I recently looked into how to sell on a certain platform and discovered they impose fees ranging from 50% to 75% of the selling price. This seems outrageous! Influencers, in particular, might be lured in by the idea of being selected to sell there, but the reality is stark. If someone sells an item for £10, they only receive £2.5, and for a £1000 sale, just £250. This commission model heavily favors the platform, especially since many sellers are influencers with items they received for free. For regular sellers, the returns are significantly lower compared to other resale options. Influencers often prefer this route to avoid direct interactions with buyers. It's disheartening to see how many people are misled, and it makes me reflect on the increasing greed and superficiality in society. A greater level of oversight is needed for such businesses.

Many are drawn in by the allure of being selected to sell, but if someone sells an item for £10, they only receive £2.5, and for £1000, just £250. This commission structure heavily favors the platform, especially since many sellers are influencers with gifted items. For individual sellers, the returns are significantly lower compared to other resale sites. Influencers often prefer this because they don’t have to interact with buyers. It’s a wake-up call for those who blindly follow trends. It's disheartening to see how greed can manipulate perceptions and self-worth. There should be stricter regulations for such businesses.
I’m still waiting for my latest order, ten days after placing it. Previously, I bought various items that arrived as promised. The platform was once excellent, but it seems to have declined. There used to be many more deals from influencers. I’ve updated my review regarding who can sell on the platform as per the request from the service. Discount codes rarely work, even after they promote flash sales. Often, ads claim up to 50-80% off, but when applying codes, they state they aren't applicable. They also add codes that can’t be removed, even if better ones appear. Delivery times are poor; if I need something urgently, I wouldn’t place an order. Tracking updates are lacking, and customer service is mostly unresponsive and unhelpful. Returns, even for faulty items, come at your own expense, plus a restocking fee. The item descriptions are basic and lack detail, leading to disappointment with damaged goods. It’s unfortunate because the concept is great, allowing purchases at a fraction of the retail price, but be ready for potential letdowns.
