build your own website and do promotions on social media. once you get big margins start promoting at public events, put ads in mrt/halte tj/krl and lrt stations, and gradually run ads in airports and interprovincial stations like gambir and halim. that’s what my friends are doing for their business, ’cause these days major brands are moving from this app to build their own websites to avoid unnecessary extra costs

do tokopedia instead bro, its just about 11% last time i sell my thing quite fair i think, for marketing they only do it when we need it and it cost fairly cheap, i think shopee cost u 34% because they do marketing for ur products without ur permission?

As a buyer, I’ve definitely noticed that items that used to be affordable are getting more expensive. Sellers are raising prices to make up for all the fees, which is understandable. I actually prefer buying directly from websites or ordering manually these days. As a seller myself, I know exactly how frustrating those deductions can be🫨😮💨😮💨

Wow 😳 komisi 9.5% + service fee 4.5%. Lalu, Apakah voucher shopee itu otomatis dari mereka atau seller yg buat? Coz dibebankan ke seller jg. Trs ada processing fee segala, pdhl yg packing kan sellernya

unfortunately the economy isnt doing amazing, I have customers that depend on online shops but the cut that the platforms take just makes it nearly impossible for profit

Hahaha, TikTok does that too :) I sell my product for IDR 199k, but after all the fees, shipping, and taxes, I only get around IDR 99k. Sometimes it feels like half of the revenue disappears before it even reaches the seller 😂.

Fun fact, some Indonesian skincare local brand moved their selling from e-commerce platform to their individual website so they can put the affordable price as possible

Shopee remains the number one shopping platform on the Play Store.
They have the largest market share.
Consumers continue to choose Shopee because they consistently offer numerous discount vouchers and free shipping throughout Indonesia.
They have their own courier fleet and their own currency, ShopeePay, plus PayLater.
Therefore, it's best to continue selling on Shopee by raising prices, as most Indonesian consumers prefer paying through the marketplace rather than directly with sellers, even if the price is lower. Unless they are already loyal customers, they will likely order directly from sellers.

Shopee already has a strong ecosystem and an established market. If you're unhappy with it, you're free to use another platform.
