Anyone selling on TikTok shop?

This is what is really risky with the branded items - things like N*ke, Ap*le...high potential for knockoffs so they crack down and don't bother with low/new sellers...

Some brand names are also trying to ban resellers,when Chinese visits HK,PARIS and found out they can pay less for some items ,so they will bring them back and resell them for more on Chinese website or retail stores.

Have to find a way to combat the heavy prices on the brands for some of the average consumers I guess

But, remember that most people who goes to tiktok does not go straight to buy or sell whereas on ebay most of their audience goes there when they are ready to buy or sell.

ANy one knows how to add a product link to your tiktok video from the app?

Does it need to be switched to a business acc first?

solefoodbk, with tik tok if you just make a video to promote the item no matter how unprofessional and low quality it is, does it help with sales?

Tiktok stole over $5k from me across two accounts. I have zero desire to sell there again.

They are the only marketplace where you could ship something with tracking, and even signature included, while at the same time having a customer claim it wasn't received, get refunded on your behalf, and that be a reason for your suspension.

This happened to me not once but twice.

This is crazy to see - what kind of item did you ship? Category at least?

She showed the receipts to her landlord that she makes $67K/year,her landlord would not buy that and refuse to rent her an apartment .
That was years ago,now with average one bedrom rent in manhattan $4200,I doubt people will be watching her show and sending her money

I remember you wrote that in a post a year or so ago - somewhat pertinent here, well done.
