Frequently asked questions
Is TikTok Shop cheaper than Amazon UK?
Sometimes on commission vs referral + FBA. Creator costs, returns and live discounts often erase the gap. Confirm your Seller Centre rate.
Should I send FBA stock and sell on TikTok?
Only if contribution still clears after both fee stacks. Use break-even before inbound or a live discount.
