It depends on the situation. Some categories require a deposit, while others do not.

The categories that require a deposit include: 3C, sports, luggage, shoes, jewelry and watches, controlled brands in the maternal and infant industry, e-cigarette industry, and sellers in the fine jewelry industry who have previously participated in the "three times the compensation for fake products" program. In addition, all sellers who have participated in the three times the compensation for fake products program must pay a deposit of 30,000 yuan (50,000 yuan for e-cigarettes).

For products in other categories, a 5% transaction fee is generally charged after the transaction is successful.
