What cross-border e-commerce sellers must know about the latest platform policies and Lianlian payment service overview
In the context of the epidemic, cross-border e-commerce sellers are facing many challenges and opportunities. In order to help sellers better cope with the changing market environment, this article integrates the latest policy information from multiple cross-border e-commerce platforms and the services provided by Lianlian Pay.
Policy support from major cross-border e-commerce platforms
Amazon
Amazon provides certain service fee exemptions for sellers in the Growth Plan and the Start-up Plan. In particular, FBA sellers should note that Amazon’s global logistics service resumed online booking services on February 3, 2020, and fully resumed work on February 10.
Wish
For existing orders that are not marked as “shipped”, if the merchant completes the shipment within a specific time, the merchant will be exempted from refund liability. In addition, high refund rates and low order fulfillment rates, which are common during the epidemic, will not result in the deactivation of store accounts.
Shopee
Affected by Indonesia’s commodity tax policy, Shopee’s after-tax preferential rates for Indonesian sites have been extended to February 26, 2020, while the commission policies for other sites remain unchanged.
eBay
eBay sellers can use “store holiday settings” to deal with logistics obstruction or insufficient inventory problems. You need to check the relevant options to prevent products from being searched by buyers.
Mercadolibre
Since February 10, 2020, the commission policy of the Mexico station has been adjusted. Fixed commissions have been added for low-priced products and some commission discounts have been cancelled.
Lazada
Lazada encourages cross-border sellers to use one-stop warehouse storage services, which can reduce logistics costs by up to 80%.
