Bonanzle, while not listed in our previous “top 5″ places to resell list, has been growing in popularity. Perhaps this is a reflection of people fed up with Ebay fees and bureaucracy, or perhaps it is simply that Bonanzle has a lot of things going for it. The first thing you notice about Bonanzle .com is how simple it all looks. The sight is visually appealing, and very easy to navigate. Compare this with the overwhelming experience of browsing on eBay, and you start to get an idea of why people are switching over to this alternative. It is also quite simple for sellers to list their items on Bonanzle, due to a few innovations, including a built-in image cropper and price guesser feature. The advantages don’t stop there.
The most obvious and palpable advantage of this website over eBay is reduced fees. It is 100% free to open your online store and begin listing items on Bonanzle . In addition, the commission on sales is very low, much lower than eBay. Add to this the fact that it is very easy to import your items from eBay or Craigslist directly onto Bonanza, and you have a real competitor. While Bonanzle’s traffic is still much lower than that of eBay, it continues to grow every month.
Aside from lower fees, there is also a much different feel. Buyers and sellers can chat about products in real time on Bonanzle. This allows buyers to get more complete information about products before making a purchase, and allows them to bargain over the price. This is very different from the formal bidding process on eBay, which allows for minimal communication between buyers and sellers. In addition, this allows sellers to offer improved customer service to increase their sales. There is a much more personal feel on Bonanzle, as the chat function allows sellers to build relationships with their customers.
The lower fees, community feel, and simple browsing of Bonanzle are grabbing the attention of the online shopping community. Whether you are just starting out, or looking for a new place to retail goods online, check out Bonanzle.com.
