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.
