any shopee preferred sellers here? recently been getting forced by them to shutdown my lazada store to continue being a preferred seller on shopee.



checked back my preferred seller agreement, and there was a mention of this, but only during Shopee festival events, but now am being forced to choose to only sell on Shopee to maintain the status.

the preferred seller on Shopee actually increases my sales, but my store on Lazada also generates similar amount of sales from a very different customer base.

any sifu have advice on how to circumvent this aside from creating different store/name because i'm the only supplier of the product in the Malaysia, and Shopee might eventually figure it out and remove my preferred seller status.

anyone else think this is unfair practice by shopee?

couple week ago, i see many laughing at alibaba fines on this issue and many laugh ........
hahahhahaha

Use your wife/father/mother identity open another store?

Open another store la.

Definitely unfair. This is a monopoly practise. Doesn't this breach anti-monopoly law? You should viral this and get the relevant ministries well informed about this. Cite the action of China on Alibaba for your case.

use different store name at each platform but selling same item cannot?

Sohai you opted for the "Priority Seller Program", you cannot sell on their main competitor's platform as per the agreement.

You already got extra exposure on Shopee platform by them giving you the "Priority Seller" pilot program.

Dai sei you selling on Lazada, 1 leg step into 2 boats?

Boycott shopee

is this the discounted fees on FS15 offered recently?

no wonder i see so many lazmall seller some got the "on vacation", now i know what is the reason. wow, shopee so bad! really not fair ya.

shopee seller here.
click my signi..to see my item and my rating.

ERM
Their platform
Their rules

yeah yeah... monopoly war start.

So happy now.

No choice as you agreed to the terms already.

Why is it not fair when it is already stated in the agreement?

Are you one of those who complain father mother when you break the rules knowingly?

Edit : I think you can still sell on both platform, just need to forgo the "preferred seller" status.

i'm the sole distributor of the product and now only slowly growing. even if i open another store under a different name/person, quite likely they will still figure it out and harass me to shut down my lazada store.

Ya..true, unless u use another dupe for lazada.
actually shopee pon many dupe account, same product and price (from same source of china warehouse) but the name is lain lah.

Bruh just choose one.

Shopee or lazada. They're competitors. So they will compete.

Why greedy. You want greedy open own platforn bodo

Have you ever visit a mcd inside Shell or petron?

This^ One specific item, same item name while price differs by 1%. But anyone can see its run by same person

lazada malaysia should report to anti monopoly minister

taobao got fined 4 exactly dis same monopolistic tactic recently in china

mayb can try lodge komplain with domestic trade dept

pretty sure their rules dun supersede the law

Can

But many seller use simple way out.

Publish same name on both resulting in AI auto detection easier.

Many publish their links to both platforms which is bobo.

TS what is your store link on Shopee?

report lah

WTF man? Even if you open another store, you can call it authorized REDISTRIBUTOR. C'mon man thats how things work.

You never learn anything from the Cha Time Tealive thing at all?

Do you still need to be Shopee Preferred seller if you say you're the only supplier for that product?

Customer Rating > Preferred Seller

If you already have >1K of rating and low prices, then then the preferred status will be less important.

If you just setup your store "Preferred Seller" status is important to capture the market & gain customer trust.

report to mcmc

1. Tell shopee you will comply.
2. Shut Down lazada or set to vacation.
3. Setup new account in lazada.
4. Please la... use different name.
5. Then Shhhhhhhh!!!!!

u must be gone wild, according to /K legal expert Malaysia Law is much much better than KKNCCP law.
btw malaysia dont have monopoly act.

Report to KPPDNK for shopee monopoly practise

so many /kxpert with superd/brilliant/excellence idea ....
close and open another one, really topkek.

are you the one who selling durian condom?

U tak suka u keluar.. Want use platform orang but when make money want complain CCP sini sana.

inb4 guna hotak la.. have different ID's and codes/etc for LZD platform and they cannot crossref dy. Unless LZD share info with Shopee which CCP surely will never do

like that you fail to expend your company dy lo////....buat dupe(proxy) pun tak tau.

if buat dupe pun kena kantoi....man i can tell you,you cannot compete in e-platform la.

if you ever notice,shopee/lazada/tabao....many different name shop but all same one seller.

bukak dupe la bodo

By the way, since when Shopee agent communicate with you via Whatsapp?

This is like listing your products on tesco shelves while same product listing on aeon big shelves. Ok wat I see no wrong.

Yes, what’s the issue with that?

maybe our govermeent already know....mau like china sekali denda few hundred million.

I do buy from non-preferred seller (can’t use coins and unlikely to have vouchers) but the minimum it should provide free shipping.

It depends on the store. If the store dont allow and tell you upfront, then that is the store policy. But his issue with TS, can easily be handle by creat a dupe.

make ur onw platform. do watever u like. their house, their rules

In Shoppe I can see some like 4 or 5 shops same owner one. Price might be different by 1 or 2 sen if not the same but if one stock color is out, all other shop also out.

Even if you are sole distributor, can sell on another shop name what. Perhaps register on someone else name.

Lazada also same lar.... 1 seller got like 5-6 shops. Just playing around with the price to attract customer.

i think fair game, if u wanna get priority exposure then u gotta live with their terms, not like they are banning u outright

but preferred seller really stronk

item always listed first page

One practice I hate in Lazada is the selling price huge difference between seller, but the add shipping cost end up about same price. What the hell shipping price 10x selling item price.

Attract customer like this

That's an agreement you have signed all right.

But that doesn't stop you from lodging a complaint to mycc

https://www.mycc.gov.my/legislation

Lel

Just don't become preferred. Simple.
I refuse to let them hold me ransom

I wouldn't call it a dupe la. Is fair play ma. As merchandiser u should be able to sell wherever u wish unless there are manipulations in pricing or transfer pricing which I don't think is there.

I think exclusive deal isn't consider as monopoly? Unless the platform really monopolize the market, as of now I would say Shopee haven't dominate the market yet.

Habisla, everyone here baited by shopee, now they know your secret, gonna catch those with dupp acct on another platform.

Dupe account budaya kita!!!

owai ...

this definitely breaches the competition act. You can report this lah.....we consumers benefit from HEALTHY competition. Askin the sellers to close shop is like cb la, why so insecure one?

I wonder if lazada knows about this??
i mean there is a need for proper regulation la, everyone is screaming digital onboarding but if no proper laws then all your smaller players will die la
I dont think this is the first time pee pee is doing this la, i have seen people openly saying on social media that they are asked to shut down their accounts
now must wait for proper action to be taken, question is bila????

You are referring to preferred seller or priority seller?

Malaysia apa law?

remember grab also kena something similar?

It's not monopoly. It's commitment. You want to put mcd in Petronas, then there will commitment from both side, 1 of which is no mcd in any petrol station other than Petronas for a period of time. In layman's term, exclusivity.

Lol TS kena kantoi...

Only in Malaysia do we have stupid consumers being happy with monopolistic tactics.

you took the words right out of my mouth

Aiyo TS. Close the lazada store and open a new RESELLER store back in lazada, priced 10 cent more. Kawtim.

Dupe account not easy to find yo... If you silap, then u ban a genuine acc, then your reputation habis...

read T&S before you sign lah

yup...1 leg step 2 boats...

like piap 2 girls at the same time

As usual la ...
all the perks I want
All the term that come with the perks ... cry fader mader not fair ditindas.

Ts
Workaround tau ... workaround.
Tutup mata pick one minister and follo.

TS. Ask them to reply back by email so you have a black and white on their unfair practice. Then sent to KPDN liao.

u bukak store lain. nama lain kat lazada. gambar tu jangan sama. harga tu kasi jack up sikit.
u cari la member ke jiran ke share profit 50/50 uruskan akaun tu,

Warranty / Packaging / Delivery - u punya kerja.

Engagement / Support - member / jiran punya kerja.

TS you broke the rules now you claim unfair treatment? this kind of ppl...

Jual apa? Bagi discount code la

You are not a "Preferred" seller, stop using the term. They're clamping you down because of the "Priority" seller program.

You PM me,

I'm a LazMall & ShopeeMall seller.

Open different name shop la sohai

apa susah?
U sell the product to your neighbour, your neighbour start selling at Lazada...

simple problem, simple solution...

Sue them for monopoly?

Like Grab case right?

This happen not because you are preffer seller. It is bacause you sign up to become priority seller. This happen to my partner as well.. me also have shop in shopee and lazada as preferred seller no problems pun

just ope n another company and sell on lazaada la. apa susah? want money dnon[t want to do work?

i think ya'll are missing the point.....if this indeed is happening, it unfair competition. Its not about going and opening another account under the person's dead grandmas name. This isnt the way its supposed to work and you can take grab as a good example

This is an anti-competitive behaviour, and should lodge complain to KPDNKK.

Lazada just keep watching the seller close shop one by one?

What's a priority seller actually? Google doesn't really help

im sure lazada is aware of this too and should report this matter
sopi for the last few years talk about how they are in a dominant position, X many times of buyers / consumers and then now kena tangkap with their pants down la
so teruk ah want to ask people to close shop when everyone also trying to survive

Fck off la shopi

Wanna follow alibaba/taubao sohai policy isit?

then cry mader fader brader sisder

Agree on the t&c but sometimes customer especially malaysian to cautious on the t&c. Not all t&c in the agreement are enforcable especially when it contradict with other dominant law ie in this case competition act 2010.

I copy pasta here ..
Competition Act prohibits agreements which have the object or effect of significantly preventing, restricting or distorting competition in Malaysia; and. conduct which amounts to the abuse of a dominant position in a market in Malaysia.

here

https://www.mycc.gov.my/legislation

buat 2 company? or two different sellers ie. wife??

Shopee got communicate using WhatsApp? What number they use? I help you spam 9 them for coming up with such monopolistic practice

https://www.digital38.com/shopee-preferred-seller-faqs/

most likely all your acc and associate acc will kana banned after that

GGWP

Point being, do they actually communicate using WhatsApp? If they do then fine, I buy this story.

we dont have monopoly act but we have competition act... offcourse not applicable on some item such as electricity, puspakom and few items... suppose th act should like anti-trust law in the us where no single company to have one kind of product..

I prefer shopee as platform but yeah it's bs what they were doing here. Not going to let them monopolize the market if reach that point it's a big loss for consumers

well , thats what happen when you lost half profit.

pattern keluar liao lo.

Diu. Change shop name. Different tel, different sku but same item.

your story is in the news leh......must be serious enough for it to be picked uo lor

Laz does it without asking you to shut down your other stores
Times are hard, businesses will need the added visibility to reach out to as many customers as possible
Monopoly doesnt benefit anyone but the company
