Bonanza is the e-commerce equivalent of a tumbleweed. No traffic. No traction. No clue. It's baffling how a site with such comically low visibility expects sellers to stick around while their listings... See more

About Bonanza

Written by the company

We are an online marketplace that empowers entrepreneurs to build a sustainable business based on repeat customers. Our product is built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs -- we understand what it means to be too busy to sweat the small stuff. We aim to remove the technical expertise needed to build a profitable online business, making the joys of entrepreneurship accessible for all.

Experience has proven to us that listening to our sellers' feedback is the best opportunity we have to consistently improve our product. That's why we've developed various tools over the years to make online selling easy. Our business relies on making successful sellers, so it's not a coincidence that the tools we offer can be customized to fit our sellers' needs.

Some of our most popular tools include:


Bonanza has been a seller-centric marketplace since our inception - that's why we don't make any money until you do. No listing fees, no monthly store fees, no other sneaky fees. We provide one-click publishing to all major buyer channels , and we pay all advertising costs on your behalf until you make a sale.

Although most marketplaces focus exclusively on promoting their own brand to buyers, Bonanza is a platform that allows sellers to make sales and build a brand by developing relationships with their customers. Building your online business takes vision, dedication, and time, so you need to know you're building on a solid foundation.

In 2021, Bonanza was ranked first for "Customer Service", "Communication" and "Most Recommended Marketplace" in the EcommerceBytes Sellers Choice Awards, ahead of eBay, Amazon, Etsy, and all other contenders in the largest online survey of sellers, administered by the longest running ecommerce industry news sites, Ecommercebytes. In 2020, we were voted best "Customer Service", "Communication" and "Ease of Use."

Outstanding customer service

The customer service Bonanza provides to sellers is outstanding. We encountered a problem, on a Saturday, with a customer's order and messaged Bonanza staff.
The problem was remedied in less than 2 hours. Thank you for making sure we could meet our customer's shipping expectations.

Good platform for USA sellers

The platform is very easy and convenient to use. Support times are normally within 2 days and very helpful. I gave 4 stars is only because the platform is more build for American sellers, some settings can be rather confused for sellers outside USA as well as buyers inside USA. We received our first order one week after landing on the platform which is rather good for a seller outside USA with some disadvantages compared to the local sellers. We wish the platform getting better and better internationally.

Bonanza consistently demonstrates its commitment to seller satisfaction

Bonanza consistently demonstrates its commitment to maintain seller satisfaction, and on the necessary occasions when sellers are subjected to buyer abuse you can count on Bonanza to be fair and act accordingly. Bonanza may not be the biggest actor on the stage, but it's well on its way given the company's adherence to its stated goals, as well as its stellar workforce.

Joined Bonanza early May 2022 and have been very pleased with the experience. My history of online selling is over 17 years and counting. The atmosphere that I feel from Bonanza is one of good feelings, how can we help you and make things better, we are here for you, and most importantly Positive.

The worst service for seller

I'm a seller and registered on Bonanza to sell my product. I spent a day to upload the listings. The next day I found that I can not log into my account, it throws me to the main page. I wrote to the support and they answered, that I can no longer use their site. So they kicked me out without any email or explaining the reason! My further questions were not answered by support.

So Far so Good

I was a little apprehensive when I read the myriad of bad reviews. I have not had a sale yet as I have only been on site a few days but the contact with the administration has been excellent. I have had questions to which they responded to promptly. I look forward to a positive experience going forward.

Bonanza is just that for scammers

Bonanza is just that for scammers! I have ordered maybe 80-100 orders via another marketplace site with only 1 other issue ever. With Bonanza however, I was scammed with my first order. The seller submitted a tracking # that was delivered months before I placed an order. The seller responded once that he would look into it. Bonanza took no responsibility and shunted me off to PayPal to make a claim through their process. Bonanza never responded to the unshipped order. Then they closed the claim without taking any action and said the claim could not be reopened or escalated. They are not interested in you getting the product that you paid for or customer service at all apparently.

I have contacted Customer Service several times and they have responded within 24 hours. In my opinion that is within a reasonable time. They were able to answer my questions with easy to understand instructions. I recommend Bonanza's team because they were very professional and knowledgeable. Great experience!
