Bonanzle - What do You Like About It?

I logged into my Bonanzle.com account today and proceeded to the My Bonanzle home page.  This is the central hub for all Bonanzle users, buyer or seller and serves as a control panel/information resource.  Today I noticed one interesting update:

This site currently has 49096 users

This seems like a momentous amount of users and at the rate Bonanzle seems to be gaining each day, the 50,000 user mark should be here very soon.  With this in mind, I thought a poll would be an interesting way to gauge the real attraction to Bonanzle.com.

This of course is not a scientific poll as the questions came from my noggin but I think the answers will reveal what it is that has everyone so interested in this (as I said in a previous article) "Bodacious eBay competitor".  (Not that we are in any way comparing this to eBay).

So what is it?  What do you like about Bonanzle, what do you dislike?

(Pencil in your answers if I have not provided enough options in the poll, or simply comment below....

Yesterdays post encouraged an unbelievable amount of partcipation. In less than 24 hours we had over 1000 individual votes for the sites listed on that Poll:

  • eBay
  • Amazon
  • Etsy
  • OnlineAuction
  • Dawdle
  • Bonanzle
  • Comparision Shopping Sites

Results can be seen on our previous post - click the results link on the poll display.

The previous poll is still open so if you have not voted yet for one of the platforms or options listed above, please do so here:

Multiple Channels - Where do you List Your Products? eBay, Amazon, Etsy, Bonanzle or?

At the end of the first day (less than 24 hours) eBay edged ahead as the clear leader in usage. With 47% or respondents voting for eBay.

No surprise there, but as an observer the voting became an interesting horse race with the early lead going to OnlineAuction soon followed by  Bonanzle coming on strong mid way through the day (at one point having over 50% of the vote but ending with a very respectable 30% at last check.

Todays Poll

Todays poll includes all of the write in candidates from yesterdays poll, (additions readers added into the list on yesterdays poll) each of the listed sites below accumulated at least one vote in our last poll. (In todays poll you can also add any site not listed here of in yesterdays poll).

We are including all of the write in sites without checking to determine the validity of these sites, as always comments and discussion are welcome in the comments section below.

The Trading Assistant Journal is not promoting or endorsing any site(s) on these polls.

I will say that I am surprised that Etsy and Amazon did not get more votes in yesterdays poll. I can only attribute this to sellers on those platforms not being away of our unscientific census of online merchants. If you know anyone who would be interested in weighing in for Amazon, Etsy, Dawdle or any of the others, please send them here to let us know where they are proud to sell product online!

Multiple Channels – Where do you List Your Products? eBay, Amazon, Etsy, Bonanzle or?

Our last poll asked if our readers were selling on multiple platforms, just eBay or on thier own eCommerce website?

The results from just one days of replies was overwhelmingly in favor of multiple channel selling with 63% of the respondents affirming that they do indeed market product on multiple venues other than their own ecommerce website.

Today we will ask where you are actually selling product or offering product in these channels.  Obviously we could not list every channel available so we will leave the ones you suggest in the comments section for another poll.  For this poll we will simply ask about the majors and it is multiple choice so click on every place you utilize that is on the poll.

How many eCommerce Platforms?

This is a simple poll we are running to get a feel for the numbers of merchants exploring the potential of multi channel selling.

Scot Wingo recently revealed that Channel Adviser has over 6000 clients using the CA software platform. We assume the multi-channel selling concept that Scot and CA developed early on has a wider appeal now than it once had when eBay was at its peak.

How many of you are trying new and interesting channels such as Etsy, Bonanzle, Online Auction, Dawdle, or any of the others which have popped up in the last 12 months?  Conversely, how many are sticking just with eBay or your own ecommerce shopping cart website?

We would like to hear from you!
