We’ve broken down what this means for your business, what your options are for TikTok sending, and why Smart Send is still your go-to tool for parcel deliveries - not just on TikTok, but across all your marketplaces!
What is the TikTok 50p 'Shipped by Seller' Fee?
Starting from 15th July 2025, TikTok introduced a new 50p ‘Shipped by Seller’ fee. This is an additional charge added to each order you choose to send yourself, instead of using TikTok’s fulfilment services (FBT).
According to TikTok, this fee supports platform improvements and encourages sellers to use TikTok's own services - but that’s not always the best fit for every business, especially if you’re also selling on platforms like eBay, Amazon, and Etsy or want more control over how you ship your orders.
That’s exactly where Smart Send comes in.
