"I called Bonanza and I heard them playing Ping Pong!"
Bill's Grandpa and Bill pretending to play Ping Pong
It's true. Managed Merchants on Bonanza have access to our live telephone support line that is answered by a real human between the hours of 9am and 5pm (PST), Monday through Friday. So if you call, do not be surprised if you hear a ping pong battle (lol investors, we are totally kidding! It's actually a recording of a ping pong game, so that they think we are a lean start up) or a Scategories game in progress. New merchants are given the option to be a Managed Merchant upon creating their booth. Existing merchants can sign up via their "Sales Booster Dashboard" linked on your My Bonanza page. The support number is located on the "Contact" page which is linked at the footer of each Bonanza page.
No matter where you sell at online, the pending Google changes that Bill blogged about in May have been on many minds, including ours. We wanted to let you know that we are feverishly working on several initiatives on Bonanza to compensate for any inconvenience from Google Shopping moving to a 100% paid model on October 1st, 2012. While we are not able to discuss the specifics with you, we are hoping to have one of the features launched by the end of August and the other feature launched by the end of September, if not sooner.
Bonanza merchants do not like to sit idle. With all of the Google Shopping hoopla you are probably wondering what you can be doing to put yourself in the best possible position to realize sales. In regards to Google, we would highly recommend that you:
- Make sure that your listings have no missing Unique Product Identifiers (UPC or Brand/MPN Numbers)
- Make sure that you have no capitalized titles (ALL CAPS in titles are against Google's publishing policies)
- Make sure that your title keywords are within the first 70 characters of your title (Google will truncate titles beyond 70 characters)
- Make sure that your titles and descriptions are high quality. Relevant titles and quality descriptions are key.
We also have a page on Bonanza that we are constantly updating that will provide you with tips and a wealth of information on how to increase your sales on Bonanza. We will be sure to keep you posted as more information becomes available. Now if I can just figure out how to beat Jordan at a game of Ping Pong the world will be a better place!

Here’s an “Out Of Office” for ya -
http://soundjax.com/reddo/51374%5EPingPong.mp3 xD xD xD !
I just knew you guys have been working on this….We are counting on you~ If playing ping pong helps you come up with idea’s & solutions, then play on~
I feel a little relieved to get the confirmation from the main office…
It’s good to know you guys are on the job — in between ping pong battles, that is. LOL
Seriously, though, I also knew you guys had to be working on something behind the scenes for us. Come October 1st, the domino effect this will have will become apparent, so it really is good to know that you guys have a plan.
A rousing ping pong game gets the blood flowing—and the ideas!
Ping Pong is SRS BSNS. But not as SRS as Pong™. That REALLY brings out the competitive side in people.
Great info, as a newbie, I was worried that the google issue would kill my business here before I got started, nice to know you have something in the works. I look forward to finding out your plans!
I don’t mind if you play ping-pong all day, as long as you’re working toward a real solution! I love Bonanza and want to stay here and sell my stuff!
The Google issue is an important one for sellers. I’m also looking forward to reviewing your plan. As far as the ping-pong thing, I’ll have to make the call and hear for myself.
Hey guys, “Managed Merchants” is already part of the plan. I guess I don’t really understand the benefits. I know I signed up and am being charged higher rates, but how come no email confirming this and telling me what to do next???? Communicate, please!
Here is a link that will explain all of the benefits of this program:
http://www.bonanza.com/site_help/booths_setup/managed_merchant_faq
We are always looking for ways to improve this program as well. Not sure why you did not receive a success message but we will surely have a look on our side.
I’m still so curious to know if we will continue to be seen in GPS….if this is part of Bonanza’s plan somehow in conjunction with Lexity or what else is going on in the works? Thanks for working hard on trying to get better results for the site as a whole. I’m really wanting to ask that if we are not going to be in GPS at all, if you could please go ahead and let us know. If you cannot not share this at this time, I understand but if you think it is possible to let us know, please share.
