I am once again working on opening a new online store.  Not an auction site, but a real storefront type place.  I have one store on another site, but I don’t want to put all my eggs into one basket, so to speak.  So, I’ve been doing some research into different sites and have found one that I think is a pretty good place.  The site is called Bonazle.com and it seems decent, which is why I went ahead and created my own booth called Prairied Treasures.

One of the things I look for is base price.  I’m a bottom-line-it kinda person.  The thing I like about this site is that there are no fees for listing items.  You can add as many items to your personal page as you want, without having to pay for little things like adding pictures and such.  As far as ending fees, there are some but they’re not bad.  They way they figure ending costs is by combining the total for the product and the shipping costs.  Anything under $10 will cost 50 cents.  From $10 to $50 will cost $1, and so on.  The high end is that anything over $1000 will cost you $10.

Another feature of this site is the option to have Bonanzas.  This is a super mini auction that can last anywhere from 1-3 hours.  Though I doubt I’ll be using this feature anytime soon, it’s a great way to bring in extra sales for those who enjoy the auction atmosphere.

The one thing I like most about this site is that you can choose your selling options.  You can only sell to those in your own country, or choose International shipping.  They also give you several ideas on how to promote your site to bring in more customers.  Plus, there is a great forum area filled with like-minded sellers who are more than happy to help you along.

So, if you’re looking for a place to set up shop, or you’re just looking for a place to start doing your Christmas shopping, I recommend checking out Bonazle.com.  And while you’re there, be sure to stop by my booth and say hi.
