What happens to a Bonanza account when someone dies

“Further, you also agree not to transfer or sell your account (including feedback) or User ID.”¹

Bonanza states it has "no hand in the financial part of a transaction": buyers pay sellers directly, and Bonanza places no holds on payments. A deceased seller's sale proceeds sit in the connected PayPal, Stripe or Amazon Pay account.²

New Stripe accounts go through a 7-day verification window before payout, and later payouts to US-based sellers run on a rolling 2-day schedule; these are ordinary payout mechanics, not an estate process.²

Bonanza Tokens are the only balance Bonanza holds. They are not redeemable for cash, have no cash or monetary value and do not constitute a property right or interest.¹

All Tokens terminate upon any termination of the membership, so closing the account ends them.¹

The account cannot be transferred or sold, so a booth cannot be handed to an heir; anyone who wants to keep selling the inventory opens and operates their own account.¹

Under the fee table effective May 1, 2025, the Final Value Fee is at least 11 percent of the Final Offer Value, with a $0.50 minimum and a flat 1.5 percent on the portion of an order above $4,000.³

Active listings above 50 carry a listing fee of $0.03 per item per month, capped at $20 per month.³

A flat 25-cent transaction fee applies to every completed sale; sellers with a Bonanza membership subscription are exempt.⁴

Every seller account must keep a credit or debit card on file. Fees are due on the 2nd of the following month once the balance reaches $3.00, and are charged automatically once it reaches $25 or $100.⁵

For sellers with fewer than 5 completed sales, 3 or fewer consecutive months of Final Value Fees paid, or a most recent sale more than 60 days ago, Final Value Fees are charged to the card when a buyer places an order.⁵

A seller who owes more than $3.00 at the beginning of the month is invoiced with payment due within 30 days, and Bonanza reserves the right to collect past-due fees by charging the seller's card on file.¹

Sellers have up to 180 days from the date of the transaction to request a Final Value Fee refund; requests outside 180 days are not honored.¹

A paid Bonanza membership subscription keeps billing until it is cancelled.^{5, 3}
