From May 24, the Wildberries market reduces the 2% commission for sellers of household appliances and electronics. Now the commission in this category is 17%. This was reported to RB.RU in the press service of the company.
The decision will affect sellers of more than 500 home appliances and electronics, including robotic vacuum cleaners, computers, game consoles and kitchen appliances. In certain categories, for example, in the sale of laptops and smartphones, the minimum commission will be from 3%, regardless of the sales model.
The reduced commission will lower the costs for merchants to run an online business. In the future, thanks to this measure, they will be able to expand the range of household appliances and electronics in the segments where there is currently a greater shortage of offers for buyers.
- Previously, Wildberries completed verification of 60% of 300 sellers suspected of using “grey” promotion schemes on the platform and established their participation in this process.

On May 11, Wildberries sellers organized a rally due to the write-off of millions of rubles for “advertising services”. Later, a lawyer for the market vendors said that Wildberries had written off about 2 billion rubles from vendors on the night of May 11 for “advertising services.” On May 12, Wildberries announced that it had reached an agreement with the sellers and suspended advertising accruals during the investigation.
