Amazon slashes budget fashion fees to fend off Shein, Temu
Amazon recently announced discounts on sales commissions for low-priced clothing items starting May 15 in Europe, Japan, and Canada. The commission reductions vary by region. For example, in Canada, for clothing items priced below 20 Canadian dollars ($14.63), the original sales commission of 17% is adjusted to 10%. In France, Italy, and Spain, for clothing items priced below 15 euros ($16.10), the original sales commission of 15.45% is adjusted to 8.24%. It’s understood that this move by Amazon is aimed at staying competitive with platforms like Temu and Shein.
