2.Shopee Charges Platform Support Fees to Select Sellers
Shopee Malaysia has announced a platform support fee—a service charge to fund ongoing development, maintenance, and upgrades for seamless user experience. This fee applies to all successful transactions and targets sellers who either:
- Listed their first product over 120 days ago, or
- Reached 100 orders (whichever comes first).
Fee Details:
- RM0.50 per delivered order (+8% SST), effective for orders placed after July 16, 2025.
- Automatically deducted before sales proceeds hit the seller’s Shopee balance.
- Delivered orders include those marked "completed" or eligible for "instant refunds" (excluding "item not received" cases).
3.Indonesia’s Proposed E-Commerce Tax Rules May Impact Shopee
Indonesia plans to mandate e-commerce platforms (e.g., TikTok Shop, Shopee, Lazada) to withhold 0.5% tax on sellers with annual revenues between IDR 500 million–4.8 billion (≈USD 32k–307k).
Key Points:
- Goal: Boost tax revenue and level the playing field for brick-and-mortar stores.
- Timeline: Potential rollout next month amid weak tax collection.
- Pushback: Platforms argue this increases administrative burdens and may drive sellers away.
