Online marketplace Bonanza announced today that it celebrated its one millionth registered user this week. To celebrate, sellers organized a give-away contest to promote their stores, with over a hudred sellers offering gifts for the one millionth member. <\/p>\n

The company, formerly Bonanzle, says it has seen steady growth in membership, traffic and revenue since launching in 2008. It attributes this mainly to its fee structure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re happy to let Amazon and eBay argue over whose pricing scheme is \u2018best for sellers,\u2019\u201d said CEO Bill Harding. \u201cMeanwhile, our fees average 70% lower than theirs. We aim to make selling online simple enough for my grandma to do it, and yes,
\nthat ‘one million’ number includes Grandma Harding.\u201d<\/p>\n

eBay announced<\/a> last week that it is launching free listings for all sellers. <\/p>\n

In 2010, Bonanzle acquired artisan merchandise site 1000 Markets<\/a> and changed its name to Bonanza. The combined company would take aim more at Etsy than eBay, specializing in “unique and non-mass-produced items”. <\/p>\n

Etsy had 1,025,124 new members join in February<\/a> alone. The site saw 1.49 billion page views during the month. <\/p>\n
