@02:00 You have obscured EXACTLY the bit it was looking for help on 🙈 In their infinite (lack of) wisdom, they format company registration numbers, almost everywhere, as Kyyyy123456. And on THIS screen, you need to drop the "K", enter the year in the first block (I presume) and then split the rest up into the next 2 blocks. How many digits in each? WHY?
Man i wish we could get a company that serves not only SA but other African countries. I'm from Lesotho and the amount of items i wish i could buy directly from takealot is crazy.
At the bottom i get a red notice as follows when i need to calculate. There is no option for calculating. "Filing of beneficial ownership declarations is compulsory for all companies and close corporations. Failure to adhere to the requirements may result in administrative sanctions and enforcement. If you wish to proceed with beneficial ownership filing, click NEXT. If you want to file at a later stage please IGNORE NEXT>>.
Do you know why this video only got 2,142 views? It's because this video is useless; only 20% of it is okay. If you can't explain things properly, then don't upload videos to waste other people's time.
Sent them an email explaining all this and more! Requested specific instruction from them! I did a removal order to (try to) balance and then they also do removal orders before receiving the ones I did… and stock balances get worse before having time to correct it… and then the buy box happens and you are either over or under stocked🤦🏻♀️
What if u have 5000 plus products. So are u saying just do leadtime only. Their are other platforms ...we are just diversifying as much as we can . Valid rant.
I wish Takealot would make it possible to request stock to be sent by them to another DC. Obviously we as sellers will pay for it. Some products are just selling better at one DC and not the other. Also that means there will be stock at both DC's without sellers having to courier and yet there's stock at the other DC.
It will always be worth it if you play by the rules and if you can afford to play by the rules, lots of sellers had their last straws in similar videos years ago and it discouraged me from selling initially. After I started playing by the rules it has been smooth sailing for the most part. Do not trust their tracking systems, keep your own books and dispute when necessary. At the end of the day It's Amazon and Takealot's business to keep the customer happy and whoever does it the best takes the cake, naturally there will be policy changes that keep making it harder for the seller as this competition grows. It wouldn't be any different if you were selling from your own website, you still have to compete with the convenience that your competitors offer.
I seriously think we need another player in South Africa. Something more along the lines of a cross between the Checkers app system and Etsy. And with AFFILIATES so that other people can also market our stuff!
If you can't afford to pay for marketing on Takealot, how will you be able to afford to market your website? Creating a website is the easy part, getting convertible traffic is another.
Hey Andrew, hope you are well. I just wanted to know if selling on takealot is still worth in 2024? And also what did you start selling when first started selling on takealot?
what about people stealing your products? is this a big problem? i have some stock of a few products that i KNOW will sell really good on takealot and i don't know if i should just get more stock before selling on takealot for incase bigger sellers bulk buy mine and out sell me. thoughts?
Thanks buddy. Started my business in Feb 2023, its June 2024 now and I havent done this before. Hopefully the fines wont be to hefty. And hopefully they did not deregister my company yet.
