“Horrible company!”

Jennifer B.
8/9/24

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.

I've had success at selling items on Bonanza. I am fed up with ebay. Selling items there are at too high a cost. Bonanza is simple and honest.

Send an email and wait weeks for response without answers. Horrible customer service and no answers. No phone support either. A VERY bad investment!

A de-cluttered and more "personal" ebay? Maybe. It sort of borrows from Etsy and Ebay in unequal parts. But basically it's another list your item to sell where you can list almost as many items that belong in categories as Ebay (terrible sentence). There are many attractive upsides to Bonanza over Ebay: free listings (4 pictures included - although Ebay now allows 50 free listings per month), the final fee is less than Ebay by a bit (their fees page explains exactly by how much), your products are distributed via google and bing so they show up in searches, you can import listings from Ebay and Etsy as well as feedback so the transfer is minimal hassle and many other minor "perks". One thing I find slightly creepy is that they show a google map of where you are on your "booth". I prefer buyers only know my address when they WIN an item, not when they look at what I'm selling. Especially if you're just selling excess personal items like shoes, handbags and clothing and aren't a wholesaler with a generic main street address.

I've listed an item both on Bonanza and Ebay and it definitely sold a lot faster on Ebay than on Bonanza despite its search engine pandering. In fact, when I neglected to remove the listing from Bonanza and someone bought it months later, I had NO idea how to cancel the listing on Bonanza. I refunded them via PayPal but after clicking (because I think their layout is not intuitive and kind of messy) around for a few minutes I gave up and contacted their customer service, which were helpful and resolved my problem.

At this point, I'm not really sure what the point of this site is other than maybe being a bit more useful if you know how to utilize its features and fewer fees (but doesn't matter if no one's buying your things). Etsy is still far superior in terms of having more variety if you're looking for handmade. Apparently though if you're in the market for selling 1K+ Chanel bags, Bonanza has a bags section just for that purpose.

I sold on Ebay for a year, did not like their policies, protecting buyers, not protecting sellers, high fees, all phone calls sellers make for help are routed to the Phillipines, allowing crazy buyers to post anything in a poor review, allowing sellers about 12 WORDS to respond..., really, etc. So, I exported everything to Bonanza 3 months ago and also set up an Etsy shop. I had to do Bonanza because lots of my stuff is too new for Etsy... has to be vintage... pre 1998.

Etsy has been wonderful..., nowhere near the $2-3,000 per month. Volume I did on Ebay, but customers will pay what an item is worth, about 2-3x as much as Ebay buyers, and they do not bug you AT ALL. So far, $900 in 2 months... that is o. K.
BONANZA IS TERRIBLE. I joined, platinum or titanium membership... not sure...$200 per month because that offerred phone support. Guess What? No phones ANYWHERE... not even overseas. Guess what Else? SEVEN SALES totalling about $150 in 3 months and I have paid about $600 for absolutely NOTHING. I am closing my store and going to sell only on Etsy. All new stuff being donated.
Thank God, I am retired and have a pension... this is extra income... and now it is ENJOYABLE. Some are without another income and at the mercy of Ebay... or worse yet, Bonanza.

Yes, BONANZA IS A JOKE. A SCAM. A FAKE STOREFRONT. RUN!

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THESE SCAM ARTISTS ARE NOT IN JAIL... WHEREVER THEY ARE
