The Pros and Cons of Selling on Your Own Website vs. Takealot

[@jeankoen4014]

Hi Andrew. How would one calculate the total costs incured to sell a R60 item on Takealot?

[@olwethundaba4307]

Whats the highest amount you ever payed to customs to clear an iterm?

[@pre-dawnraid9037]

I understand that in order to be accepted by Takealot you have to already have an online shop (or brick n mortar) otherwise they won't accept your application. Is this true?

[@stephaney9266]

no this is not true, i am a takealot seller and i didnt have my own online store when i applied.

How is the average person suppose to be able to courier products to the separate Cpt and Jhb centres for each order and still make a profit?

[@AndrewForte1]

I know hey 😪. I didn't mention but I started with my own store and when I was doing about 20 to 30 orders a day I started on takealot.
