Selling on Temu

Temu seller fees in 2026 fall into two cost structures depending on which model you join. Consignment sellers pay an effective 2-5% commission (built into the supply price Temu negotiates) and zero subscription, payment-processing, or shipping fees — Temu absorbs all of those. Semi-managed sellers pay an 8-15% referral commission, a US$39/month subscription for business accounts, 2.9% + US$0.30 payment processing through PayPal, and cover their own shipping and returns. Layered on top of both: marketplace claw-backs on disputes, packaging compliance penalties, and a security deposit that varies by category. With 400 million monthly active users across the US, Europe, and Southeast Asia, the platform is worth modelling carefully — a 2-5% all-in cost on consignment versus a 30%+ effective cost on semi-managed once you add shipping is the difference between scaling and bleeding margin. This guide breaks down every fee, compares them against Shopee, TikTok Shop, and eBay, and shows worked examples for both seller models so you can calculate your true per-unit cost before listing your first SKU.
