According to Shopee's policy, the deposit is a credit guarantee for the merchant to ensure the security of the transaction. If the merchant complies with Shopee's regulations and does not violate any terms, the deposit is refundable.

The specific process for refunding the deposit may vary depending on the region and specific circumstances, but in general, merchants can apply for a refund of the deposit through Shopee's customer service channels. It should be noted that there may be a certain delay in the refund of the deposit, and the specific refund time may vary depending on Shopee's review process and bank processing time.
