Think selling on marketplaces is transparent? Let’s uncover the reality! 🔍

While marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart, and Meesho provide vast reach, transparency isn’t always their strong suit. Sellers often struggle with vague policies, unclear fees, and sudden changes that impact business. A recent report showed that 70% of marketplace sellers face challenges with platform policies, pricing control, and customer data access.

After 10 years of selling through marketplaces with YoungTrendz and now building a D2C brand, TheCocoLove, I can say one thing: transparency is everything. Having your own platform gives you clear visibility over fees, customer data, and policies without surprises.

Top Challenges for Marketplace Sellers:

  1. Unclear policies: Policies can change overnight, leaving sellers scrambling.
  2. Hidden fees: Many sellers are caught off-guard by additional fees.
  3. Limited customer insights: Without direct access to your customer data, building loyalty is harder.
  4. Pricing pressure: Competing on price alone is tough, especially when the marketplace adds its own brand.

Pro Tip: Diversify your sales channels. Use marketplaces for reach but build your own website for full control. That’s how we’ve kept our brands sustainable, no matter the marketplace changes.

  • A) Unclear policies
