I had a great success selling on Bonanza. I made $1600 in about two months, and I was only selling about the same 2 products. I moved to Bonanza originally with my first account in 2017, as I was suspended on ebay for having 1 negative feedback and 0 positive and then making new accounts which kept giving me the MC99 error. Long story short, EVERYTHING got linked. After my Bonanza account was shut down, for the heck of it I tried opening a new ebay account. Selling limit of zero. I contacted customer support, and the nice woman on the phone gave me a 25 item limit so that I could import items from shopify (which I recently began using only a week ago!). Then, a few hours later after uploading 4 items, I get hit with a selling limit of 0 again and I was told to contact customer support. But hey, I never had much luck with ebay anyway. And their fees were atrocious. Bonanza worked surprisingly well for me!
However, I was recently suspended.
I will copy and paste why:
I have had 100+ transactions and no problems up until recently. I had a death in the family and failed to ship items on time, and I have been trying to catch up. However, my negative feedback outweighs the positive simply because satisfied customers don't often leave feedback. My account got suspended due to the customer complaints even though I was trying to help them. "Disc doesn't play." I asked what they were using and asked for an error code or a picture, but instead they contacted Bonanza. My account was closed partially due to customers requesting refunds for reasons in which I believe to be unfair. One customer wanted a refund and simply said that they no longer wanted the product and then when I said that's not a valid reason, they said it didn't work and I offered to help but nothing. Another customer gave negative feedback a few days after the item was purchased AND shipped. One even went as far as to say my death in the family was a lie to counteract my "scams."
So I contacted Bonanza support and this is what they tell me:

Thank you for your interest in Bonanza and we sincerely apologize again for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!
I had $175 in my paypal two days ago. Now I have -$100 because all buyers have been messaged and TOLD to open cases on paypal and request refunds. Some of them actually still do want the products but I cant even order the shipping labels without having to pay the negative balance FIRST.
Problem with Bonanza is that it REQUIRES a debit or credit card to be on file to make monthly payments. I'm not sure how I would go about this... I have a VPN now, but obviously still the same bank account and debit card. Linking them to a new paypal would connect the accounts, correct? I was looking to make a new PayPal anyway, or to buy one. Should I request a new debit card number, or will it still detect the same bank account? I'm not sure how tough Bonanza's security sensors are. It's sad because I just learned about dropshipping and I was really eager to do so but alas, I cannot use eBay OR Bonanza... I was wondering if anyone had a Bonanza account with feedback for sale or could make me one? I'm not asking for anything super crazy, I just want to get back on the site again. I was content with what I got. As for eBay, are there any accounts LESS than $200...? I think I will eventually buy the stealth guide books obviously, but for now, can someone please help me out here? :(
