The Jumia platform also has some other possible fees.
(1) Return fee: The overall return cost of the Jumia platform is over 2%, and the return cost of the Egyptian site is higher than other sites. Sellers are advised to calculate it to over 10% to avoid losses later.
(2) Fund withdrawal fee: The Jumia platform uses P card payment, and the withdrawal fee is usually 1.2%~2%.
(3) Failed shipments, mid-order cancellations, platform fines, etc. will all increase additional operating costs. The specific amount needs to be determined by the platform according to the circumstances, but sellers can also appropriately take these costs into account when calculating the fees.
(4) Sellers who use FBJ overseas warehouses also need to calculate storage fees and handling fees for each order. Sellers who use cabinets also need to consider unloading fees and other costs.
For sellers on new platforms like Jumia, the losses are mainly in the “other expenses” item, because there are many unstable factors on new platforms. The actual situation of each seller may vary due to operational conditions, product quality, classification, etc., and they can make adjustments based on the collection and store operation conditions.
