Order an item a month ago. Never recieved item or shipping info, but the money was withdrawn from my account. Contacted seller who claims Bonanza never told her about the order, asked if I wanted to item or a refund, I said either... never heard from her again. Contacted Bonanza, never once heard from them. IRATE at this point. Not sure how to go about getting my money back considering the company can't even return an email... an email I was prompted to send (and received a generic email in return saying they would contact me in 24 to 48 hours... that was over a week ago... such bull$#*!.) Legal action is next!
Oh, and Bonanza bot... if you reply that "Bonanza has been rated an A for customer service..." seriously, stfu. Want an A from me? Return my emails and my money!

Very poor customer support. I am new seller on Bonanza, I tried to reach them so many times during the past 3 days but no one is getting back to me. It is very hard to sell on a website where there is no customer support available to help.

Do not purchase anything from bonanza. I ordered a belt for my son and they charged my account and sent me an email saying my shipping was cancelled but never gave me credit for the charge. Was never able to get ahold of the seller either.

So many bad reviews on this site. (smh) One of the problems is i think, The "Go To" place is ebay. If you can find it on that hell forsaken site, why look anyplace else? I know, i sell there also. But i sell on lots of sites, ebay has taught me not to "put all my egg's in one basket, so to speak" however, I do feel most at home on Bonanza. Sales all depend on what someone is looking for... if they find it on ebay, that's it. Why look any further, UNLESS you bring them there. Yes, we have to tweet, and pin and advertise our items like crazy. But i do get sales out of it. And never, not once, have i ever received a return on an item. Also, Bonanza has recently gotten many "Ebay refugee's" and if something does not sell right away, they get all mad and complain and leave. Well, in my opinion, one day ebay will either no longer be there or will run the small seller out of town, as they have been trying to do... Then maybe these sellers will learn how to tweet and pin their own items. There is nothing underhanded about this site... it IS free to list items, fee's are less than ebay, customer service is awesome (if anyone tell's you different, sorry its just not the truth) sales are not as good as over there, but its alot less hassle. I love Bonanza.

All you need to do is look at the completely useless boilerplate that "Mark" copy-pastes to EVERY bad review, regardless of the content. Clearly, this "Mark" person/robot isn't even reading these complaints -- only the ratings -- as "Mark's" one-and-only ever-repeating response doesn't even apply to many issues raised here. The fact that "Mark" thinks this is an acceptable form of dealing with customers who are complaining about Bonanza's LACK of customer support should tell you everything you need to know. Their concerns about Bonanza's truly laughable customer support are not only real, but manifested here for all to see. If the "Mark" robot posts the same blurb about the BBB on this review as "Mark" has on all other low-rated reviews, then you can rest assured that no one at Bonanza.com is listening or gives a crap.
To "Mark": if you are a real person, prove it by replying to the specific issue in this post (that Bonanza doesn't even read their customer's concerns, let alone provide any kind of support). If you are not a real person, then show it by posting the same weak line about the Better Business Bureau as has been posted already to every bad review here. Make sure there is no variation in any way to your usual response if you want us to believe that you are just an algorithm.

I spent almost $90 including shipping for 3 iPhone Chanel cases and never received my order! No response from the company after repeated attempts. Please don't get scammed and save yourself the grief and money.

We purchased software that came without a sealed package. When we decided not to use the product and tried to return it they gave us the run around for 2 months before we finally gave up.
Don't deal with this company unless you want to throw your money away!

Beware of buying anything through Bonanza from Deal Brands. I spent endless time trying to get my money back after I returned a pair of sandals. Deal Brands simply would not respond to e-mails or issue a credit. Finally PayPal had to intervene and get me a refund.

EBay needs some competition and Bonanza is a good place to start. I have had free account with Bonanza for years and occasionally selling items. I love the layout and easy of uploading my postings from eBay too. I recommend it especially when you can us the site free.
Answer: Bonanza has an internal customer service department that can be contacted directly at [email protected], 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..
Answer: Hi Mark, Thanks for reaching out! We'd love the opportunity to make things right. If possible, can you please email us at [email protected] so we can better assist you? Sadly this review site does not provide much information for us to be able to locate your account. We appreciate your patience and look forward to hearing from you.
