Setup Limitations on Who Can Buy from You
Sometimes, sellers are inclined to make certain restrictions on the types of buyers that they will allow to buy from their store. Below we'll briefly describe the options that Bonanzle provides to allow sellers to specify their buyer requirements.
 | All options are specified on the "Advanced Booth Options" page. Click "Sell" and then click on the rightmost tab, labeled "Advanced Options." Be sure to click "Save all Options" after you change your buyer requirements. |
Require minimum level of feedback to make an offer
If this options is checked, a buyer will need to have an overall feedback score (= positive feedback minus negative feedback) no less than you specify for them to be able to propose an offer to you.
If you allow buyers to purchase items via "Buy now," this will not restrict "Buy now" sales. The reasoning behind this is that
- Items purchased via "Buy now" won't be taken out of your booth until payment is received for them, so you bear no risk of being subject to a non-paying buyer
- A vast majority of Bonanzle's buyer traffic comes from random buyers on Google, and if a buyer with 0 feedback was unable to buy items on Bonanzle, you would lose the vast majority of potential overall buyers (not to mention the negative impression they'd leave with, thinking Bonanzle is marketplace that considers buyers "guilty until proven innocent")
Require buyer to have item shipped within your country
If the buyer tries to have the item shipped outside your country, they won't be able to buy from you. Note that, unless you have setup international shipping rules, buyers will already be unable to buy items via "Buy now" if they're outside your country, but they could still propose an offer to you. If this option is checked, they would be unable to propose such an offer.
Ignore buyers
This gives you the option to select specific users that you do not sell to, for whatever reason. When the buyer tries to checkout from your store, they'll be given a message that you're not currently accepting offers.
