Bonanzle I have previously had a store at eBay, a few at other sites,
and then ended up setting up my own store on the web. I really liked
having my own stand alone store, so why move to Bonanzle? Bonanzle
has so many great benefits that I won't be able to list them all, but
here are a few that come to mind... 1. I just do not have the
time to do all of my own promoting. My own stand alone store means
doing all of my own promoting. It is up to me and me only to bring
customers to my store. Listing my items on Bonanzle means I am part of
a marketplace and that while doing my own marketing will surely help
me, it is not up to me entirely. I can spend more of my time making
things and working on my stores, which I like to do best. 2.
Bonanzle is simple, and simple means saving time. The listing and
editing process is quick and easy even with dial-up, and that's a big
plus for me! 3. The Bonanzle team is dedicated to making
Bonanzle a great place to buy and sell. Bonanzle has great potential
and is growing fast! Bonanzle has some great features I haven't seen
anywhere else, making it a fun place to be!! 4. I love the fee
structure at Bonanzle. No listing fees or monthly fees (unless you
choose to upgrade)... only final value fees on the items that sell.
This allows me freedom to list a larger inventory of items with a wider
variety of choices. 5. I also like the advantage of Bonanzle
that I also had at my own online store, but many marketplaces such as
eBay, etc. do not... the ability for a customer to make a purchase
without registering. This is important to me! I don't like to register
at every place I buy on the internet, and don't want my customers to
have to either.

While there are some things I'd still like to see improved upon in the future, I am very happy here. SynthaSite is growing and changing by leaps and bounds. I've seen many improvements in the time I've been here. Some of the reasons I prefer SynthaSite to other web hosting sites are: 1. Free without annoying ads. Yes, you read that right. There is no cost to using SynthaSite, and there is no ads on your website as there is with other free sites. 2. Unlimited space available for whatever you want to put on your website. No bandwidth or storage limits! Unbelievable for a free site! 3. Their templates are very customizable. This was not so a short time ago when I started here, but they have made great improvements in this area recently. They have taken care of one of the main drawbacks for me with this, making me no longer hesitate about whether or not this is the place for me. The banners are also quite large compared to many sites, giving you much freedom in designing your logo/banner to suit your individual site and make it unique. 4. Simple to set up and use. No html or css knowledge needed to have a great looking site! I previously learned a good deal of html to be able to customize other sites. Not needed here! The time saved from fooling with all of that can be better spent elsewhere. (However, there is simple access to the html for each page for those who do want to tweak things or do things completely with html.) 5. You can have multiple sites at SynthaSite, all connected with one username and password, so you only have to log in once to access all of your sites from one place. Oh, how I love simplicity! Again... I'm only listing a few of the reasons why SynthaSite is the place to be to set up your own site on the web. Come and see for yourself and give it a try... www.synthasite.com.
