Each AliExpress account is only allowed to select one business scope, and can operate one or more business categories under this business scope. The “Special Category” does not implement separate investment access. As long as the seller is allowed to join any business category, he or she can obtain the right to publish products in the “Special Category”.
Sellers must pay an annual technical service fee. The annual technical service fee for each business category is different. At the end of the natural year, high-quality stores with good service quality and growing business scale will have the opportunity to receive annual fee refund rewards. In addition, merchants operating on AliExpress need to pay commissions according to a certain percentage of their order sales (referred to as “rates”). The transaction commission standards for each category are different. Some categories are 8% of the order amount, and some categories are 5% of the order amount. AliExpress will adjust the commission ratio from time to time according to industry development trends and other conditions. Merchants can obtain the latest developments through website announcements or in-site letters.
