Bonanza
Reviews and Complaints

Mark, I hope you're reading some of these comments. I had a store long ago that I closed due to moving away for medical treatment. Any shipping issues from when I was quite ill were resolved satisfactorily. I now have staff working for my store, have a very successful eBay business, and went back to Bonanza. After entering credit card info and paying $$$ was immediately suspended with no explanation and given no opportunity to respond or appeal. This is nonsense. My newest hire has just been tasked with pursuing the matter with the Better Business Bureau and legal counsel. What a shame that Bonanza has come to this. As a totally legitimate seller with a glowing reputation, I didn't try to mask my identity. Bonanza staff long ago were aware that I was closing shop due to serious medical issues and had indicated they looked forward to having me back. Not so, apparently. As there is nowhere to appeal unjustified "immediate suspensions, " we are forced to pursue other routes.

We are sorry that you had a not so good experience on Bonanza.com. Bonanza.com has over 25, 000 independent sellers (similar to eBay) who list their independent items for sale. It sounds like the seller who you made a purchase from was unable to fulfill the order. Based on your email it sounds like the seller is refunding the purchase. We apologize that this seller was unable to complete your order and hope that this incident does not cast a shadow over the rest of the Bonanza.com community. If you need additional assistance, please do contact us at support@bonanza.com

I've always been able to get negative feedback removed if it's inaccurate. There was once a week where I purged around five negative feedbacks. I would say give it another shot with a fresh e-mail to support. A different representative will probably help you out. Make sure to make your request polite and explain that the buyer's feedback is misleading and unreasonable.

I make about 6, 000 sales on ebay and about 3, 000 on amazon every month. I listed 8, 000 items on bonanza, spent about $2, 000 paying for some extra help and have a nice store on Bonanza. First, I had to paid for a pro membership because they were hiding my items from their searching engine. Later, that " Bonanza Mark" emailed me saying I had too many items on my booth and I was required to upgrade to their $300.00 monthly membership, otherwise, I would be suspended immediately. I told him I didn't think $300.00 was worth on bonanza since I was not making that many sales. I refused to pay $300.00 a month plus seller fees so Mark suspended one booth. At that time, we had two booths on Bonanza. A customer filled a case through the resolution center, I never got any notification about that specific case. One day, one of my employees tried to add more items when he find out our booth was on Hold. I emailed the customer ( I had to use his paypal email address ) and apologized for any inconvenience cause and we would send him the item for free and he would be getting a full refund. I even sent the customer a thank you note with a $25.00 start bucks card. For my surprise, that customer told me he never filed any case against me so who filled it then? Answer : Bonanza Bonanza resolution center is a joke, I refunded the customer, and I had to email Bonanza support asking why the case was still open ? They accused me of lying and saying I didn't have any intentions of refunding the customer. three days later, I send them a screen shot with the refund information. hahaha Bonanza Judy didn't beleive me again and wanted to have access to my paypal account. Omg I guess she was really high that day, there is not way, I will provide my paypal email address and password to a random person ( my PP had about $14, 000 at that time) They didn't want to close the case for two weeks and my account was suspended. After my account was suspended they charged me $98.00 on each card ( each booth had to different credit cards) I sent a email to support@bonanza.com and it went unanswered. I see mark is always saying email us attttt blah blah @bs.asss but they don't care. I had to file a complaint with my credit card issuer and a few weeks later, I got my money back .

Bonanza runs illegal business practices. People talk crap about ebay but they provide sales every day.

Another good site is Ioffer, they have a decent traffic every month as well and their fees are low. Customer service is not bad at all.

Thank you for reading my review, hope it helps. Do not waste your time and money on Bonanza. Worthless site for selling your items.

Agreed. These people post lies and Bonanza does nothing to investigate on it, instead they just close it without hesitation. They are full of shiz and garbage. Stay away from these frauds.

I agree..
I had same experience just like you.
My account is suspended without notification and explanation. I pay extra to be gold member for a year and they suspend my account.
They steal my money, bonanza.com thief!

LOl I got banned and we sold are own product that we make, What a POS .

No notice, just your logged out, who came up with that BS .

Honesty they need help, we sold close to nothing, but thats not the point,
what is wrong with them.

UGH>

Received a dead stick for $40 (supposedly a live tree). the seller clearly knew it was dead when they sent it — and who in the world chops off the leader stem of of something that is supposed to be a "tree".

Bonanza's separate email is stupid — you have to log on to bonanza just to see emails from the seller? their customer feedback system is coded to prohibit anything negative being submitted regarding bonanza or their sellers. I will never buy anything from this company ever again.

BONANZA is a sad sack place, I opened an account over 12 months back and couldn't get the import from Ebay to import, no matter how many different variations of the tick a box garbage worked, I have tried this on several occasions over the past year and still no go.
Everything is connected and synced to EBay but it just will not import the listings at all.
Im not going to sit and manually list hundreds of listings.

I agree. They hit you up with charges, don't refund seller fees for cancelations, etc. Worse than ebay. I'm closing my shop account down.

It's hilarious that people are still using Bonanza. Only grandmas and grandpas use that sad excuse of a retail website. Don't shop there unless you want your CC information stolen and your account closed. Go back to Ebay, at least they will welcome you all back with open arms.

Bonanza ABSOLUTELY s--ks...I've been on Bonanza since 2010
Seller support is basically non existing.Your emails to support go for days with no answer but they always find ways to make your booth unsuccessful and if you go to their forum or group help pages they will delete ANYTHING that is not favorable to Bonanza within minutes to hours but you are still waiting for tech support for DAYS.
They take well over 24 hours to propagate your products CSV file, sometimes days.So now you have outdated products that are out of stock while the new products wait to be qued or reviewed by their elves.
Now a customer comes in a buys an item that's not available causing you to have to refund the buyer.Then Bonanza gets pissed because they didn't make money off of you and threaten to close your booth if you continue to have stocking problems causing excessive refunds.
At least I DO refund clients when problems arise not like the many scammers on Bonanza that do NOT.
Fix the product upload problems and other problems your sellers are having and respond to them in a timely manner...I emailed them 3 days ago about this problem with no response but they took down my post in their forum within hours...you go figure what and who they care about the most...They ABSOLUTELY S--k and there is no money to be made here...

I tried sighing up for Bonanza but it wouldn't accept my email address and I tried several. I finally formatted one with a bonanza .Com hoping it would set up a new email account? That went through they took my card details and then it wouldn't let me go any further? Very confusing so I tried to back out..I believe bonanza has my credit card information and they better not bill me for anything or I will sue them..

Unbelievable. They wouldn't allow me to pay the $1.25 I owed, then they shut down my account for non payment. I emailed them asking for help and they told me to login and pay my balance. I cannot log in if my account is suspended. Is this site run by a 4 year old or what ?

Wow! I have never heard anyone stand up for ebay before. The only thing i can say is, I hear a lot of "selling you garbage", "selling your junk" etc. Maybe you might want to try selling something worthwhile. People only need so many paper clips and rubber bands. You sell something Good at a Good price and I will buy from you no matter where you are. Don't be so fu**in hard headed.

She probably would have been better selling it off eBay, but I guess she doesn't mind waiting 100 years for it to sell. LOL. Maybe once she drops dead, it'll finally be sold. But what's the point, right? LOL.

Butten not send me

Sold on Bonanza for a few years. Out of no where banned, and they will not respond to me. I was never given a reason or an email. I email once a week and they choose not to respond. I just want to know why I was banned? My successful business is their loss. Doing just fine on Ebay. AVOID THIS COMPANY!

Ordered series set on DVD to be delivered to my father. Set was sent from China addressed to his street and my city. DVD's were low quality, obviously recorded off of the television (some of the shows even had the Sci-Fi Channel logo on them!). DVD's came in paper sleeves stuck in an old Beta VHS case with poorly scanned case cover. Made 3 attempts to contact them and received no reply.

FOLLOWUP TIME !

I had the SAME problem! Unfortunately, I didn't look at the company before I ordered my DVD set. It was to be a Christmas give for my daughter (ordered on December 18) but I didn't recieve it until the end of January! And when I recieved it, it wasn't an "official" dvd set. It came directly from China in a crappy box, without any labels etc. The quality of the product is very poor as well. If I wanted this type of produce, I would have asked my husband to get it for me - he travels to China a few times a year. I can't believe this "company" is allowed to exist. Guess I will stick to Ebay from now on!

I just bought dvds from here, never even saw the complaints, overlooked.
I am highly ticked that i did'nt, and yes recorded from tvland or somewhere else.
This is such a rip off...i think they should be shut down.

I have had the same problem from this so called " Company " I have not heard back from EIGHT emails... even though they state they will reply within 24 to 48 hours. For all those that HAVENT had them delivered dont worry.. I actually DID get mine... only to have 7 of the DVD's .. NOT WORKING.
It was only when I bombarded them with emails ( just hitting resend about 20 times ) I actually got a response... NOT TO FIX MY PROBLEM... THT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO EASY ... JUST TO LET ME KNOW THAT MY EMAIL HAS NOW BEEN FLAGGED AS SPAM.
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE !
As a collector / dealer in signed memorabilia iu have also listed warnings on my website and reported them to other autograph dealer websites.

I too ordered from them. I received the DVD's but they are clearly homemade! There were no commercials as far as i could tell from fast forwarding them to check. It is/was christmas present for my 80 year old grandmother, so I may just give them to her, she wouldn't really mind. I have contacted them up to 10 times about returning them for poor quality and i get no response or them saying they will replace them. I don't know if I can go through my credit card company with this because 2 discs skip and say they are damaged. but do not do business with them,

I too purchased a dvd box set from tvdvdbonanza. The initial confirmation email stated that items were shipped on 12/22/09. I emailed them on 1/8/10 stating that as of yet I did not receive item. I finally got them yesterday. They didn't ship until 12/8. I almost wish that I didn't get them. They are bootlegged and the worst part is that they skip, stick and part way through the dvd player decides that the disc can't be read. they were recorded from the ABC Family Channel and shipped from China. I just sent another email stating my problem. I may just see if I can dispute the charge on my card. Does anyone know who to report the selling of bootlegged items to?

I too orderend from tvdvdbonanza.com on 12-21-09. They processed my card and got their money along with this internationl fee. It is now 1-12-10 and i have yet to recieve my dvds. I recieved three different confirmation emails on two seperate days saying my order had been shipped on both december 22 and 23. I have emailed this place multiple times and have yet to recieve a response.
