Just signed up for Bonanza
 

A few questions:

Can I sign up on Bonanza with real details and have a stealth PayPal account connected?

Any precautions I should take when making my account or listing products? I have a few that seem like will sell well. From what I herd it's very hit or miss so I think it's worth it to test it out.

Are there selling limits and/or category restrictions?

Any tips or something I should know before setting up my booth or whatever they call it lol

Bonanza stealth is fairly easy. If you start listing electronics they will send you a message saying "do you have any feedback to import from ebay or amazon?"

No limits last time I looked, they take seller fees off you very quickly though.

Yea they are quick to charge seller fees, and BZ organic traffic is maybe 1/100th of Ebay's. You need to upgrade to the middle/titan plan and get that 'turbotraffic' flowing so they'll list your items in Google shopping to get the sales going. The upside is if there is little competition in shopping for your item, you can get a premium for the product. If there is competition, you can undercut your competition and scoop the sales. Most people I've seen do not monitor their Bonanza pricing nearly as much as Ebay.

Cool, thanks for the input

I do make sales on bonanza, but I feel I probably will shut my accounts down.
Organic traffic it's really few, if you do want to make some reasonable sales you have to pay what I consider very high fees.
Also I don't like the interface/ usage of the site, and the fact that they charge the fees directly through your bank account.

I haven't used Bonan in some time, although last time I checked they take the fees from your card, in which case I assume you are using your real card. Better to use a reloadable vcc/prepaid card, be in control

if you use a prepaid card and they can't get any funds from it they will ban you from selling and delete your account and you wont even be able to login

Yep my account was deleted within a month of creating it haha.

I don't understand how eBay, Amazon, Bonanza, etc. appeal to the everyday people who want to sell some items or get rid of some stuff and then get immediately banned? Doesn't make sense to me

I do like Bonanza, I do not get as many sales as I do on AZ or eBay but it is a good alternative. What I dislike is their system when you connect your eBay inventory to Bonanza, they do not always adjust the sold amount so I have found myself overselling a few items.
I HATE their cancellation policy with listings, to get your fees back, it is hard.

Other than that I do like them.
