Shopee just announced an hour ago due to MCO that they're going to start charging extra 2% (plus 6% SST on top) commission for PREFERRED and PREFERRED+ sellers, non-preferred sellers extra 1% (plus 6%)

So now if you see product RM100 and the seller is preferred with RM15 free shipping & coin cashback, the amount Shopee takes is

RM100 minus 2.12% payment fee minus 6.12% programme fee minus 2.12% new COMISSION fee

Cost of selling RM100 product = RM10.36, seller only get RM89.

Typical margin for selling RM100 product without factoring in packaging + overhead cost is only 15%. After factoring in running costs, sell RM100 product u untung RM5 also consider lucky already.

So for what cock seller want to maintain prices and their preferred title? spit at shopee seriously

Key takeaway - IF SELLER DO GOOD SERVICE GOOD CONDUCT, SELLER WILL GET PREFERRED SELLER, BUT PREFERRED SELLER MEANS NEED TO PAY MORE COMMISSION TO SHOPEE. THE MESSAGE SHOPEE IS TELLING SELLERS IS THAT IF YOU DO GOOD SERVICE, WE WILL CHARGE YOU MORE!

Why 'due to mco'? if no MCO no comission fees?

change platform lo

Is norm. Once a company have enough userbase it will hike price.

MCO has been Malaysia's best excuse since "traffic jam"

So? Not like the sellers can ran away and stick with lazada or return to mortar brick store.

Actually...quite expensive yo
It's like comm for 10% if you want to advertise in Shopee if you want Preferred programme.
Seller let's hike up the price!

we need a new suckpee

We need Anti-Monopoly Law

No.

You think from one side only.
Me as consumer I will always filter for Preferred sellers.

There's PrestoMall, Lesapzada, and Lelong...

The platform may have huge number of shoppers, but competition is stiff too because many people are selling the same stuff. While riding on a marketplace, do invest some time and effort to build own store front.

Exactly. Like buying from trusted brand instead of some random fella.
Except this case its on the seller.

The reputable and good brands will remain. Scalpers and resellers will come and go...

Wanna ask those shopee sellers.... U prefer me bought from u using shopee or lazada?

I noticed some got 2 platforms with different products pricing
