Is this a sinking ship???
So I put my 8,000 items on vacation in anticipation of May 2. A week ago I activated 48 items to stay under the stated limit for the $.03 listing charge. All 48 went directly to “under review” status. I now have 59 items under review (11 have been under reveiew for weeks). Correct me if I’m wrong but this looks like a train wreck.

Already sank.
No one has answered any emails or questions on this board about the fees.

Bonanza is on autopilot. The help desk is now all AI driven, and if you get a response back at all, the response you get doesn’t help.

The site is still here just to collect fees from sellers. New, unknowing sellers keep joining every day, so even if those of us who have been here a while leave in droves, Bonanza will still get enough start-up booth fees and listing fees from hopeful newbies who try selling here until they too jump ship and another group of hopefuls join.

Which blog is it. What’s the title to this blog. The last blog I see is from 29 days ago? Thanks

Fortress_Lemonade says: April 24, 2025

it’ s in the latest one from March something about how they are upgrading their website security & “Booth Specific Advertising”, seems the A.I. is determining ‘WHO’ gets advertised & ‘WHAT’ gets responded too…..or maybe i’m wrong, but it sure writes neat-o Shopping Blog posts.. :)

Honestly I don’t think it is a sinking ship. I am thinking that sites like Bonanza are just having to seriously change focus to stay afloat. Temu and Shein have eaten all online sellers alive. I don’t see the site going poof, but I believe that staffing has been scaled back a lot just because it’s a lot harder to operate in this environment now without a new business model. It’s not going to be for a lot of people.
