Bonanza big question

[alex70]

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

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...

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

E could be etsy though

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

Bonanza has lots of counterfeits

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

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 ...

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.

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

Can be tough and nasty

Grouping together and plotting against another seller.
