Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a listing fee on AliExpress?
No, AliExpress generally does not charge a fee to list products. You can upload products for free. You only pay a commission fee when a product actually sells. This lowers the barrier to entry for new sellers.
Do I pay commission on shipping costs?
Yes. The commission rate (5-8%) applies to the total transaction value, which is the Product Price + Shipping Fee paid by the buyer. If you offer free shipping, it applies to the full price.
What is the annual technical service fee?
AliExpress charges sellers an annual fee to operate on the platform. This amount varies by category. However, sellers with high sales volumes and good service ratings can get 50% or even 100% of this fee refunded at the end of the year.
How does AliExpress compare to Amazon fees?
AliExpress commissions (5-8%) are generally lower than Amazon's referral fees (typically 8-15%). Also, AliExpress doesn't have a monthly subscription fee like Amazon Professional ($39.99/mo), though it has the annual fee.
Are there payment processing fees?
Generally, the commission fee covers the payment processing on AliExpress. However, when you withdraw funds from Alipay to your local bank account, there may be a withdrawal fee or currency conversion fee depending on your bank and region.
