Bonanza has the worst customer service. I have been selling on this site for years, had someone try to fraudulently purchase from me in November because Stripe allows fraud. Got the transactions refunded but on one the sales tax of $52 was already sent to Bonanza. I contacted support and was told they would look into it, that was back in November 2024 and they ignore my emails about any updates. Tried to contact BBB but they closed the case since the company does not keep an updated address. I also would not recommend this site since they also now started making you to use their postage and they charge more when you don't send them money to create a postage account. I have already filed a claim with the state Attorney General with receipts and the emails. If you don't subscribe to their overpriced memberships they don't care about you as a seller.
This is probably the shadiest companies I have ever used! Fair warning selling on this site or buying for that matter.
Look at all their reviews on here, BBB, etc. Speaks volumes on how they are as a company.
US Post Office states item was returned to sender due to an issue with tracking number. I never received the item. Wrote to seller numerous times and never received a response. The only use PayPal which is of no help at all with issues with a vendor. It appears they may be located in India. Strongly suggest not to do business with this seller.
Bonanza is a fantastic eCommerce platform with excellent customer service, I'm very satisfied working with. They have real email to reply my question, not automatic email. Thank you very very much Bonanza
I bought a figure on this website, the money came out of my account, then a email that my order was cancelled and going to be refunded, but I've yet to see any money back. Got scammed by this site by one of their sellers and I don't think I'll get my money back.
Ordered a gift for my father 7 days ago... seller will not send tracking information, even after many inquiries. Should have used eBay or Amazon. Shipping was more then the product itself. So disappointed. Will not return. I just hope I get my 56.00 back
I ordered a dog crate cover through Bonanza; it was sent to the wrong address, and the people at Bonanza sent another one, no questions asked. When that one arrived it was the wrong size. I received an immediate refund. Very professional, quite responsive, and very speedy. I would order from them again!
I tried Bonanza for the first time, and my order never arrived. I tried contacting the seller three times to no avail. I then turned to Bonanza for assistance.
I later learned that disputes have to go though the buyer's credit card company, as Bonanza does not offer any type of purchase protections. That's not a great way to do business, so I wanted to give people a heads up. I, for one, won't be using this site again.
Bonanza isn't really a good resource for online selling and now they eve worse as they actually charge sellers if they don't buy their shipping labels from Bonanza or "approved" integrators. I am only going pay $2 one time because I can't close my account if I don't pay it.
Don't expect to get a refund! Go somewhere else (like etsy or ebay). No help with disputes " keep working with seller" who won't respond to messages. PayPal gave me a refund which let this seller HaiT103 off the hook to refund. Looks like the whole website is a scam
Answer: Bonanza has an internal customer service department that can be contacted directly at support@bonanza.com, or you can click on the "Contact" link found on the footer of any page on Bonanza.com
Answer: Not fake but not a good site to do business
Answer: Ebay. I always get great customer service from ebay... as a seller. Bonanza provides no customer service; if you have an issue, they just keep sending the same "canned" response over and over... and I had one sale on Bonanza for which they charged me a 17% fee... then they took $25 more out of my bank account... I have addressed both of these issues with Bonanza... Regarding the huge 17% fee... they sent me about seven (7) of the same "canned" response. I wanted a lesser % fee since their website claims they always charge the "lowest fee possible"... just one "canned" response after another... If they would have offered a more reasonable % fee in order to provide me with satisfactory customer service. I would have been satisfied; but they did not... after the seventh "canned" response... I closed my booth... And NOW... EVEN WORSE... they took an additional $25.00 out of my bank account... and for what I have no idea. I called the phone number which was listed with the transaction on my bank account and of course got a recording. I left my information, and it has been four days... and still no response. When you call ebay, you speak to a live person who works to solve your concerns... I HATE BONANZA... and you would think that BONANZA would not want RIDICULOUSLY UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS... but they do not care. I moved all my ebay items to Bonanza to see if it was a better experience than ebay... ebay's fees are 10%... and they have a much larger shopping audience... and they have real customer service people that you can talk to. Bonanza has a much smaller shopping audience, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL, and their goal appears to be to charge sellers the most enormous fees that they can get away with. I never get online to post negative reviews... I generally get online to post about great customer service and great products... I like to keep things on the POSITIVE... but this is just not possible with BONANZA... they are like a Phantom Selling Platform... totally disgusted. I will be reporting BONANZA to the BBB and to the US Attorney General's Office. Very disappointing experience.
Answer: Sellers can create and offer coupons with zero limitations ("Sell on Bonanza > Edit booth options > Discounts & Coupons").
Answer: I set up my account with Bonanza and their platform is pretty much the same as setting up an account with eBay, Etsy, Amazon, etc. What problems are you having?
Answer: I have never seen any benefit to paying extra for advertising. Bonanza just doesnt do it like ebay does. Have you ever seen a Bonanza ad on TV? Nope. And therein lies the problem. Nobody will shop there if they havent heard of it. True many sellers are leaving ebay (or sadly being kicked off by the BS) but nearly everyone goes to Bonanza to SELL not to buy.
Answer: Yes and the answer be sure if ya are absent minded of being taken advantage of..
