some people almost immediately some takes a while longer
Sales here are going to come from links back to your store, either through google shopping (did you opt to have your items listed in google…under advertising). Are your items even in google yet??
Check for your items in google
Go to Selling Dashboard
Reports
Select feed diagnostics
Click on your Account ID number
It will take you to your items listed in google
Do you use social media (twitter, pinterest, FB business page) to have links back to your store…
Unlike ebay or amazon, where buyers go to search for item, here you have to bring your buyers through promotions…
Also..probably a little more information in your listings…there essentially is no description at all
here are some tips

My sales happened within the first week, though, most likely because I already had a client base on a similar site before activating my booth here. It helps if you list as many items as possible for diversity. More items can help lead to more sales. Good luck to you!

I sold my first week. and sales have been rather decent. for some reason its mostly the higher priced items that are selling for me. I think there’s a lot of rich ppl here on bonanza :))
I really like this place. I would love it if the had phone support. and they prolly will get phone support idk. but things have been good enough for me I’m going to get the subscription either today or tomorrow. I figure if my selling is pretty good with the base store then i’ll try the subscription and see if sales increase

It took me a little while because I had come from a place where I liked to sell but Bonanza was free and since I’ve had to make this a hobby now I could not commit to paying a fee where I was before…………but when starting to list on Bonanza, I was still torn whether I should stay where I was at before or stay here. Basically I halfheartedly listed at first to the point of a few listings here and there.
Once I let go and started listing more consistently I got a sale.
Right now most of my inventory is on reserve because I had to make some changes within my listings…at least this time it is not because I am in limbo though. This is my new home now.
Increasing the chance of a sale also has to do with thinking of areas of improvement (thinking outside of the box) and working on those.
Best of luck to you.

If you set up a free page for your store on Facebook, with a link back to your booth , you will get more views than about anything else. (Shhhh… you can also set up an independent selling page on FB for free)

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
