I have been a power seller on ebay for ten years, two ids, and left for good when I discovered bonanzle. No more nostalgia for the early Wild West days on ebay, bonanzle has captured the fun, variety, and community spirit with an elegantly simple, fun site.grandmakaffeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-67495263475939024832009-02-11T08:22:00.000-08:002009-02-11T08:22:00.000-08:00I have tried many selling venues on the internet and stopped looking when I spotted Bonanzle. I joined the site in August, 2008 and was the 1,115 th member to join. Today, February 11th, 2009 there are nearly 30,000 members and the site continues to boom. There are too many good things about Bonanzle to mention here, so I would just say check out the site yourself. <BR/><BR/>http://www.bonanzle.com/BrownBagPantrysandycourtneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04449062738202541761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-22678130509369041542009-02-03T20:46:00.000-08:002009-02-03T20:46:00.000-08:00yes everything is moving along &quot;swimmingly&quot; LOL. <BR/><BR/>I feel pure exuberance when I am on Bonanzle.

I have done well over the years building a repeat customer base and welcoming new customers every day. I still have my eBay site. I have also imported all of my listing to a new site www.bonanzle.com. <BR/><BR/>Bonanzle is free to list and free to have up to 4 photos. The guys who run the show there are very good at what they do. They will personally answer you and even ask your opinion in the forums. You can chat live with a person who is browsing your items and interact with other sellers.<BR/><BR/>I guess after researching the many alternatives, I have found this to be the best. The display when you first log in to Bonanzle is professional. It is a clean, easy to use site with "booths" for the sellers who offer what ever payment type they choose.<BR/><BR/>The beauty of it is that the seller can be linked to Google Base where your items will eventually appear at the top of the pages when your item is searched. And this is free! There are FVF's, but minimal compared to eBay.<BR/><BR/>The site is growing leaps and bounds everyday. Of course, it doesn't have the notoriety that eBay does, YET. If you, as a seller, want a great alternative and grow with this site, it can't hurt at all to list your items parallel to what you currently have listed on eBay and eventually get out from under the grips of a "sinking ship".<BR/><BR/>So, come on over and check it out. You will find many eBay refugees, in fact most of the sellers are. Many former PowerSellers that are making the transition, one of them is me.<BR/><BR/>http://www.bonanzle.com/SusansBooks<BR/>www.susanscollectiblesclassicbooks.comSusanM11556http://www.blogger.com/profile/13531937278931936742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-13342596138232520232008-12-01T17:10:00.000-08:002008-12-01T17:10:00.000-08:00sorry this is the link to my booth:<BR/>http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/penguin9797Selenahttp://www.bonanzle.com/booths/penguin9797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-62969242206068891842008-12-01T17:07:00.000-08:002008-12-01T17:07:00.000-08:00I love this site! I imported 35 Ebay listings with one click in 13 seconds. It also let me import all of my feedback! In less than a minute you can transfer your entire Ebay business to this site FOR FREE! This site really knows how to treat its customers...buyers and sellers! I am watching it grow by leaps and bounds. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

Easy to list, easy to shop, friendly community and most importantly as a seller they give you the tools to track your progress and promote your booth/store. It's the best place I've found to sell and believe me I've tried almost all of them! <BR/>http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/GarageSaleBoutiqueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-43744429062476299412008-09-24T13:25:00.000-07:002008-09-24T13:25:00.000-07:00Hey Jim,<BR/><BR/>Looks like they are working for me.

Some of the sites I looked into were hard to figure out. With me not being expierenced on the computer I stayed away. This site is easy to list on, I can do what I want to do. I think if I want to give a free gift for someone purchasing a lot that's my choice and here you can do it without a hassle. This is a great site and I understand completely why the number of people signing up is so large. I'd like to say THANK YOU BILL for giving us this site.Cindyhttp://bonanzle.com/booths/Cindyleewho57noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-137328052477370052008-09-17T15:57:00.000-07:002008-09-17T15:57:00.000-07:00I joined Bonanzle after a search for Ebay alternatives turned up the site's name. I thought "why not!?" - and the rest is history. I'm there to stay, closing my Ebay store on 10/1, and have advised all my past bidders. I've had nothing but positive responses from my bidders, with several looking to come over as well. Bonanzle is EASY. Selling is much more FUN on Bonanzle - like it used to be on Ebay. Fees are low, people are friendly, and you don't have to worry about all the rules and restrictions of Ebay. Payments are not restricted to Paypal only - you can pay by electronic or paper means - or even (gasp) good old American cash. <BR/><BR/>Check it out - you'll be glad you did!<BR/><BR/>http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/sallenblanchardsallenblanchardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-8241851550319403042008-09-17T05:38:00.000-07:002008-09-17T05:38:00.000-07:00I signed up for Bonanzle while it was still in beta, within record time, I had all my listings transferred over and my booth set up, a definitive example of their motto "relentless simplicity".<BR/> I have gotten sales, during my bonanza (sale), and from previous clients that contacted me, wondering where I went.<BR/> But recently, I have been getting sales completely unsolicited by me, and not from other sellers. That for me marks the beginning of a wonderful relationship!<BR/> Add that to a wonderful, positive, helpful community spirit, and we have a winner folks!<BR/>http://bonanzle.com/booths/attheboutiqueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-13039937250815315162008-09-16T15:56:00.000-07:002008-09-16T15:56:00.000-07:00The 'Nanze is ebay's Kryptonite.<BR/>So long, suckers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-31487786497055510182008-09-16T14:05:00.000-07:002008-09-16T14:05:00.000-07:00Although I'm still a powerseller on ebay, and these days sell primarily from my own website wwww.oshunspirit.net, I have been looking for an online marketplace to replace my ebay presence for obvious reasons. I wanted to do business in an atmosphere that supported community, communication, and creative forward thinking. I found that in Bonanzle.<BR/>http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/oshunspirit1Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01578231221165517887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-29946691439147110182008-09-16T08:00:00.000-07:002008-09-16T08:00:00.000-07:00We joined Bonanzle on Aug 24th after checking out several other alternatives. Reading the Bonanzle policies, help pages, signing up, importing our eBay feedback and listing our first few items took less time than it would have to read through some of those "other" sites' policies! <BR/><BR/>Listing is stress-free, you can get an IM when someone enters your booth and then chat in real time with them! <BR/><BR/>The fees are insanely simple to understand. The community is fun and helpful. The owners actual come on and reply to topics and ask for user opinions! They even reply to your emails! *faint*<BR/><BR/>Check it out you will find selling and buying can be fun again!<BR/> <BR/>Our Booth: http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/Dude_ChickEttahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10317751726576465153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-23745539078615345392008-09-16T06:34:00.000-07:002008-09-16T06:34:00.000-07:00I signed up during beta in August excited at the prospect of joining a new and fresh looking online marketplace. I have sold and bought on Bonanzle since joining and love the fact that you can actually find collectibles by every seller. No &quot;best match&quot; search showing favortism to certain sellers in place at Bonanzle! <BR/><BR/>I bought a great pair of collectible antique salt &amp; pepper shakers at a Bonanza sale over the weekend at 50% off. Enjoyed the live chat with the seller, and all questions were answered in real time! I&#39;m happy to be part of the Bonanzle community. The folks there are friendly and helpful. I can&#39;t believe how fast it&#39;s growing! Stocking up for the coming holiday season! Looks like the buyers are finding their way there! I love the contest Bonanzle is having to promote organic growth. <BR/><BR/>Feel free to visit my Squidoo lens about a Bonanza sale or my booth at Bonanzle. <BR/><BR/>My Squidoo lens about Bonanzle is located here:<BR/>http://www.squidoo.com/bonanzasellCabanalolitahttp://www.bonanzle.com/booths/Cabanalolitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-66584215537268502492008-09-16T05:48:00.000-07:002008-09-16T05:48:00.000-07:00It was nice to be greeted at the door. Shortly after signing up, I received a text message from staff member Mark, welcoming me. That was a first for any site! <BR/><BR/>Signed up to sell on August 20, setting up quickly. On a simple 1/3 page the first item was listed. <BR/><BR/>The unique item market is what Pierre had in mind for eBay and it worked for many years. When it stopped working for us it was time to move into a new marketplace and learn about promoting.<BR/><BR/>We intend to ride the wave on Bonanzle because in three weeks, our experience has been more than refreshing. <BR/><BR/>Sellers only want to ride the wave when a site is established. In all selling venues, booths/stores need to be promoted by sellers. Your success selling anywhere is only driven by the effort you put into it. Bonanzle has offered the vehicle we found most comfortable! <BR/><BR/><B>Bonanzle is the attractive, simple, venue that offers unique sellers more than we have seen on any other site. <BR/><BR/>Chat/answer questions from customers live.<BR/><BR/>List on a simple list page.<BR/><BR/>Receive full support from the ownership. Questions are answered by real live people!<BR/><BR/>Owners Bill and Mark, keep sellers informed about site changes. <BR/><BR/>Bonanzle feeds items to google and oodle shopping and product searches. </B><BR/><BR/>Visit our booth: <BR/>http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/cleosgreatdealscleosgreatdealsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-37133429037106525252008-09-16T00:30:00.000-07:002008-09-16T00:30:00.000-07:00To aid some of my buyers who were having trouble getting used to the new format I made a little tutorial that will show some of the checkout process.

The site had approximately 250 members at that time, as I check right now it's grown to 1,945 users--not bad for 45 days. Among those nearly 2,000 users I see just 740 booths, so that's at least a nice percentage of folks who aren't selling, at least at the moment.<BR/><BR/>I'm not really getting any sales at this time, but to be honest I'm not really putting any work into it yet. I did the eBay import, I held a 3-hour Bonanza, which was a lot of fun--I chatted for an hour with a seller I'd never met, then for another couple with each of the owners and Henrietta--had a couple of sales there, but that's all. I've given the site a mention in my newsletter, on blogs like this, twitter, put a discreet banner on one of my pages which I hope to give more attention later. I've also heavily recommended it as my top choice of eBay alternative to anyone I've spoken to about selling.<BR/><BR/>Bonanzle is exciting. It's pulled in the best features of eBay, eBay alternatives, added a touch of their own personality and has an open ear towards users on future developments. <BR/><BR/>I'm planning on devoting more attention to the site in 2009 and optimistic that efforts will pay off down the line.<BR/><BR/>And since others have done so, I'll finish up my Bonanzle pep talk with a link to <A HREF="http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/thingsandotherstuff" REL="nofollow">my own booth</A>.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,CliffCliff Alipertihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07791559437928473638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35530817.post-2571795148894225112008-09-15T19:35:00.000-07:002008-09-15T19:35:00.000-07:00I must say Bonanzle is one of the freshest places I have seen! You know if the seller is "online" and can send message by leaving it in their booth...if they are not there...wait a minute or two...they will be! The place is full of good sellers and with the owners being so active on the site....it is bound to become the next best thing on the web! Step aside eBay!...Today it's Bonanzle! <BR/>PS...Yes I am a seller...you can visit me at http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/renagadeRenagadehttp://www.renagadesrelics.comnoreply@blogger.com
