Do I have to pay for opening a shop on Taobao?

There is no need to pay any fees for opening a shop on Taobao. Opening a shop is free, but you need to pay a deposit of more than 1 1,000 yuan. After opening the store, you don't need to pay any fees. Give me my money back if you don't open an online shop.

Taobao doesn't have to pay a deposit to open a shop, depending on what goods are sold. In addition, you can complete the transaction without paying the deposit. Which categories are as follows:

Desktop/all-in-one machine/server, computer hardware/monitor/computer peripheral, MP3/MP4/iPod/ recorder;

Personal care/health care/massage equipment, office equipment/consumables/related services, kitchen appliances, household appliances, pets/pet foods and supplies, dogs, pets/pet foods and supplies, cats;

Flash card/USB flash drive/storage/mobile hard disk, network equipment/network-related, audio-visual products, tablet computer /MID, books, household digital products, audio-visual appliances, electronic dictionaries/electronic paper books/stationery;

Household appliances, electronic games/accessories/games/strategies, makeup/perfume/beauty tools, notebook computers;

Beauty and skin care/body care/essential oil, online game cards, snacks/nuts/specialties, traditional tonics/other health-care nutrients, etc.

At present, Taobao will not charge the seller, but some categories must pay a deposit to ensure the transaction safety of buyers and sellers, otherwise it will not be possible to open a shop on Taobao.
