What Will Bonanzle be like in next 3 years ? Imagine Bonanzle already reached 10 million users by that time. The market is so busy and even those 2 founders wont have hands to handle all users by themselves. They hire hundreds of Customer service officers and build a very beautiful office in California.
What will it be like then ? Will Bonanzle could hold it's community sense like Etsy does but in a major scale of size or Bonanzle will become pain in the ass platform like eBay does who loves its shareholders more than its users.
What will it be like?

Automatic download feature : Selling ebooks and softwares on bonanzle
I am very happy to see an exponentially growth of Bonanzle. In few months they already hit almost 1 million items under the roof. However most of the item listings on bonanzle are tangible products. It would be cool if Bonanzle can add automatic download feature for virtual items like ebooks and softwares on their platform. I can bet we will see a big scale of sellers migration from eBay if the feature is available on Bonanzle. Even If we look at other competitors like e-crater and blujay , none of these marketplaces have this particular feature and it would be great advantage for Bonanzle to compete in the industry. What do you think?

Can you possibly sell expensive items on Bonanzle?
I did some research on items sold on Bonanzle last night. Since Bonanzle is still new , many of us still thinking that we can only manage to sell few penny items here. However what i found on the handbags category really astonishing. I filtered items sold for the price range of 1000-2000 dollars for the keyword handbags tadaaa!! all these items suddenly appeared on my screen.
please click on the image to enlarge.
They are thousands of dollar worth of handbags sold up to date. The conclusion is they are lots of buyers are ready to spend their big money here . If you want to list expensive items just go a head because nothing is impossible on Bonanzle.

Yes!! i am bonanzle addicted
When i woke up this morning , the first thing i did was logon to my bonanzle account hoping for the second sale. I can be on bonanzle 9-10 hours straight without regret .why am i so addicted to this new market place.
The first reason because it's community. You feel like you deal with a living person not with heartless robot that want to suck your money everytime they had a chance.
The second reason
sales are good here. Reports of completed transactions coming from all over the country. For 19000 users that can generate that kind of sales , it is pretty impressive.
The third reason
We can sell without worry , you will not be suspended without reason.
The fourth reason
Everything relatively easy , even my granny knows how to use bonanzle.
These are 4 main reasons why i cannot live without bonanzle because everyday i need to bonanzling or i will depress to the death.

Do you think set shipping charges as flatrate is a good idea?
I have been exploring bonanzle for a week already and i found out putting shipping charges as flat rate going to cause me problem in the future. As for me im selling instant food like noodle and seasoning powder which is the weight of products are various.
If buyer wants to purchase 2 items and unfortunately the first item is the small one which is less in weight and second item is the big one and heavy then i have to charge him/her the correct shipping charges for the small item but i have to charge less for the heavy item because of combine shipping discount.
For example , i set the shipping charges USD 2 for additional item.
The shipping cost for the first item is USD 3
The shipping cost for the second item is USD 5
total shipping cost should be USD 8
but as i put the combine discount as USD 2 for additional item then i can only charge the shipping cost for USD 5. I already lose USD 3 for shipping charges.
The best solution is to check with your local shipping company and charge buyers according to the weight of the item not the quantity of the item. I think it is safer that way to avoid you from losing money.
