Bonanzle Rising to eBay Competition

Attracting Fleeing eBayers Upset with Policy Changes

134 Comments

great shopping site

www.feverbid.com is a better site... just launched

I was a Bonanzle cheerleader...

Until i got taken for $100 from an unscrupulous seller. I will still sell there, but buy anything??? NO WAY!!! Say what you want about eBay, but what happened on Bonanzle to me would NEVER be tolerated on Ebay. That seller has my stuff and my money and I am SOL.

Bonanzle

I fail to see where Bonanzle are any other alternative is making any impact at all. Most of the traffic is directly from its own members, not just bonanzle all of them. You are better off opening your own website so you can control your own seo, sure they can get the buyer to the frontpage but that's it. They can't get them to the storefront. And if anything I have seen Ebay listings increasing regardless of what the pundits say, also none of these alternative can even come close to Amazon forget Ebay, what about Amazon. All these write ups praising this alternative and others shows me they are not marketing experts, just writers with an opinion. Until these market places give more control to sellers with their storefronts, they will all just be an insignificant part of the greater market.

Interesting. I haven't used

Interesting. I haven't used ebay in years for many of the reasons stated here.

EBAY HAS TURNED EVIL ON ITS

EBAY HAS TURNED EVIL ON ITS SELLERS. EBAY WAS GREAT 5-10 YEARS AGO, NOW ITS THE NAZI GERMANY OF AUCTIONS SITES. SUSPENSIONS FOR ITS SELLERS AT ANYTIME,FOR ANY REASON, WITHOUT LOGICAL EXPLANATION. ALL THE GOOD STUFF, AND SELLERS HAVE LEFT, BEEN SUSPENDED, OR ARE CURRENTLY LEAVING EBAY. IF I HAD STOCK IN EBAY, I WOULD HAVE SOLD IT LONG AGO.

Ebay alternatives

Hello

Lately I've been seing a lot of alternative to eBay sites. The one that realy was an eye catcher for me is called www.jaxbids.com It is very difficult to lift a brand new site of the ground, nut these guys are realy doing a good job doing it. Prety good for a site that is new. I hear a lot of talk about it, and even though they are fairly new, I've been monitoring their progress and i do see that a lot of people are registering. Not sure if these people are sellers of buyers but they seem to like it, maybe because its free.

Future = Jaxbids.com

Way to go guys, and award winning alternative. Keep up the good job. I love it. :)

Look good, hope more people

Look good, hope more people will start using it, had a few questions and got my response right away. Just registered myself and starting to list items. Very excited.

the longevity of ebay

well it does seem that bonanzle is gaining foothold..these days the edge is the social aspect which it seemed as though ebay had at one point but has fizzled. Need the great eBay solution to revive the biggest online marketplace.

Ebay competitors: A new community, an old idea

When I think Ebay I often think of auctions were bidders are at war and prices are inflated. Sellers win, buyers lose. I think this is were the solution could be found.

Here's an idea that looks promising and different: Pricefalls.com . It uses an old concept of dutch tulip merchants where prices are constantly declining and buyers basically choose a price that best suits them personally. This is a definitely a different theme, one that is genuinely different from Ebay.

I think that in order to compete with Ebay, one must offer a new concept.

Bonanzle - Show em' some love or they'll ax your account

I joined Bonanzle several months ago and agree - the forums and people there are very rude. I am from the U.S. and saw how members slam buyers/sellers from other countries in the forums. In fact, most people are rude to anyone new. I shut down after 2 months. I couldn't take the constant harassment.

Unregistered people are allowed to buy which causes a whole set of other problems. And I've read about the scams going on at Bonanzle in the forums. If you are lucky enough you can catch a post or two about all the scamming and underhandness of their loyal cheerleading section - if you are fast enough. They delete those threads pronto. They delete any post or thread that does not show them as the shining star they think they are. READ THE BONANZLES RULES AND YOU'LL SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO VOICE ANYTHING BUT LOVE FOR THEM OR YOU WILL BE HISTORY. No suggesting how they might do things differently to improve. No saying how you received a rude bmail and would like harassment to stop. No saying that you were dogged out in a forum by other members. If you can't show the love you're not allowed to say anything. If you have an opinion that doesn't match the other posts or the site owners you are closed down and locked out.

Never had these kinds of problems on Ecrater.

great site

www.Tgosell.com site has no auction listing fee.

I cannot even look at your

I cannot even look at your site.It is like a candy shop full of green and red colours.Please change your website colors to some goog ones so that somebody will atleast look at it.Great ebay alternative ?.You must be joking?.Right?

sell online free

thanks

disapointed in Bonanzle

well i signed up for bonanzle a few months ago only had 6 sales sence there the people on the forums are rude and if you are not a payed member then your opinion about anything does not matter. all your listings are linked to amazon so your potential buyers are getting linked there and taken away from your listing. You can only have that removed if you are a paid member. I would not mind paying a company if they advertised. there are no real buyers there as of yet so i dont see the benefit of paying a monthly fee. Your not allowed to make mistakes on the forum or they will criticize you.

Bonanzle 'not' an ebay alternative

The owner of Bonanzle put much thought, and work into the site. Bonanzle is user friendly, with very low fees. Loved it!... However I left.

The ‘majority’ of sellers on Bonanzle will not ship/buy outside of the US. Just try and make a purchase. You get a one liner back in response “I don’t ship to Canada’. As a seller, of course, this is their choice. But I soon realized that this was a site more for US based buyers/sellers, as apposed to international buyers/sellers. What disturbed me the most were the openly posted insults in regards to other countries/or sites posted in their forums.

I'm from Canada, and want to be no part of a site that found it okay to bash others openly, deliberately trying to make them feel uncomfortable. Some members deliberately made shipping comments to put fear in those in order to prevent cross border shipping. Examples of statements members have made about my country alone are:

“I do ship to Canada, but (and I don’t mean to offend you) they have always been my most difficult, demanding, and often rude customers.”

“I am not always thrilled when I see the sold notice arrive with a Canadian Address.”

“I, for one, do not ship outside of the lower 48 states and it is clearly stated in all of my listings. I did originally but lost, damaged and stolen goods became the norm and Canada was the worst.”

Ummm… no, I won’t be back to buy, or sell.

Very unprofessional in my opinion, and if it continues, the professional sellers who do sell on Bonanzle worldwide will be greatly affected.

In a nutshell, if you’re a US citizen it’s a great place. If not, your wasting your time trying to sell, or buy there. The difference between ebay and Bonanzle… ebay doesn’t discriminate. I never had a problem buying, or selling internationally on ebay.

I understand BUT

I understand what you are saying but you need to understand what sellers are going thru when it comes to selling out of the U.S. First many sellers have their products shipped from a warehouse or manufacture. They set the guidelines for who we can ship to. If you are not under those guidelines, then if you do ship out of U.S., you have no legal support to retrieve your items our money. With scammers all over the world that seem to be all over the internet, it is hard for a seller to know if the sale is legit or not. By the time a seller finds out if the purchase was done with a stole card, you've already shipped the product. It sometimes takes over 30 days before you ever know this information. So, sellers are very leary of seller to someone in a country that they can't get any legal satifaction from. I know in my store, it depends on what product and what manufacture is shipping. Most of my products don't ship out of U.S. but I do have some. The cost is another issue for many sellers.
