Deposit fee. After applying for a Taobao store on the Taobao platform, the deposit amount for opening a store is about 1,000 yuan or more. Different categories need to pay different amounts. The deposit amount for women's clothing, toys and other categories is 1,000 yuan, while men's clothing is 2,000 yuan, mobile phones are 50,000 yuan, and electric vehicles are between 5,000-50,000 yuan, etc. Before you upload the product, there will be a prompt on the store backend interface. You just need to pay the fee according to the prompt. However, this deposit fee only needs to be paid once in the first year of opening the store, and you don't need to pay this part of the fee in the future.

2. Store operating expenses. The operating plans of each store are different, and the operating expenses required are also different. If it is a new Taobao store, the monthly operating expenses in the early stage of opening the store will be about 3,000 to 5,000 yuan. Later, as the store traffic and transaction volume increase, the promotion expenses will also increase.

3. Software tool fees. During the store operation process, sellers are also required to subscribe to some paid software, such as Business Advisor Professional Edition, and store discount information setting software, etc., which all require sellers to pay for subscription. The cost of this is about 10,000 yuan a year.

The above is an introduction to the annual fee for opening a Taobao store. The annual cost of opening a Taobao store is more than 100,000 yuan. If the store is well operated, there will be more fees, but as long as you make money, these are all borne.

After opening a Taobao store, you do not need to pay fees every year, you only need to pay a deposit, and then when you apply to withdraw from the store, the deposit can be applied for refund. So Taobao merchants don’t have to worry about what they will pay.
