BONANZA STILL FORCES PAYPAL.
I use PayPal and Stripe on Bonanza. Almost every buyers pays with Stripe now and that’s a good thing.
Stripe has lower fees and higher conversion rate.
Because PayPal is the oldest platform, the safest platform, and most secured platform. I’m with PayPal since 2002, used with my first website. PayPal is simply THE BEST. Period. No need anything else.
And that’s your excuse for robbing sellers of choice?
Sounds like Zigmund made an informed “choice,” as a seller…..He/she is likely not robbing his/her self…….If Zigmund’s business is doing well (as a seller) – why change?
Bonanza does NOT force PayPal, they now offer Stripe for everyone.
Yes they actually do. They force sellers to accept PayPal. They took away offline methods a few years ago and won’t let you link a Stripe account without PayPal enabled. When I inquired about that, they lied about it being for buyer and seller protection. Sounds like they’re saying Stripe isn’t safe, which is a baffling position to take. Not only does Stripe offer the same buyer protection as every other processor, why would Bonanza offer something unsafe?
Thanks RKTOYS, if what you said is accurate, why do you care if they require PayPal to be enabled to offer Stripe? Buyers and sellers still get the benefit and the choice. Thank you
And as long as they take a HUGE CHUNK of my Shipping,
Not going back.
They are as Big a rip off as Ebay & Etsy.
eCrater Folks.
eCrater.
See You There.
“The End,” I challenge you to stand behind your comment using facts and data – RATHER THAN CAPS LOCK, to compare Bonanza with eBay and Etsy. My guess is that you won’t/can’t reply.
I’d challenge you to a battle of Wits, but you are unarmed.
Bonanza SUCKS as hard as Ebay and Etsy.
Now PISS OFF.
