Hello, this is my 1st question for the community - lack of sales... help!

Hello all,

I have had my Bonanza booth for a couple of years now and have only had a few sales. What can I do to increase sales or Google ranking?

Is it true that there is an issue with having the same inventory on Ebay as on Bonanza? I love the simplicity and use of Paypal for receiving quick payment however I am not getting enough sales.

I am also interested in dropshipping as a new source of inventory.

I’ve lowered the prices in my booth to be the lowest on any platform I sell on and still no sales. I would love for Bonanza to become my main platform but I won’t invest money into it without seeing an organic increase first.

Thank you in advance for any advice, I really appreciate everyone’s time.

Hello.

I took a look on Google shopping and both your eBay store and Bonanza are on there with your merchandise.

In my opinion, yes, it’s true. If you are selling on eBay the same stuff as on Bonanza then you are competing with yourself. eBay is a more well known site and shoppers are more likely to click and go there first in my opinion…but you do have a nice price difference being lower here with the items I checked for, so this should help with getting them to click here. Question, how is your merchandise performing on eBay?

Your eBay listings come up first and foremost and Bonanza second. Maybe you can try turbotraffic pack and see how this does…if it puts your Bonanza listings ahead in Google shopping rather than your eBay listings. Experimenting this way may help you to make decisions.

You have a lot of photos…great titles…you’ve done a super job.

I would not be being helpful if I also did not mention that it has been slow for me for a while. Christmas brought me sales that I used to have on a monthly basis, so I have to say that Christmas was somewhat slow also.

Still, I like listing here and a sale here and there I like. I do also list on Etsy and I’ll put the listing on reserve here when putting it over on Etsy. Then, if it does not sell after being on Etsy for a while I’ll take it back off reserve here. So I think Bonanza works well that way, too. I’ve handled it the same way with eBay and Bonanza.
