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

shopee, lapsapda a lot of scammer n customer service bodo to the max

usually when a platform starts monopoly the market all kinds of bullshit will start appearing

i think shopee knows they have the numbers better than lazada

lazada got

Recently some minister said want to build local e-commerce platform kan?

U haven't factor in the cost u need to hire someone respond to chat within 12 hours regardless working hour inc weekend & PH.

Depends. A lot of sellers have problem with lazada due to shipping partner they cannot choose. If LEL express, need to drop off at Mail Box Etc. and sadai there for up to 2-3 days without movement.

Most sellers I know mark up their prices on Lazada so that it could dissuade them from ordering there.

Ultimately those who have B&M operations still prefer if you come to shop direct buy.

6% sst back to govt. Like it or not, they saw huge income in ecommerce.

I notice the price at shopee is more expensive than lazada on same seller...

Is he hinting me to buy with him at lazada?

ok gonna increase my price to get back the offset

Garage sale kan ada

U tak suka, u keluar ke Lazada

overall my online shopping experience is better with lazada. lazada seems to be more "sincere" with no hidden prices, auto voucher applied etc. Search and filtering also better with lazada apps.

In shopee have to manually select the voucher and also those coins only can get/use for selected items.

i also experience better pricing with lazada.

See how competition is good? You cannot have a single superpower controlling the world or everyone will kena one.

there is no monopoly. So fair game. How is PGmall doing ?
But i notice more sellers opting out of free shipping on shopee.

Lapsapda can choose courier or not?

Yes, sellers please increase price to offset, so that can persuade buyers to go somewhere else and buy.

everything done with their own LEL/LEX or whatever u wanna call it. dropoff at MBE, they use their own outsource to send it.

ALL SELLING SAME ITEMS WILL CHOOSE THE CHEAPEST ONE

so far courier service is good, maybe cos im in klang valley, LEX so far been acceptable, not fantastic but ok.

Ngam!

As customers I find that I am going back to lazada past 6+ months. Its due to no free shipping unless I activate shopeepay. Shopee is restricting customers too. Now suddenly lazada smart gimmick they have free shipping.

ya, i was impressed with all the discount throw in during their recent birthday sale. 4.4 shopee really lousy compared to that.

same, i went back to Lazada lately thanks to their cheaper shipping or free shipping lately.

This one definitely gonna affect everyone la dey those especially those high value margin low somemore sure gg...bodo shopeeeeeee

Then u will see less sellers giving freee shipping n coin cash back, subsidize the commission lo

because of this I need to pay extra few k to Shopee monthly. With this extra expenses I can hire 2 more staffs!

no wonder now tons of seller jump ship from PREFERRED seller to normal seller.

MCO affects online shopping ? that's new

use shopeepay

i'm just a buyer. so dun give a fak. whoever give lowest price i will buy from them, lasapda or shitpee

#boycott boycott

I will not activate shopeepay or lazada wallet. I don't want any refund return there.

refund seem will reverse back to the payment method you use. Anyhow last time still got RM8~Rm15 free money if you activate lazada wallet. Shopee pay got free money if you active it? Seem no, only free shipping voucher macam tahi.

Easy. Open a new shop after the 100th order.

IIRC, last time Shopee gained market because most seller migrate form Lapsapdah for their higher commissions margin.

Now it’s Lapsaprah2.0 all over again.

habis la tutuyao punya class nak ajar newbie how to venture sopee and ladaza.
after this cannot break even liao
even u also said can hire 2 more staffs

Unfortunately on Laz if use pay via bank transfer if refund will go to its wallet. Not sure about other payment method. As for shopee, thankfully it is not as such, yet.

No wonder there is sharp drop of traffic before... seems like their shitty algorithm skewed to other side. zzzzz.

Then rating back to 0

alot of promo
and shopee coins

hopefully will off set abit if got price increase
in the meantime, will be more hardworking in my farm today onwards

Increase commission but Shopee Express super slow lately for me in Penang

So...... Shopee is starting to be greedy eh. Time to change platform

Shopee need to find way to reduce losses mah

Anyway from Customer's perspective, i'll choose preferred seller due to free shipping and higher coin cashback. For seller that 1% increase should be fine for them.

mudah je

honeymoon period is over

most annoying thread of the day..



Ryzen Finally Beats Intel become best CPU on market now, pricing also up.
TS : AMD new bullshit!


Proton X50/X70 finally consider competitive product from Proton, pricing up to 100k++
TS : Proton new bullshit!!


Shopee now the Malaysia Top favorite Online Marketplace. Charge more platform fee.
TS : Shopee new bullshit!!!





noob. plotek mode tak habis habis

Where got? See Amazon... even retail price cannot compete with Amazon price.. sure lose

how about oversea seller? what is their rate?

Instead Amazon introduces their own Amazon basic lineups to kill their own merchants

nah

Its ok to want to earn more but using MCO as excuse is laughable. E-commerce shud be the sector benefits the most from MCO

All these stupid coins only for works for preferred sellers....but so few wants to become preferred and here comes another jab from shopee

fuuh, it does cost them A TON OF $$$$ for marketing and advertising every freaking month, 2.2 3.3 4.4 5.5 6.6 7.7 8.8....u get the drillz
burning through piles of $$$$ for free shipping

Preferred sellers allows use of coins.

U just hike your price. At the end of the day if people not happy with shopee, they will return to LZD. Just like how people turn away from LZD to shopee few years back.

But only 2 percent hike, from 8 to 10 percent.....yeah, I understand the frustration and the bullshit excuse shopee gives.

I hate shopee coins actually becos u can only claim rm30 worth of coins per day, max. At the end, it's the platform trapping all of us.

Have u seen their new office? Probably got cost overrun during the project and need to quickly earn back

ok lah, my class don't teach ppl to throw price so margin min 50%

RM100 should have around RM50 gross margin, still can afford to kena deduct but I know many sellers who throw price will suffer more soon.

Wait shopee refunds don't go into their shopeepay? I know the bank payment I did last time for some 1 or 2 ringgit went to shopeepay which I never activate they keep insist I activate to get money I am not activating something just to get my rm2. I am worried my cc/debit card also goes there. If its large amount I will need fight them.

Laz if you don't activate wallet refund will return original location I read somewhere.

Free market will decide

If Amazon come SEA... conlanfirm everyone up their game again

it called harvest time ....

Lower your profit margin la if not jack the price up until u lose the prefered status.

Jgn cakap tak mau if that is the case then u r lppl like the prefered status.

That is to be expected. The free shipping cost must come from somewhere

All move the lazada la

Thats what happens when u oversupport a brand. They get greedy

Will this mark the end of shopee? Just like how gemfive died last time

Shopee : Yes, as far as i experienced. when refund, 1st 3 days will nag you to activate shopee pay. After 3rd day will went to Bank instead.
Lazada : Unless linking Touch n Go wallet during payment method or simply Top Up to wallet counted as activation, All the refund i experienced so far is straight went to Laz wallet instead of Bank. Not sure about payment by DC/CC though.

Haha lesap zada
Seriously though how much market share they lost to shopee? Back in 2018 used to buy more from lazada but since mco started I’ve been buying exclusively from shopee.

U so naive, how to shopee survive if they don't charge you commission for long term after spending and losing billions every month to get subsidize buyer to buy from you, they also need to survive ma.. just pay the fees, if cannot afford then u can close shop.. or go lazada..or any da..

More money to be make... simple. Else how to 'grow'.

Be flexible. And prepare for constant change, where can earn go where.

Seems like Shopee employing tactics similar to Uber, whack prices down until competition dies, when they are the last/market dominator, then hike up prices. Thats the typical M.O of tech companies now.

unless they have certain rules relate to new registered seller.. otherwise can always escape the preferred to just non preferred

They lost alot to shopee due to internal problems, fighting, and politics. Hopefully they come back and teach shopee a lesson

Think the last thing i bought from them was the Burger King coupons lol

Marilah kita bersama2 kembali ke Ebay

can refund to touch n go e-wallet?

I can confirm if you don't activate Laz wallet. It will return to your cc/dc. I had an unable to fulfill your hp purchase by lazada refunded. Thanks for the info.

Easy, just play with the chat performance.

it make sense to flush out new seller with low rating that doesn't deliver plus bad after sales service, or sometimes scammer.. but doing it to preferred seller, is like trying to tell ' the more you make sales, the more shopee is going to take from you'..

Need to cover by volume then or u raise your price

Shoppee want help lesser volume seller so can keep same level competition

But gain on both side, Shoppee pandai

you only need 1 bad experience when them and you will say totally worth it to go with lazada.. bought razer mouse kena scam.. farking shopee side seller.. that's it now only lazada getting my money.

see shop & product rating instead of preferred tag after 1st of june. i see alot of seller will forego preferred status.

Also can.
But from shop's perspective it takes longer time to accumulate those ratings.
From buyer's perspective it is very very time consuming to check each of every seller rating.

Shopee didn’t refund you?

Bought from lazada sometimes way cheaper than shopee

Only noob generalize shopee cheaper than anything else. Key is be smart. Lot of time brick and mortar store also cheaper and no waiting time to get products
