Bonanza big question
 

Hi guys,

I read here and there that Bonanza with Etsy (though Etsy not the same kind) seem to be the most serious alternatives to Ebay/amazon. People seems to think traffic on Bonanza is constantly growing. Ok, that's great since many of us are fed up with Ebay.

I moved to Ioffer and Bonanza one month ago. Ioffer is a perfect 0 viewing.
On the contrary I've got many viewing from Bonanza, and seriously not so far from what I used to have from Ebay ............. But :

I've got one item that really really sells very well on Ebay. I am seriously the cheapest way all over the net to get this item, and many people are interested to get it.
I made it available from Bonanza a month ago with a lower price than from Ebay. That's a big deal from anyone who wants to get it.
I've got many views for this item on Bonanza, but I have had not one small little sale !!!

so here is the big question : What's the #*% with Bonanza ?
Why so much people take a look at my item but don't want to buy it.
I used to have the same traffic from ebay but with many sales :smash:

Re: Bonanza big question
 

Not the best for traffic - I would not rely much on that site for big sales. Go for better sites with more traffic.

The views are misleading - can be the same person just clicking around...

Re: Bonanza big question
 

I see.
Better sites with more traffic are the ones an E and an A for first letters right lol ?

Re: Bonanza big question
 

E could be etsy though :boink:

But the big E(bay) and the big A(mazon) have the pickings of traffic.

Bonanza has lots of counterfeits

Re: Bonanza big question
 

Being known for counterfeits doesnt help the growth of Bonanza indeed.

Re: Bonanza big question
 

I still don't have a clue why every day I got views from bonanza. Seriously I've got the same traffic I used to have from ebay. But no sales.
On the other hand Ioffer is a perfect 0 but their search engine is a real mess.

I'm living in Laos and Thailand. In fact I'm at the border so I can get the best of the both sides. Do you think Etsy could be an opportunity for me ? I heard Etsy can be hard to deal ...

Re: Bonanza big question
 

Etsy has lot of sellers that do NOT like infringement on their market and will seek and destroy you if you encroach on their territory.

Re: Bonanza big question
 

Depends on your items and depends on being accepted by those that sell in your category.

Can be tough and nasty

Re: Bonanza big question
 

What are their weapons ?

Re: Bonanza big question
 

Lying.

Grouping together and plotting against another seller.

Lying.

:mad:

And handcrafted bonnets and waist-cinchers that will CRUSH you!
