I opened a vendor account with shopee. I was learning on the job - found out quickly that I was required to consistently go out of pocket to fully support the price of new customer transactions. I was told that it would take about 7 days to complete the transactions and retrieve the funds.
I quickly became uncomfortable with the financial risk element of the platform - especially due to the fact that this was a first time user experience and the company did not have an abundance of glowing online reviews.
After investing $600 to support 3rd party purchases I decided to remove all items from my account in order to not incur any additional fees while I was waiting to receive the initial $600 that was already invested.
I was told that this was not suggested - I told them that they could either understand my position or they choose to close my account. Which they did.
There is a fundamental difference between suspending an account and returning all earned funds - and closing an account - accusing the account holder of money laundering and keeping the account holders funds. This is FRUAD.
I was introduced to the business by a nice lady 1 (647) 490-1625 she promoted the company and yet failed to intervene when the trouble occurred. I can't absolutely say that she is involved but then again I don't know that she is not.
