When doing a search for products there are more and more scammers out there. I almost was going to order from Bonanza but decided to check their reviews, thank goodness I did! How can a business receive so many poor reviews and still have an online site? I don't get it... Thank you all reviewers, I am so grateful for freedom of speech! I will look elsewhere for what I need even though they offered it a few dollars cheaper. It isn't worth the aggravation of not receiving the product and having to dispute it through the credit card company. I will order from a known and reliable source.
We love Bonanza and have made so many friends there. The site is easy to use, listings are free as are booth banners or you may crate your own. It interfaces with eBay, Etsy, Amazon Shopify, and you can upload/download your inventory file. Tech is amazing and always so helpful. Highly recommended.
So if you're on a public forum for a review 90% of the time you've got an axe to grind. This review is different. Bonanza delivered as expected 4 years ago. I bought a Classic Accessory Boat cover with a 5 year warranty. In the TX sun, nothing last 5 years. Classic made good on their 5 year warranty. Now if you look close enough at the two web sites, it seems Classic and Bonanza seem VERY similar. When my new, warranty claim boat cover deteriorates in 4 years, I'll be back.
I have been listing items for sale on Ebay for over 20 years, and very rarely had any issue with their format. I left Ebay as a seller due to their ever increasing and imposing ridiculous rules, like holding my payment for three weeks until buyer approves of item received, even though my rating was 100%. NOBODY holds my payment for three weeks. I signed up for Bananza.com, and it has been a listing nightmare. Their webmaster is either a moron or from another planet, because their format for selling is absurdly disorganized and most confusing. Responses from their support team were even more confusing, and no help at all. Today, after weeks of trying to list an item, I threw in the towel. Perhaps you will have better luck, but I have no more time to waste with them.
First, if you are contemplating using Bonanza, don't! I went on their site to buy a power miter saw because they were $40. Cheaper than Amazon. Well, Bonanza tells me they have no record of my transaction. The merchant does not respond to my messages. I have opened a dispute with PayPal.
I love the selection, so many choices and price ranges. Ordering was easy, delivery was excellent. Because I have not had any issues yet, I cannot comment on that aspect of customer service.
What I can say is, so far really great and thank you for this site!
I have looked at the website a few times and finally made my first purchase. AS SOON AS my order confirmation showed up in my email, I get another one from Bonanza telling me that the seller has been removed and to file a claim through my method of payment. They just waited for a purchase to be made to remove the seller? And offer no help, just go file a claim with someone else? Truly unbelievable. This website does not offer enough protection to buyers, yet is a very welcoming place for scammers. I can't believe it is still around.
Not secure place to buy. Would loose your money and time. Bought the bracelet from USA to UK the seller sent me completely different item. No refund, nothing. When I asked why he sent my wrong item he responded that other one was finished... but on his website still was picture with those what I was ordered and was marked as available. Its means he would cheat with the next customer who would order this item "which is finished ".
I ordered for 79.00 the complete set of 6 seasons Downton Abby. Season #5 would not play at all. I notified 5 times and was finally told by their "happiness person " (no joke) in an email that, Listen to this, I had to notify them again. They have obviously no control over their sellers. Had to go to Best Buy and but another season 5 again. DO NOT USE

I would not trust this site for one, if you are not a big company forget it. They run off old beta which takes weeks for your item to actually hit outside sites. Also I owed them like $9 cause I stopped using for a while, they charged me a $25 fee for reinstatement, I paid it and they never reinstated it in which they were supposed to give me the $25 back if they decided to not reinstate me. I emailed them like 20 times asking for my money back which has been almost a year now w no response or refund. Sellers beware
We are power sellers on ebay, moved our 3000 items over to Bonanza last week. 6 sales so far (in 3 days). We of course are not doing near the volume we do on ebay, but we are very excited for another outlet to sell our items. The site is young, as was ebay when we started with them many, many years ago...
Please read the reviews with a grain of salt. To the seller who complained about a bad buyer... why in the heck are you selling empty boxes? You get out of it what you put into it.
Since Ioffer is pretty done and banned by Google. The Chinese counterfeiters have a new place to go and sell with no problem. Bonanza is full of counterfeit DVDs, Clothes, and ect. Legit sellers won't able to make a sell because the same legit item you try to sell is already on the site for 90% off the retail value because it's fake. Also for some reason they quickly to approved a counterfeiter items than a legit seller. I guess they want to make money! Soon or later, they will be like ioffer if they don't clean up the site.

When I tried to set up a selling account. Bonanza would not accept my card number. The card I use with ebay and everywhere else. When I wrote an email to Bonanza about this they were supposed to reply in 24 hours. It has now been 2 days. A very bad start for me. Now I have many doubts about this site and how they do business. Good reviews can be bought.

I bought a 20' floor fan, the serious kind, for a fraction of what I've put for similar fans and free prompt shipping. I was a little leery - you know, "if it seems too good.?" Fan is better & higher quality than I've experienced, definitely industrial grade and I'm totally satisfied. I'm getting a second one, as it is essentially less than half price. (be cool!)
Take most of these 1-star reviews with a grain of salt. It depends on how you use Bonanza, the platform is well designed, clean and intuitive.
3 Star for now.
Expect to use the platform to run your ad campaigns and google shopping.
Start out free to get to know the system.
So many of the reviews are just not at all what I have experienced.

This company is terrible. I was charged but never received the product. I left messages, phone and email and have had no response. I am now going to my credit card company and paypal to see if they can help me. The company Triton Media has been taken off the Bonanza site. Looks like I'm out 112.00.

We operated 2 stores with 100% feed back and 100s of transactions. All of the sudden they closed our booths saying its a high risk. I operate Multiple stores on ebay and amazon with top rated seller everywhere, 3 employees and a warehouse. $380,000 yearly paypal transactions. These people know nothing about communication or being professional. They do not answer our emails since, like we never existed. Do not waste your labor and effort building anything on bonanza, its a waste of time and effort.

Tried to cancel an order the day after it was placed. Emailed seller and Bonanza no response from either. Three days later received confirmation that the item was shipped. Will never shop with Bonanza again... lets see if the item turns up and what state it is in when it arrives. Lost all trust in this process.
Extremely satisfied with Bonanza.com. Receive fast responses to questions and immediate assistance. Fast and free shipping options and priority mailing. Item is shipped within the same day to next business day depending on timing. Products are of high standards and I have NEVER had an issue when using Bonanza.com, which I have been using regularly for over two years now.
Love Love this company. I accidentally came across this website one day and I haven't quit looking at it since. My first purchase was beyond my expectations. The items were gorgeous and extremely well made. Now I'm trying to find stuff to buy just so I can get excited when I come home and see the box sitting there lol.
Hi Holly H., thank you for your review. We're happy to hear that and look forward to seeing you on Bonanza again soon!

Answer: Not fake but not a good site to do business
Answer: Ebay. I always get great customer service from ebay... as a seller. Bonanza provides no customer service; if you have an issue, they just keep sending the same "canned" response over and over... and I had one sale on Bonanza for which they charged me a 17% fee... then they took $25 more out of my bank account... I have addressed both of these issues with Bonanza... Regarding the huge 17% fee... they sent me about seven (7) of the same "canned" response. I wanted a lesser % fee since their website claims they always charge the "lowest fee possible"... just one "canned" response after another... If they would have offered a more reasonable % fee in order to provide me with satisfactory customer service. I would have been satisfied; but they did not... after the seventh "canned" response... I closed my booth... And NOW... EVEN WORSE... they took an additional $25.00 out of my bank account... and for what I have no idea. I called the phone number which was listed with the transaction on my bank account and of course got a recording. I left my information, and it has been four days... and still no response. When you call ebay, you speak to a live person who works to solve your concerns... I HATE BONANZA... and you would think that BONANZA would not want RIDICULOUSLY UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS... but they do not care. I moved all my ebay items to Bonanza to see if it was a better experience than ebay... ebay's fees are 10%... and they have a much larger shopping audience... and they have real customer service people that you can talk to. Bonanza has a much smaller shopping audience, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL, and their goal appears to be to charge sellers the most enormous fees that they can get away with. I never get online to post negative reviews... I generally get online to post about great customer service and great products... I like to keep things on the POSITIVE... but this is just not possible with BONANZA... they are like a Phantom Selling Platform... totally disgusted. I will be reporting BONANZA to the BBB and to the US Attorney General's Office. Very disappointing experience.
Answer: Sellers can create and offer coupons with zero limitations ("Sell on Bonanza > Edit booth options > Discounts & Coupons").
Answer: I set up my account with Bonanza and their platform is pretty much the same as setting up an account with eBay, Etsy, Amazon, etc. What problems are you having?
Answer: I have never seen any benefit to paying extra for advertising. Bonanza just doesnt do it like ebay does. Have you ever seen a Bonanza ad on TV? Nope. And therein lies the problem. Nobody will shop there if they havent heard of it. True many sellers are leaving ebay (or sadly being kicked off by the BS) but nearly everyone goes to Bonanza to SELL not to buy.
Answer: Yes and the answer be sure if ya are absent minded of being taken advantage of..
