some of my friends to purchase this product and they have been equally satisfied.

Please wait a million years. Maybe us A+ robots will get our act together by then. Until then, do not bother to call. You won't find a phone number anyway. But if you are very persistent and send us a computer request, we will have to comply. But we do not have to pick up our end of the line and answer. We are A+ according to the BBB, but that doesn't really mean anything. We bought that rating.

At best, a very incompetent company making use of a system to use unvetted agents who often rip off your money. They wash their hands of transactions. Had to dispute a merchandise charge after long waiting for no communication and no merchandise shipment. STAY FAR AWAY!!!!

Thumbnail of user markd57
Jackson B. – Bonanza Rep

Hi Michael M., we're sorry to hear about the negative experience. We understand how that would be frustrating! Bonanza expects sellers to be responsible and communicative regarding buyers' orders, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Bonanza is a marketplace that connects buyers to transact directly with individual sellers. Bonanza does not process any inventory, payments or shipping itself. Instead, buyers pay sellers directly using a secure payment processor, like PayPal or Amazon Pay, and then the seller ships direct to the buyer.

In a situation where you have not received your order and have not been able to reach a resolution with the seller, the next step is to contact the payment processor you used to pay the seller directly, to file a dispute for a refund.

Our support team will be glad to assist with the resolution process. Please send an email directly to support@bonanza.com. If you're already tried to contact our support team via external email but haven't received a reply, please DM us here with your external email address and we'll be glad to help connect you.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, Michael. We appreciate you shopping on Bonanza!

From the beginning of my communication I was impressed with Bonanza customer service. I was asking for a woman's jacket to be cut for a man. They were MOST accommodating to every thing I was asking for and their communication was effortless and very timely. I was pretty astounded. They are a great company to work with.

I made a PayPal payment of $37 to a merchant on Bonanza and never received the product. Merchant doesn't reply, Bonanza says I must get the refund from them, they do not assume any responsibility for their Sellers.

This is much better than feebay as far as tools and getting to them. Unlike feebay there is no hidden fees and customer service is good. This is a pretty new company but it looks like they would be fair to their sellers unlike feebay. You can describe items to the T on feebay but if a customer buys it without reading the details it is still the sellers fault because some idiot couldn't take time to check the details completely. Nothing more frustrating than trying to get a problem solved when the person on the other end cant speak a lick of English.

Tip for consumers:
Do what it takes to get your site going on here. If your an ebay seller also, get out because they WILL through you under the bus eventually.

I never write reviews, but this site is TERRIBLE! Complete waste of time and money. Seller scammed me out of iPhone case, no response from Bonanza, and way seller setup delivery time made transaction dispute with Paypal not possible. People that run and own sites like this with no accountability are scum.

First of all the quality of their items are cheap and flimsy. Second, the customer service sucks. I won't buy anything from Bonanza again. If you want to be replied to respectfully as a customer, I recommend you don't buy from them either, unless you want to be disappointed.

Ordered front license plates for my car in Delaware. The vendor I contacted, PhotoZoneGA, was careful to get the job done correctly, communicated carefully with me to get exactly what I wanted, followed up immediately, and I got my plates in a matter of days. Pricing was right for what I wanted. Check them out on the Bonanza site if you are in the market for "vanity plates" among other things.

I purchased software from a vendor on Bonanza. Shortly after paying through PayPal, I get an email from Bonanza support, it informs me that I have made a purchase from a fraudulent vendor. I am told that they have removed this vendor from the site due to past frraudelent sales. Bonanza would not refund my money, instead told me to get with PayPal to get a refund. Open a dispute resolution. I feel the site owners should stand behind who they allow to sell on their site is all.

As a kicker to the story, I got back on Bonanza and was able to add this sellers fraudulent item right back into my cart. I was told that they had removed this seller form their site.
Just saying, with this kind of coincidental fraud and passing the buck, one could conclude that Bonanza is actually the one committing the fraudulent sale. I therefor no longer trust this site. Whether you are comfortable doing business is your decision, a review is after all all just a review of one customers experience..

What more is there to say? I appreciate that I can easily upload all of my ebay listings for free, and that it is free to list which is the only reason why I still have an account at all. But they don't offer much else. I understand they're going to offer more perks to those sellers who pay. However I feel like they could do better for their free sellers in order to at least *entice* them to upgrade. Otherwise why would they? Until Bonanza figures out a better marketing strategy for ALL of their sellers I will stick with other marketplaces. Free is great but you get what you pay for.

You can find just about anything here at a very reasonable price. I can spend hours going from item to item to find "just" the right one. Or more, in my case: An 1857 Flying Eagle Cent, A Practical Magic Signed Picture of Nicole Kidman & Sandra Bullock and An Autographed Photo of Penelope Cruz. Each was bought from a different vendor and delivery time was still less than a week. Go there and experience this yourself.

Rip off. The seller cancelled my order and repriced all of the units at a price 78% higher than the original price! And Bonanza has no telephone number to call for issues such as this. This was my first and last time using Bonanza.

Please see below the response I got to my last email asking them why the goods had not arrived or been shipped in the time frame quoted. I asked them not to send the goods as I had sourced them elsewhere. They still sent them, a full week after I told them not to and the below is the response to my email telling them not to ship. The below is the response I got. I have not edited it at all:
