An Alternative To EBay Called Bonanzle
56Many people these days are finding that eBay is a great way to make money. An even better way to make money is on Bonanzle. The listing fees are never more than $10.00! List 4 pictures for an item free. Unlike eBay, you do not have to pay a fee to list as many details about the item as you want! eBay is nice, but you have to pay for extra pictures, you only get one photo free, and you have to pay extra to add additional information. And the listing fees can be VERY expensive. Listing on Bonanzle is FREE, you only pay no more than $5 ONLY IF YOUR ITEM SELLS!!!!
Straight from Bonanzle.com, I have provided some of their terms and FAQ's:
What is Bonanzle?
Bonanzle is an online marketplace for buying and selling items faster while having more fun. Our specialty is helping you buy and sell items that aren't shiny, new, and mass-produced. The principle of relentless simplicity drives our easy-to-use yet powerful user experience.
What does it cost to use Bonanzle?
Don't you hate how it usually takes five or more pages of clicking around marketplace sites to get a straight answer on this question? Here's the scoop: Buying on Bonanzle is free. Posting items for sale is free (including pictures). When you sell items, here is what you'll owe (Hint: it's about one-third what you might be used to paying elsewhere).
How much traffic does this site get? How many items are here?
More and more all the time. As of February 2009, more than half a million different people visit Bonanzle every month. More than one million items are currently for sale. According to Ecommerce Guide, these numbers make Bonanzle's start one of the fastest ever (similar to the beginning of eBay, except for the totally different economy and level of competition).
How do I register?
Like this. It's four fields.
What does Bonanzle's slogan "Find Everything but the Ordinary" mean?
Glad you asked. You can read all about it here.
Is Bonanzle a real word?
It is now. And it's a verb. Bonanzle combines the wealth and excitement inherent in Bonanza (a large pocket of valuable mineral, or a source of prosperity), and the action implicit in -le (as in babble, burble, bustle). To Bonanzle is to spend quality time at an online space buying and selling goods, and meeting people.
Is Bonanzle being marketed to the public? How?
Yeah... about that.
What is a Bonanza?
At Bonanzle, a Bonanza is a short-term super-sale. Once a month (if you're good) we'll let you dominate the Buy page with your wonderful presence. You choose the time to put your goods up for sale. We direct traffic to your booth. Magic happens.

First of all, any cash-based transaction is and will continue to be free on Bonanzle. For transactions on Bonanzle that are closed through other forms of payment, such as Paypal, Money Order, and Google Checkout, here is our pricing, which, if you're signed up and reading this, we guarantee will not increase for you through 2010.
Price to post items for sale (including up to four pictures): FREE.
All prices below are based on the Final Offer Value (FOV). This is the price of your accepted offer, plus any shipping for the offer that exceeds $10. See examples below if you have questions.
Final Offer Value 1 FeeLess than $10 $0.50 ($0 if registered during beta)Less than $50 $1Less than $100 $3Less than $1000 $5$1000 or more $101 Whether a buyer wants to buy one or more of your items, they are sold as part of an offer, so our fees are per offer that you accept. Thus, you only pay when you sell items.
We hope you won't miss mathematically complex percentage-based pricing calculations when determining how much it will cost to sell your items.
How do I pay my fees?
Pricing Examples
You negotiate with a buyer to sell five of your items for a total of $30 plus $10 shipping. Your total FOV is $40 - $10 = $30, so your total fee is $1.
A buyer buys three of your items for $95. The total shipping for the offer is $14. Your FOV is $109 - $10 = $99, so your total fee is $3.
You sell one item in an offer for $500. You charge $600 for shipping. Your FOV is $1100 - $10 = $1090. You pay $10.
The Fine Print
- We may choose to offer optional advanced selling features (for example, the ability to view advanced statistics on your items) at a price in the future. However, any non-free features that we choose to add will be purely optional, that is, you won't have to pay for them to be able to sell on Bonanzle.
- We reserve the right to lower our prices before 2010 if our costs allow it.
- For the purposes of computing your FOV, it doesn't matter if you close your offer through negotiation or with "Buy Now"
- Bonanzle :: Buy and sell unique items with the friendliest community online.
