At a glance
Bonanza Fee % of Revenue shows what share of your booth revenue Bonanza keeps as marketplace fees. Bonanza’s Final Offer Value (FOV) is around 3.5% on Bonanza-only sales, the lowest headline rate among major US marketplaces. When this gauge reads well above that 3.5% baseline, it usually means you opted into Bonanza’s advertising or promotion program, which raises the effective fee. Track it so you always know your true cost of selling on the platform.
Calculation
Vortex IQ sums the Bonanza fees applied to your sales over the window and divides by gross revenue for the same period, then expresses the result as a percentage. Because Bonanza’s headline FOV sits around 3.5% on Bonanza-only sales, a reading close to that is expected for a booth selling purely through Bonanza. Advertising and promotional placements add cost on top, lifting the effective percentage. See the At a glance summary above for the baseline and the worked example below for a typical reading.Worked example
A representative reading of Bonanza Fee % of Revenue for a typical merchant on Bonanza. On 14 Mar 26 a booth turned over 4,200 dollars in gross sales and paid 210 dollars in Bonanza fees, putting the gauge at 5.0% versus 3.6% in the prior period. That jump above the ~3.5% FOV baseline tipped past the 5% alert, and the cause was a promotional placement opt-in that lifted the effective rate on featured items. The action was to review whether the extra exposure justified the added fee, then keep the promotion only on high-margin listings. Vortex Mind traces the upstream cause, here the advertising opt-in, and Ask Viq lets you ask “which listings drove the fee increase last month” in plain English.Sibling cards merchants should reference together
Reconciling against Bonanza
Where to look in Bonanza’s own dashboard: Open your booth dashboard and check the payments and payout history area, where Bonanza itemises Final Offer Value fees and any advertising or promotion charges per sale. Sum those against revenue for the same dates to confirm the percentage. Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:
