I think it is great that Bonanzle has received some funding. Bonanzle has it’s own “Culture” to it. They do things a little different in such that you feel like a small community. I feel that my sellers are my neighbors, not so much my competitors.

Ebay has dominated the auction market front with others soon to follow. Like many others I also am tired of all the fees. I do understand that SEO and advertising is quite costly, but the seller’s profit is going out the door with all their overhead.

The changes that ebay are making are making things look hopeful, but I will always still post items on Bonanzle, Ecrater, and Blujay! I just cannot risk having everything tied up in ebay!

I am very happy to see that Bonanzle is moving up and onward as there are several added features that it could use!!

This had to be a “no-brainer” for investors. Presented with something that actually works, is loved by its customers, is a financial success and is growing at a viral rate, how could they NOT want to provide the backing? A Bonanzle that scoots along under its own power is impressive enough; but a Bonanzle with big financial resources? Formidable will be an under-statement. And where’s the money going? In exactly the right place: hiring more talented people to take Bonz to the next level. I’ve said it elsewhere but it bears repeating here: black arm bands should be BIG at Ebay right now.

I have over 1000 items for sale on Bonanzle that I pulled out of my FEEbay store,it took a couple of months for my Bonanzle booth to get sales but now it keeps picking up every month,and the fees are great,well worth the change even if the traffic is not as great,the Google feeds really help.

I have tried ecrater and ebid and had pretty good sales on both.I registered on bonanazle but just haven’t got round to listing there yet.maybe its time to give it a try.

I sure hope Bonanzle succeeds. I hate ebay with a purple passion.

I’ve been on Bonanzle for about a year now, and it is the Best experience,
has the best Community, and the buying and selling experience Rocks!

The Support could not be better. so many Helpful folks!
Genuine, kind, and helpful is the experience that many
experience here. The Owners, Active, warm, joyful and always ready to assist you
if needed. I would say for e-bayer’s, No insertion fees!
and Yes were a live chat community (part of the majick) and
its good to introduce yourself, and post. Get You out there!
we see the items but we buy from you.

Bonanzle is a place unlike no other. Bonanzle has helped Many folks
sell their wares, allows people to help each other, and its a place of warmth and friendships.
and Yes, Sellers & buyers.

I credit Bonanzle & my sells on Bonanzle for helping me open up my Shop.
How many can say that about their selling venue~

Auctions? sort of out to thought on that as many of us at Bonanzle hold our own. LIVE
as this allows both the seller and the buyer to On the Spot Negotiate. You see the results Fast and friendly.

How many can say That!

Kudos to the owners for creating a wonderful place that so many have come to~

Have had booth open for about 9 months. Not a lot of sales yet. Service is good cost is low. I will be adding more items.

Comparing ebay and aol… LOL

Sorry, for some reason that just made me LOL!

I opened a Bonanzle storefront 15 months ago. In that time the only sales I made were with customers who found their way to bonanzle via my web page link. Bonanzle versus eBay then eBay wins hands down. But, in reality I’ve made my own web site viable with ecommerce using Paypal “Buy Now” buttons and this is the only way to go.
On another front, the folks at bonanzle treat your information as their own. After a minor transgression they removed all of my listings without a by you leave or any notification to me whatsoever; they’ll do it to you too and in their words anyone associated with you in any way whatsoever.
I put a huge amount of effort into my Bonanzle store, hundreds of hours. They are unmerciful. Dont fall afoul of their management, they’ll can you without a qualm.
In short using a tried and tested phrase sums them up, Buyer beware !

Have been on Bonanzle for two years and sales are really picking up. It’s the best alternative so far. Auctions are really needed for those of us selling antiques & collectibles, and I hope that they add them once the site is better known.

I am a seller at Bonanzle. After reading the comments posted above I have to say that while sales are slow, they do happen.

The internet is FULL to bursting with on line selling and on line selling sites. It’s very difficult to make a livable wage from on line selling right now with so much competition. People that are new to on line selling or have been selling on EBay and are now venturing out to places like Bonanzle really have NO idea how much work it entails to get customers to their stores and get sales. personally I am of the firm belief that some of the above negative comments were probably generated by those sellers that don’t have a clue about how much work it does entail to sell on line.

Plus, people need to take into account the fact that the economy is not in the best shape. People are still losing jobs and homes. Tax time is on us as well as the arrival of the time of the year that families that can afford it, are saving up for the yearly family vacation. All those things affect sales, especially if you are a seller that sells things that these seasonable changes affect.

Bonanzle is committed to building and maintaining a high level of customer and seller service. I’ve sold on line at several sites since leaving EBay and I have to say that over all Bonanzle has the higher level of quality features. Their customer service is the fastest responding one that I have ever seen and that’s saying a lot for such a young site that has grown so fast.

I really hope that they will use some of that investment money and do some targeted advertising for the site. Sellers can only do so much in advertising the site and their stores.

With all the support that Bonanzle has gotten, it’s time for them to “pay back” some of that effort the sellers have been putting out, and get some major advertising going to further the growth of the site. A small television ad campaign for a short time would go a long ways to turning the site into a household name

I’ve invested tons of time listing stuff because I believe this selling venue has potential no other site has.

I am a seller, and yes, most sales come through Google search.

The vision Bill had when creating this site is phenomenally genius. Yet I’m sure he won’t rest on his laurels, and his team will continually improve the site.

However, as a buyer, I was sadly disappointed when a dispute was not handled properly.

Selling is free, so what the the heck. But I won’t be buying there until their new dispute resolution center gets going.
