WTA: I noticed one particular shop that keeps on/off having Preferred status. One day, it's Preferred, another day it's not.

Do sellers get to switch on or off their preferred status? Or what is happening?

traditional = more expensive

Via shopee = buyers win, seller = makan pasir

for example, certain goods sold in traditional shop = 100, via shopee +delivery fee = 80-85 only

banyak cheap

in conclusion

shopee = winner
buyer = winner
seller = loser

i guess is counted via past x days = no of sales / volume?

I agree with this, i guess for seller, it wont be all item selling at lost, out of 10 product, maybe 2-3 is at lost to attract people to click into their shop to purchase other item as well.
This is the similar strategy use by many shop even Mr DIY as well.
Also no doubt, for smaller seller that cannot afford to establish their own traditional shop, they need to rely on e-commerce to sell their product, so shopee, lazada would be their only option.

Now need to ship out within 24 hours

Small orders can easily fulfill within 24 hours.

Large batch of orders, I see how you manage. Want increase manpower? Feel free, I'll see how much your cost increase because of that...

This kind of rule is usually for larger corporations such as fulfilment centers, not for small time sellers actually.

Another bodo is

Shopee sellers must always be the last person who send message to the buyer to end the conversation. Else, the seller will be counted for late response/reply.


Buyer: Thank you.
Seller: Must reply something: You are welcome
Buyer: Send emotion SMILE
Seller: Must reply something to end the conversation

Else, seller will be marked as late response in chat

K/tard if wanna play with seller, always send emoticon to seller. The seller will be always replied you something coz they dont want to be marked as late!

hahahahah

act smart people/bodo didn't work as seller before, so they can say anthing..bodo right?

welcome to capitalism.

New entry throw promo, pump money. Money from investors. Keep churning. All other small mid enterprise get strangled to death.

Now when no competitor they start to squeeze all they want from userbase. If business slow down. Then start another company again. Rinse repeat.

Ya. Sellers must be boicot again and what others did to Mc D

haha

Here's another bodo thing about this.

If two seller accounts are chatting with each other

A is seller, but buying from B

A message B
A: thanks
B: welcome
A: OK
(end of conv)

B's reply timeliness rate affected.

A message B
A: thanks
B: welcome
A: OK
B: OK
(end of conv)

A's seller shop reply timeliness rate affected, although he is buying from B.

This is something Shopee is aware of but not doing shit about it. This creates an endless loop between the parties.

Shopee is just a platform with full of retards in the product dept.

Shopee evaluate Preferred status on weekly basis.
If a week before that seller meet all KPI, they will be granted Preferred status the following week.

Ya, I know this. I am a seller and I bought thing from one seller. I need to maintain my chat rate response so I always reply something.

The seller sent me no need to reply anything because they are seller, they need to reply. I told them, I am seller also.

Then the seller told me I am the buyer, won't affect. But it is not. It is affected and my chat response from 100% to 50%

Yup. Sohai seller wanna sabo you

i'll keep on reply with emoticon... haha

all these new rules come after tiktokshop entered the market throwing free delivery and all

but 15 days free return

15 days return buat seller yg susah sahaja

with the change of mind thing, you better video what you pack before sending. got stories of buyers swapping the items n return it

that adds a lot of work if the sellers have 10-100 items to be packed and posted daily...

Sometimes I feel that SHopee or Lazada designed too many complex programs that putar-pulih the sellers and buyers.
