Bonanzle Fees: Simple, and Locked In Through 2010 For Current Users 
First of all, any cash-based transaction is and will continue to be free on Bonanzle. For transactions on Bonanzle that are closed through other forms of payment, such as Paypal, Money Order, and Google Checkout, here is our pricing, which, if you're signed up and reading this, we guarantee will not increase for you through 2010.
Price to post items for sale (including up to four pictures): FREE.
All prices below are based on the Final Offer Value (FOV). This is the price of your accepted offer, plus any shipping for the offer that exceeds $10. See examples below if you have questions.
| Final Offer Value 1 | Fee |
| Less than $10 | $0.50 ($0 if registered during beta) |
| Less than $50 | $1 |
| Less than $100 | $3 |
| Less than $1000 | $5 |
| $1000 or more | $10 |
We hope you won't miss mathematically complex percentage-based pricing calculations when determining how much it will cost to sell your items.
Pricing Examples
You negotiate with a buyer to sell five of your items for a total of $30 plus $10 shipping. Your total FOV is $40 - $10 = $30, so your total fee is $1.
A buyer buys three of your items for $95. The total shipping for the offer is $14. Your FOV is $109 - $10 = $99, so your total fee is $3.
You sell one item in an offer for $500. You charge $600 for shipping. Your FOV is $1100 - $10 = $1090. You pay $10.
The Fine Print
- We may choose to offer optional advanced selling features (for example, the ability to view advanced statistics on your items) at a price in the future. However, any non-free features that we choose to add will be purely optional, that is, you won't have to pay for them to be able to sell on Bonanzle.
- We reserve the right to lower our prices before 2010 if our costs allow it.
- For the purposes of computing your FOV, it doesn't matter if you close your offer through negotiation or with "Buy Now"
