Something has been going on with Bonanza. I have my listings set up to automatically import from eBay to Bonanza. Usually I have one sale a month on Bonanza, maybe two. But the last week of December I had three sales! That seemed like a lot all at once. And in the first few weeks of January I sold EIGHT more items.
I actually starting writing this post last week, so in the final week of January I have had zero more Bonanza sales. It seems my streak is over. I think it is still worth sharing though because from what I can tell almost all of my Bonanza sales come from people randomly searching online and stumbling across Bonanza items. The majority of my sales are to people who I can tell just created their accounts to be able to purchase my item.
Wondering what has been selling on Bonanza?

Although there were more than usual, these are the types of items I typically sell on Bonanza. Of my 200ish lifetime sales on Bonanza, I can only remember selling a couple of clothing items, and those that I do remember selling were coats. I just went looking for a place in my account that lists my total sales and while I didn’t find that, I did find this:
Which confirms that the majority of my sales (at least over the last 30 days) came from Google. I think this holds true in past months too.
Side note. If there is a way to automatically import from eBay to Bonanza, why can’t this be done for PM or Mercari? Do they not want to be flooded with eBay listings? Are eBay and Bonanza affiliated in some way? I’ve actually wondered this for a long time, and it seems like I even looked it up once but wasn’t able to confirm it was true.
Does anyone else still sell on Bonanza? How is it going over there?
