What will bonanzle be like in next 3 years ? Big version of Etsy or small version of eBay

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?

Bonanzle membership - Google Analytic

I just registred as a plus member on Bonanzle. Now i can track my traffic using Google Analytic. I think it is very useful tool if you are a serious seller. By using Google Analytic i can track my visitors not just from Bonanzle site or forum but also from other sources.



First of all you have to register with Google Analytic , get the code and paste in to the given field for Google Analytic user account on your Bonanzle admin.Wait for an 1 hour then it will start tracking your Bonanzle Booth.

It will cost you $10 a month. If you ask me " is it really worth it to use the tool?" i would say definitely yes. Instead of having an ability to track your traffic using analytic you will also get few benefits from it such as

• Eligibility to be a featured booth is: on.
• Items featured in item searches: no, requires premier membership.
• Items twice as likely to show on home page: no, requires premier membership.
• Profile star is activated.

If you are not yet registered for plus member , do it now!!!
