Bonanza Tuning the Rush

Alex Berg of Bonanza.com released some of the things they have done and are going to be adjusting in the Rush events.
Hi everyone. Thanks for all the feedback on our new Rush functionality! As I mentioned a few times before we launched, Rushes are going to require some tinkering over time. I thought I would share some of our top findings which are based on stats, live feedback in the Rush chats, reviews of forum threads, and user testing with 'new to Bonanza' users. Here's a quick snapshot of our top 'take-aways' from the feedback thus far.

And the Rush Events are getting some major attention AuctionBytes and TechFlash published articles about it..

Shipping calculator at Bonanza

Bonanza.com is adding a new shipping calculator that will carry a $0.20 fee per listing.

Sellers can continue to use Bonanza's current shipping calculator. Those who want to use the new calculator must pay a fee of 20 cents per item listed - the charge will be included in sellers' monthly bills. Sellers will be allowed to incorporate the shipping calculator cost into the shipping estimate itself, adding 20 cents to the buyer's estimate so the seller doesn't pay the cost.




Bonanza is waiting for AucitonInc.com final approval before putting the new calculator into production.
