He started making money on the app by offering fishing baits through TikTok Shop, selling around 92 strawberry- and sweet-corn-flavored “little bitz,” for instance.
TikTok, in recent months, has been sending a flurry of violation claims to sellers that use its e-commerce platform, stating that they’ve set “spam prices” on products, inadequately displayed items during livestreams, assigned inaccurate product-listing titles, or incorrectly categorized their goods.
Some sellers have managed to slip prohibited goods like homemade foods, sex toys, and THC syrups past its moderation system, while other merchants have added knock-off products mimicking items from mainstream brands like Lululemon.
“We had an LDR (late dispatch rate) penalty put on our account right as we were hitting our peak in sales,” said Jessica Slone, founder of Bad Addiction Boutique, a merchant that has sold tens of thousands of sweatshirts on TikTok.
Amazon uses bots to flag potential violations of its policies, which can lead to sellers’ accounts being deactivated, sometimes taking business owners by surprise.
For small-business owners on TikTok, having to take time to repeatedly appeal Shop violations is a strain alongside the day-to-day work of fulfilling orders.
