LOL. Yeah you guys!!!

Has anyone had success importing ebay listings and having that help get the eBay listings into google shopping results? I have heard a few people recommending this tactic but no one has really showed that it brings that type of result.

I think it does not hurt to sell in Bonanzle, more places to sell more money will make.

I joined Bonanzle a couple months ago and it is a very nice selling site. I have not sold 1 thing but I also haven't put a lot of time into it. People that expect to list and sell immediately on smaller sites are just delusional IMHO. Bonanzle has an active community and it you spend time looking into their deals and integrating their "yard sale" and other highlighting features you can def get some eyeballs.

Ebay is a giant marketplace but it's crushing the life out of sellers. The stress and anxiety I went through over them is just not worth the sales for me. I was with eb and pp since they started and after over 10 years with 99.99% positives they crushed me like a bug over a crooked buyer with 0 feedback and a 2 month old account.

LOL! forgive the screed. Back to the point

One seller I saw that really impressed me had shops on every single free marketplace you can imagine. Bonanzle, iOffer, almost a dozen in total. 3 or 4 Web shops and all the social links. He had all of them linked in his signatures in forums and in sellers forums in the marketplaces. Lists all of them in ads on networks like Craigs, 3StepAds and Backpage. That's the way you use sites like Bonanzle: make it part of a larger effort. Don't look to replace 1 huge eBay effort with 1 huge other because there IS NO single other that comes close.

I just browsed a seller with over 300 listings, and they got 2 feedbacks for the life of the account... GARBAGE!

pod · #31 10-02-2010

I don't think any site on the planet is worth the effort but the big 2

You could get more traffic and sales off craigslist then all the other so called "growing" sites. Just no point IMO. I tried a couple and 6 weeks later nothing....

Better or as good as a properly setup standalone web site shop? I only ask because I have never been directed to an ecrater store before [that I know of] But in all fairness I know nothing about them. Are they sort of a fill in the blanks shopping cart?

I don't think you get it, Bonanza buyers are not buying feedback. About 80% of my Bonanza buyers come from Google direct to the item page, pay for the item and leave, never to be seen or heard from again. They do not leave feedback. The vast majority who do leave FB are other sellers.

My eBay buyers came back again and again and were very FB oriented.

If feedback is so important to you then you should probably stick with eBay.

Gladiator · #35 10-10-2010

Henrietta - how is your turn over rate from Google? I've been debating about joining and putting up some of my older items. I don't want to waste several days getting it built to find out it takes an unusually long time to get into google shopping results and the like.

deebee · #36 10-18-2010

How depressing to read this...it looks like Bonanza is the same crap as ebay! I haven't experienced this..but now I'm afraid to list on there anymore. I think I'm just FINISHED with selling online..other than craigslist...and I'm going to finish college! WAY LESS STRESS.

holymoly · #37 10-24-2010

I'll check it out...but who knows really. (specially with a NEWBIE saying this)

fedupwithebay · #38 10-25-2010

holymoly..... should it really matter if a newbie says it or an old timer !?... makes no difference to their selling power whether they have just joined here and are new or not ?!..... a newbie could well be one of the biggest power sellers and successful business-person ever known... you can't judge by newbie/junior / old timer status !!!!!

Keep an open mind on everything my friend and you should go far in life

I have been wanting to respond for some time. But, just too busy. I joined Bonanzle in February because the fees on Ebay were just insane. Since then, I have completely left Ebay because my sales from Bonanzle has blown past what I was selling on Ebay. Since then, I have been able to pay off $5,000 in debt, while still supporting the household. I really don't understand what everyone's problem is. If anyone expects to park their goods on Bonanzle and sit back and wait, they will be sadly disappointed. Before I left Ebay, I promoted my Bonanzle site everywhere!

I think the biggest problem with those who are against Bonanzle here - you need Ebay - it is your drug. And even while you complain, you will never leave it. Good luck to you! I got suspended a few years back. So, I am not a newbie. I am just fed up with playing Ebay and dealing with their stupid rules that continue to tie my hands while I hand over my hard earned income for their bull crap fees. Ebay is not the only player out there anymore.

ebayerOG · #40 11-04-2010

now you have said that im going to try and update mine abit as i havnt sold 1 item yet :(

NotGoodEnuff · #41 11-05-2010

Wish you best of luck. After you do the updating, promote it! If you have Ebay, let your buyers know where you are at. Do you have Facebook? I am not big with Facebook and not sure how it works. But, I have it and daily, I post about 1 or 2 of my products or promote a sale or something. Any holidays or with my husband having surgery, I posted that I would be away for a few days. Just let someone know where you are at. It has worked for me. And I am happy as hell! We had a wedding to pay for this summer. My husband had surgery and he didn't get a check for 3 weeks. But, we made it. I am only a few $1,000 from going and buying my brand new vehicle with CASH. A goal that I have been working on for about 3 years. I am hoping to have my home paid completely off in 5 years, if things keep going this way.

ebayerOG · #42 11-05-2010

thanky= you

just want to say best of luck with all of that i just realy hope i can make it to where you are (buying a new car ETC)

thanks once again

TapTapper · #44 11-07-2010
