Can a frozen Shopee Thailand store be unblocked? What is the reason?

Previously, many sellers of Shopee Thailand stores came to me to complain that their stores were blocked. If the store is blocked, it means that all the hard work before is wasted in an instant. So, can the frozen Shopee Thailand store be unblocked?

It is understood that no closed store has been given the opportunity to be unsealed yet.

What is the reason for freezing?

1. Principles touched

No matter which e-commerce platform you enter, you must not touch the principled issues set by the platform. Some places can be cleverly circumvented, but if you can't circumvent them, you can only say goodbye. As for the sellers whose local stores in Thailand were blocked this time, most of them were doing store group model, that is, one merchant opened multiple local stores.

Why are store groups discovered by the platform? Industry insiders revealed that old stores are often discovered because they send empty packages, and new stores are often discovered because there are problems when registering. Either too many stores are opened at the same time from the same IP address, which is easy to be detected by the platform; or the same bank card is bound to multiple stores. Generally, if these two points can be avoided, there will be no major problems with store security.

2. Policy tightening

Of course, some people speculate that the closure of the store may be due to the tightening of local policies. It may be that the Thai authorities require the platform to conduct further compliance reviews and screen out some non-compliant merchants. This situation is not impossible. The Philippines is a good example.

3. Market changes

Apart from the above two reasons, changes in the local e-commerce market in Thailand learned from local sellers may also be the reason for the closure of the store.

According to local sellers in Thailand, due to the impact of the global epidemic, the outbound tourism industry has been in a downturn this year, which is obvious to all. Many businesses in Thailand that originally engaged in tourism or homestays have switched from offline to online and started to engage in local e-commerce.

All major platforms will provide multi-faceted favorable support for local businesses, so it will naturally be much easier for them to do business. In this case, the emergence of market competition will directly suppress those sellers who cross the border from domestic markets to do local business.

If you want to do Shopee, or you are still looking at the local market of Shopee, or you are doing Shopee and feel at a loss and don’t know where to go next, you urgently need to huddle together with people in the same industry.
