Selling clothes on Meesho has become incredibly challenging, especially if you’re not willing to invest heavily in paid promotions. While it was a promising platform when it first started, new sellers now struggle to gain traction.

From personal experience, out of 100 orders we processed:

• 45% were RTO (Return to Origin)

• 20% were fake returns

• 5% were lost during transit

This left us with only 30% of the orders to profit from, but even that was largely offset by RTO charges. In the end, the margins were razor-thin, making it tough to sustain.

@david67

Clothing is a trial-based product, regardless of the platform you sell on. High return rates are inevitable in this category.

@david67 what you mean by charges for RTO, meesho don’t charge any money for RTO, charges are collected only for customer returns

I sell on different categories, even though there is more RTOs and customer returns compared to amazon and flipkart, the total sales is also more compared to them.

in my case i have an average of 10% RTOs and 8% customer returns. 

@david67 Are you still selling in meesho?

@market360 Yes, no charge for RTO

I am new to meesho. 

@simiti-lights Hi Simiti in which category are you selling?

@simiti-lights these numbers are common in ecommerce 

The rate of return for ecommerce sales hovers in the 20% to 30% range. They are commonly higher than brick-and-mortar stores and should be accounted for as part of common business practices. https://www.bigcommerce.com/articles/ecommerce/returns/
