The following content will introduce relevant information to you, let's learn about it together.

Shopee individual seller entry fee:

There is no charge for joining Shopee at present, including entry fee, annual fee and security deposit. New sellers are exempt from commission for the first three months after opening a store, and a commission of 5-6% will be charged after three months. The commission will fluctuate according to the monthly transaction flow of your Shopee store, and the transaction amount within 500,000 US dollars is 6% commission.

Shopee individual seller entry conditions:

To open a Shopee store, you need a business license and a store account statement. The business license can be personal or company-owned. You can also buy the business license and account statement. The market price of a business license is about 200 yuan. Of course, you can also register a business license yourself at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for free. You can buy the account statement on Taobao or borrow it from relatives and friends who have opened a store. (If you apply for the license and borrow the account statement yourself, you don’t have to spend this money)

For the transportation of large items, the platform cooperates with third-party logistics providers to build its own SLS logistics system to reduce freight costs (saving merchants a lot of time and effort. Shopee also provides loan guarantees to buyers and sellers to ensure that transactions proceed. It helps cross-border e-commerce companies enter the Southeast Asian market faster to gain the benefits of mobile social communication.)

No-source model, no need to prepare goods (Shopee focuses on the Southeast Asian market which is very close to us, and Shopee has also opened 5 transit warehouses in China. Sellers do not need to prepare goods. Generally, they place an order from 1688 and then have the goods delivered to the transit warehouse through a freight forwarder. They do not need to worry about the remaining customs clearance and final delivery. After the express is sent out, the payment can usually be collected within half a month)

The transaction commission received by the Shopee platform is adjusted according to the original commission rate (Shopee transaction commission is based on the store level, 3% commission rate for level 1>=1 million USD, 4% commission rate for level 2>=500,000 USD, and 5% commission rate for level 3<500,000 USD. In addition, Shopee currently does not charge for listing and selling products. Whether the policy will be adjusted in the future is not yet certain.)

Generally speaking, it is free to join Shopee and you can open a store completely free of charge. Moreover, for new merchants, there is no deposit required for the first three months. The starting capital for opening a Shopee store is about 3,000 yuan. I hope the above content can solve your problem.
