Bonanzle- What's All the Hype About?

Why Bonanzle is better for you

After a grueling and frustrating and for some devastating year of eBay changes for many the time has come to start breaking away from the ever increasing oppression of eBay. Many people are turning to Bonanzle and there is a good reason why- it is your best opportunity to succeed in your escape from the sadistic eBay marketplace. For many this won't be an overnight departure, but departing they are.

So, why is Bonanzle the one?

The first time someone suggested Bonanzle to me I was 1 turned off by the name - really it is a funny name- and 2 the look was kind of funny too, so I did not view Bonanzle as a serious opportunity. However, as time went on and eBay became more unbearable I decided to give Bonanzle a shot because it was easy to start there. You can import your eBay listings - though it only takes about 45 to 60 second to do a listing on Bonanzle so copy and paste is very simple. You can also import your eBay feedback number, which of course is nice because none of us want to walk a way from our very hard earned reputation and start from scratch again.

So I imported my listings and feedback in October while in the process of all the damn eBay revisions, but because of the revisions I had to postpone opening my booth, because I wanted to put in my crisp non-eBay degraded photos so revising on Bonanzle for me was on the list too. However, revising all of my 900 + listings on eBay replacing my template due to the new listing page format it took me over 6 weeks to get through all of them. So I didn't get to opening my booth until December 14th and I was so incredibly excited and encouraged when I had my very first sale on December 19th and even more encouraged to learn that the buyer had signed up as a member to purchase from me. That is the true testament of the viability of a site - can it draw outside traffic leading to sales and Bonanzle does!

Excited by my very promising experience I told everyone I know about Bonanzle, because there is no reason to keep a good thing a secret:). I am not the only Bonanzler excited to share the opportunity of Bonanzle with others in fact the user initiated word of mouth marketing has caused an explosion of growth for Bonanzle. The excitement for Bonanzle is due to the unique features and fantastic perspective and qualities of its founder Bill Harding and Co-founder Mark Dorsey.
