I'm a takealot seller. I ended up paying Takealot for my items.

I began selling on Takealot a few months ago. My only complaint is the fees. For fees and other hidden costs, I budgeted for around 42% of the item's price. I underestimated by a lot. I ended up paying more than the item's price. I ended up paying Takealot for my items. Any product selling for under R70 was a complete loss because if a customer is not from JHB or CPT, then they charge R35 to R100+ to transfer it to their region. They also took 10% in success fees and another amount in "fulfillment fees". In other words, I listed something on takealot for R70 and they charged me R85 for it. Total loss for me as a new trader.
