#Bonanza automatically imports my ebay listings free

I used to sell a lot on Etsy but the new CEO turned the site direction to mass manufacture, free shipping, cheap, etc.

A few days really says little because the items have to populate not only through the site, but into external search engines - I always gave it several months (except for Bonanza where for some reason I was determined lol). One thing to know about starting on most other marketplace sites, and this goes for eBay, too - it takes a while to gain traction. When I started on eBay in 2001 I'd already been selling on three other sites for a couple of years, and I've never sold solely on eBay, so diversification isn't any big deal to me, but not all sites work for everyone, and eBay definitely has a huge footprint. Mercari has a funky search engine, but I do sell some stuff there - kind of a clearance situation. Bonanza says 'free to list' but it's pretty much pay to play as far as I could see (spend a couple of years there).

I had the same updating problems on Bonanza as - it's not very reliable. I've deleted my Bonanza account - even after they offered up a lower fee structure to stay, which seemed a bit desperate. I'll likely keep those items up at Mercari - but I won't invest more time in new listings. So, this is almost the end of my experiment, I think. Even when I restarted selling on eBay early last year, sales came quickly - sales every day. Contrast that with eBay - if I put up a new item, I'll get 25 views in the first hour. Pretty much ditto on Mercari - around 120 views over those four items, and no sales. On 100 items, over three days, I have a total of around 25 VIEWS, and zero sales. What have I found over the past few days? For my items, Bonanza is a complete joke. Mercari was simple enough - but I didn't want to invest a lot of time in testing the waters, so I didn't want to list a lot of items.

Bonanza was easy - just had them pull in my eBay listings. A few days ago, I listed four items on Mercari, and around 100 on Bonanza. I've had slow sales in April, so started thinking about listing on other sites - not leaving eBay, but a small amount of diversification.
