    It's alright, it feels like a majority of the people there are just to sell, and I have had 100 views but no sells, on ebay I made a few sells at least. My prices are set at a decent price for their condition like a new Coach bag without tags for 170 dollars, that's cheap, other people sell used handbags for 200 or up, and the new ones are always 250 to 300. So far, even with all the people on Bonanzle I have not sold anything and with all the discount and sales, nothing, at least on ebay there was more traffic and more sells, I guess I have to go back to ebay and suck it out with their fees. : (

    Fall in love with the site and as you will see all of the negative comments are due to ignorant pride! Seems the Bon'Angels are keeping the site free of people with their panties in a wad to me! LOL! For you smart people who actually read directions and who enjoy clarity without all the confusion you will adore this site! The numbers have more than doubled in a few months and it is an online Paradise for buyers and shoppers who appreciate quality and angels of course! There is no confusion and in my Book that is a number one indication for honesty and safety too! Security is absolutely right for peace of mind, another smart indication! Please come and check it out if you are an angel in the works, otherwise enjoy your other sites where fussing and negativity are just a part of it. God Bless all of you either way you choose to click!

    had one experience with this site and won't bother with them again. found an item i was looking for being sold for a certain price or best offer. i made the only offer but the seller just made a counter offer not much lower than the original asking price. i tried to buy the thing but their site wouldn't allow me to enter the new price and the seller refused to respond to my messages. there were numerous e-mail exchanges back and forth with Bonanzle but they never bothered contacting the seller or telling me how to pay the counter offer price. in short, no control over sellers' behavior, apparently no criteria or standards required of them and no respect for the potential customer. this would have been a simple matter to straighten out and i would have bought the item and returned to Bonanzle but they blew it.

    I just finished a 10 week trial of Bonanzle. I had a whopping two sales in this time period. There are no buyers on Bonanzle and traffic is flat. Bonanzle's business model wants you to churn sales from inside Bonanzle from other members. They recommend posting on their forums, traveling to other booths, and making little collages to be seen on the home page. That is not a constructive business model that will last and grow. When I looked at my Google analytics the traffic on Bonazle was flat actually almost to the point of being nonexistent. If I want to see flat traffic figures and pay for that privilege I'll head to Ebay. I sell on other sites (including Amazon) with this same merchandise. In the same time period Ecrater outsold Bonanzle 15:1. Same merchandise at the same price, and Ecrater is totally free. I closed up shop on Bonanzle today and will use Ecrater as my closeout sales site. I don't have any special attachment to Ecrater but if it could do fifteen times the job and it... Read more

    no traffic of buyers, no intuitive experience, they keep bugging me with emails on adding stuff or info... and this seems like a little company posting reviews of themselves everywhere to look bigger/better than what they are... someone should regulate these things! I do not trust my data to companies like this

    Came here to see what others thought and was a little offended by what I take to be Bonanzle posting their own fake reviews. No, it is impossible to prove it but with all reviews covering a span of nearly two years 33 of the 47 (at the time of this writing) were posted in the span of two days, all 33 were five star and glowing (and posted 11/21/2008 and 11/22/2008). If the person(s) who has a financial interest in seeing Bonanzale succeed is going to be a lowlife (i.e. liar) at least be smart about it, spread it out. Who knows perhaps they did with the 14 other 5 star reviews. Now will never know if the other 14 are legit or not. See how it works Bonanzale? Integrity - once you pawn it off it's hard to gain it back. It's too bad because someone should challenge eBay. Many of us are willing to support such a venture but not one who hires schills. Integrity can exist on the internet it just takes a little longer for it to succeed.

    Bonanzle is a great place if you have hours to spend being social in the forums. If you are first and foremost an online seller with no time to play games and chit chat, your sales at Bonanzle will be minimal at best. Bonanzle has an easy to use format (for sellers). I've 'tested' the anonymous buyer method, and it's difficult at best. It doesn't recognize most country codes so if you are hoping to sell internationally, your customer base may be hitting errors as they try to purchase from you. It doesn't even recognize APO addresses - simply says it doesn't recognize that code, contact support for help. Yeah, anon_buyers will waste their time doing that instead of going to another, more 'customer friendly' venue. The final value fees are ok (I do like the free listings though) but if you sell low cost items, that fee can really cut into your profits. All in all, Bonanzle is ok. The powers that be over there refuse to pay for any major advertising, instead telling the sellers ... Read more

    Sales are growing all the time. Very friendly community focused on helping people. Don't get the wrong idea, even though you can socialize on the site it's main focus is selling and sales have been great.

    I have been listing on Bonanzle for a few months now, and have had a few sales, and bought several items. I have found both the buying and selling processes to be quick and easy. Customer support is second to NONE, with prompt responses from the OWNERS; responses which actually answer the question you asked - not canned crap that tells you to clear your cache and cookies and ignores your question. The community forums have lots of sellers helping sellers, as well as chit chat for those so inclined.

    This was my first time shopping Bonanzle. The process for signing up and ordering is fairly average. The same as you would find at most online sites. The problem I had was that the notes I typed to the seller did not go through and I ended up with an entirely different product than I ordered. When contacting the seller, I was told I would need to reship the product back at my own expense and then pay for reshipping of the correct item. And the seller was covered because she had a copy of the notes section on my order, which uploaded blank.

    The best social network for buying and selling on the internet! And I am not the only one who thinks so... Indeed there are many, but one of the most knowledgeable overall in auctions and antiques wrote this in an article for the Auctions and Antiques Examiner http://www.examiner.com/x-312-Auctions-and-Antiques-Examiner~y2009m1d29-Bonanzle-voted-best-eBay-alternative-again-hits-a-million-listings-at "here are the reasons I think the company has passed the milestones it has in such a short time, and why I think it has a very bright future. * The site has realtime chat rooms for each seller which encourages people to communicate live in a very unrestricted manner. * The openness of the site, allows for cross promotion, networking and a very fun, friendly atmosphere. If you don't know something on Bonanzle, just ask and you'll have help in minutes. * The fees to sell on the site are very reasonable, it's free to list, Bonanzle get's it's money when you make a sale.

    BONANZLE ! It's just the GREATEST THING ! After wrestling with all the junk on Ebay for 5 years, BONANZLE is now the Center Piece of my business. I'm STAYING :o) I had No Idea an Auction / Sales site could be so Clean and Straight forward to use. And the Help is Wonderful. I've never seen a Chat Feature like the one everyone gets in their "Booth". My booth is NYMArts. Stop by and see what you're missing. So KOOL. I do believe I'm in Heaven. May BONANZLE remain in it's present state FOREVER. http://nymarts.com

    Supremely easy to navigate and the people who are buying and selling there have a positive attitude. It's growing by leaps and bounds on a daily basis. Shopping there is great fun. Love that you can talk directly to a seller if they are online. If you have not shopped there yet, you don't know what you are missing. Searching for a necklace? You won't be shown only a bunch of vases, bowls and candlesticks like on FeeBay. Looking for fabric? That's what you get! Wow - what a concept!

    Best new site on the internet. Can't beat the free listing until sold, low fees, friendly interface, multiple payment options, online chat, friendly and helpful forums, easy access to support and so much more. Bonanzle is not just a flash in the pan...it will definitely surpass other wanna-be start up sites.

    Eclectic assortment of hard to find items sold by incredibly knowledgeable and friendly people. I've found some of my favorite Ebay sellers here, and since their listing costs are dramatically lower, they are passing the savings onto their customers. Do you collect books? Ephemera? Glass? Head on over to Bonanzle!

    Steller venue for buyers and sellers alike. No hidden fees, numerous payment options, straightforward set up, easy navigation, and no need to grip your wallet - this site does NOT take you for every nickle and dime to your name. Want more? How about family friendly, awesome community and peer support, numerous opportunities to promote your booth (e.g., store), in-booth chat functions so you can talk with the seller on-site without leaving their booth (if seller online), ability to add your inventory to Google Product search? Still not enough? OK - batch edit items! *True* feedback system (that's right both sellers and buyers can leave positive, neutral or negative FB - imagine that...), real contact with real site owners, friendly competition (your "competition" is on your side!), extremely easy registration, AND "Top 10 Reasons to Bonanzle": http://www.bonanzle.com/site_help/getting_started_s ection/top_10_reasons?title=Here%27s+a+couple+good+ reasons .

    Bonanzle is the place to find everything but the ordinary. Wonder where all those sellers of funky vintage and collectibles who used to be on eBay went? Find many of them on Bonanzle.com With close to 10,000 registered users in the less than three months this site has been out of beta, and 400,000 items you can spend many happy hours browsing. Prices are excellent because sellers aren't being nickled and dimed to death with fees and so are able to price their items more attractively.
