Frequently asked questions
How much do products cost on Shopee?+
The median listed price is €86.82, with a quarter of listings at €33.92 or below and a quarter at €201.87 or above. The cheapest listing is €5.25 and the dearest is €8,768.75, so a low headline figure does not mean a low basket.
What warranty comes with items bought on Shopee?+
Cover varies by seller: the median listing warranty is 1, while better listings reach 2. In months the median is 12, and extended warranty is offered on 86.2% of listings, usually as a paid add-on at checkout.
Which markets does Shopee sell in?+
Shopee runs in Indonesia, TW and VN, and seller mix, delivery options and pricing differ from market to market. Laptops and desktops are the most common product types on the site, at 9.3% and 10%, with gaming PCs close behind at 8.6%.
Can I trade in an old device?+
Trade-in appears on 96.8% of listings, so many sellers will take an old device against a new one. The credit value is set by each seller rather than by Shopee, so offers for the same product can differ widely between listings and markets.
Is there refurbished stock, and how is it graded?+
Refurbished goods make up 49.4% of listings, with condition grades applied: good shows on 77.8%, excellent on 77.8% and like-new on 72.2%. Warranty on refurbished items is often shorter than on new stock.
How do I get help after ordering?+
A help centre is listed on 96.7% of listings, phone support on 53.9% and email on 78.9%. Live chat appears on 34.9%, so the quickest route to a seller depends on which listing you bought from.
Will Shopee match a lower price elsewhere?+
Price matching appears on 54.5% of listings, so it is worth checking several sellers for the same model before paying. A lower figure can also come from condition rather than matching, particularly on the 49.4% part of the catalogue.
Can I collect an order instead of waiting for delivery?+
Click and collect is offered on 65.2% of listings, so some sellers hand orders over locally. Which markets and sellers take part varies, and collection is not offered on every listing, so check the delivery options on the specific product page.
