In recent years, the cross-border e-commerce industry has become increasingly popular, and the popularity of major cross-border e-commerce platforms has also remained high, attracting many sellers.
Although most cross-border e-commerce platforms are free, sellers still need to pay certain platform fees. Here is a brief introduction to the related costs of several mainstream e-commerce platforms.
1. Amazon
The platform fees that Amazon sellers need to pay mainly include monthly service fees and commission fees.
1) Monthly service fee
Amazon’s current monthly service fee is US$39.9 for the entire site.
2) Commission fee
For different types of products, the commission rates are also different. For example, the commission rate for mobile devices and consumer electronics is 8%, and the commission rate for household products is 15%.
2. Shopee
Shopee does not charge deposits, platform usage fees and annual fees, but it does charge commissions and transaction fees.
1) Commission
For novice sellers, no commission is required in the first three months of joining Shopee. After three months, like most sellers, the Shopee platform will pay commissions based on the operation of the store.
There will be some small changes in Shopee commissions recently. For example, the platform commission rate before the Polish website is 6%, but there will be some adjustments after August 9. The platform commission rate will remain unchanged, but sellers need to pay a 3% free shipping commission rate to generate orders.
2) Transaction fees
Sales of goods in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines require a certain value-added tax (VAT), so the Shopee platform has also made corresponding adjustments.
3. Ozon
As Ozon officials hope to invest more funds and resources into promoting international sales, including optimizing logistics and transportation and carrying out promotional activities, the Ozon platform will The sales commission for some categories is adjusted from a minimum of 3% to 5%.
The above-mentioned mainstream cross-border e-commerce platforms have multiple websites, and platform fees vary depending on the specific site. I hope this will be helpful to sellers.
