TikTok Shop Fees Increasing

TikTok is raising seller fees from 2% to 6% of the price of each order, set to reach 8% by July. This change is expected to impact both sellers and shoppers by potentially leading to increased prices on the platform. The move signifies a shift away from the app's previous model of offering super subsidies and deeply discounted products, making users question their loyalty to TikTok's e-commerce offerings.
