Yes. Our promotional vehicles provide opportunities to help sellers drive sales, provided they meet our criteria. Our Merchandising Team works closely with our sellers to develop a structured plan, which identifies and targets successful marketing vehicles for optimal performance.

Payment

How and when do I get paid?

The Net Sales Price for a Product shall be remitted to Seller on Wednesday of the week in which seven (7) calendar days have elapsed since the day on which NEWEGG received confirmation that the Product was delivered to the Customer; provided that if the seventh such day falls on or after Wednesday of the week in question, then such Net Sales Price shall be remitted on the following Wednesday. Funds are deposited directly into your specified account once a week via ACH transfers, so you will typically receive payment between 15-21 days. Payment details will be emailed to you weekly, and you can also access each settlement under your Seller Portal account.

Why am I not receiving payments for my recent orders?

Possible reasons:

  • The account holder name on your bank records may be incorrect, please double check in the Seller Portal.
  • Your W-9 form (W-8BEN-E for international sellers) may have a problem (please check if all information listed on the W-9 form matches the information listed under your main contact information in your seller portal).
  • The bank account information may be incorrect or outdated. Please double check this information and update any new bank account to process your ACH Payments.
  • Payments are issued to sellers who have accumulated $25 or more in sales ($100 or more in sales for international sellers). Payment will be held until your sales reach this threshold.

Sales Tax

Are sellers responsible for collecting sales tax?

Newegg shall charge sales tax on Seller’s behalf for sales of Seller Products on the Website. Where applicable and for orders shipped from Newegg fulfillment centers, Newegg will collect the sales tax for the states in which the Newegg fulfillment centers are located. All sales tax proceeds collected by Newegg on Seller’s behalf will be sent to tax authorities. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Newegg for any failure to charge, collect and/or remit the proper amount of sales tax with respect to any sale of a Seller Product on the Website.

What If a customer contacts me regarding sales tax?

Please advise the customer to contact our support team by emailing marketplacesupport@newegg.com. We will be glad to address all questions and concerns.

Will I receive the 1099 Tax Statement during tax season?

No, since Newegg is the Merchant of Record; we will be sending the sales tax that was collected to the appropriate state for processing. You will not receive a 1099 from us. You may download a copy of each settlement in the Seller Portal for reference. (Please review: “Do I Receive Payment Settlements?” for instructions on “how to download transactions”).

Seller Account Settings

My seller account status is INACTIVE, how do I activate it?

Your seller account may be inactive because it was recently created. For quality assurance, we ask sellers to begin the process by uploading product in the Seller Portal. Once a few products have been uploaded, we will review your listings and correct any potential mishaps in the process. This quality assurance procedure has effectively helped many sellers start off on the right foot, and has helped to produce more sales. Once you have created your items, they will appear as disabled until your seller account has been activated. Our Category Manager will verify your items and then activate your account so that you can begin selling in our Marketplace platform.

If you have any questions, you may contact our support team at marketplacesupport@newegg.com.

My account has been deactivated, can I have it reactivated?

Please contact your account manager regarding activating your account, if you are unsure who your account manager is you can contact our Seller Services team at marketplacesupport@newegg.com for further assistance.

My company will be closed for a period of time, is there a vacation setting?

Yes, please follow the instructions here to set up Vacation Mode. This will prohibit you from missing any orders due to time out of the office.

Shipping

How much time do I have to ship an order?

You are allowed 48 hours to ship an order upon receiving order confirmation from us. After 48 hours, orders will be risked for auto-void and you will not be paid, regardless if you have shipped the merchandise or not.

Can I extend the 48-hour order processing deadline on certain items?

No, you are allowed 48 hours on all items sold on Newegg Marketplace. If you know that certain items require more than 48 hours to prepare, we encourage you not to list those items on our marketplace.

Will Newegg pursue the customer for payment if I ship an order that was auto-voided (past 48-hour shipping deadline)?

No, Newegg will not be responsible for pursuing payment on your behalf. Fulfilling orders within 48 hours is the responsibility of our sellers.

Will Newegg refund me for the merchandise if I ship an auto-voided order?

No, Newegg will not credit sellers for merchandise loss. If an order is not shipped within 48 hours, sellers are responsible.

Does the 48-hour deadline Include weekends or holidays?

No, the 48 hour deadline includes working business days only. Each order has a date time stamp which indicates when orders will auto-void. The 48 hour time-stamp is calculated in Pacific Standard Time (PST). This time stamp is located in the Order List in our Seller Portal.

Please note: If you are not in the Pacific Standard Time Zone, please process your orders earlier to prevent auto-voids.

Feedback and Performance

What is the Seller Feedback Rating?

The Newegg Marketplace third-party seller rating system is 1 to 5 eggs, with 5 eggs being the best. After a customer has ordered from a third party seller, customer may leave comment, feedback, and/or ratings to inform other customers about their experience. We consider 4 to 5 egg ratings as positive experiences, 3 is neutral, and 1 to 2 eggs are negative experiences. A third-party seller’s average rating will appear alongside their name on Newegg site. See our completed seller review Posting Policy.

Can I respond to negative feedback for an order?

Most sellers will receive some negative feedback at one time or another. If you have large number of negative feedback, you may want to review your business practices and adjust to the demands of your customers. When you receive a negative feedback, there are several ways you can respond:

  • Learn from it: Each negative feedback remark is a great opportunity to learn about and improve your operational practices. When you are signed in your seller account on Seller Portal, you can see the customer’s name and the associated order numbers. Review the order which received the negative feedback, fix any underlying problems in your operation, and move on.
  • Ask the buyer to remove the feedback: If you want to respond to negative feedback, the best option is to work with the customer to improve the situation that led to the negative feedback. Then, ask the customer to remove the feedback. To do this, contact the customer with concern over the problem, and remedy it if possible. If you develop a positive relationship, ask the customer to remove the feedback. When contacting a customer, always keep in mind that pressuring a customer is unacceptable and a violation of our policies.How to remove seller feedback
    Log in to Newegg.com -> Go to “Order History” and find the order with feedback you would like to remove -> click the submitted feedback link (eggs) -> Click “Delete” button on the right.
  • Leave a response to the feedback: If you cannot work with the customer to remove the feedback, leave a professional and positive comment in response to the feedback, and move on. Always keep in mind that inappropriate response is unacceptable and a violation of our policies.How to leave a response to the feedback
    Log in to Newegg Seller Portal -> Click “Customer Rating Report” under “Business Report” -> Select the feedback you would like to respond, click “Respond” button to reply. If the buyer eventually decides to remove the feedback they left, your response will automatically be removed.

How will my seller feedback rating impact my seller performance?

We focus on both seller’s average feedback rating as well as the number of orders which have negative feedback ratings as a percentage of total order count as an indicator of seller performance. Seller should maintain overall average seller feedback rating at above 3-egg level.

How does Newegg measure seller’s performance?

Newegg places customer experience as of highest importance. We have established acceptable standards on customer experience related performance metrics so millions of Newegg value customers can shop with a sense of safety and security from our third party seller community. We at Newegg are constantly searching for new ways to improve our customer experience and we are updating the standard and target on our third party seller’s performance metrics from time to time accordingly. To find out the most updated standards on seller performance metrics, click here. Here are some tips for the best practice:

  • All orders must be shipped within 2 business days of receiving order from Newegg. To ensure optimum customer experience, having orders shipped out within 1 – 2 business day(s) with order tracking numbers updated would be highly recommended. Orders will be voided automatically if not being fulfilled within 2 business days and such voids will contribute to seller’s order per-fulfillment void ratio.
  • All sellers must maintain sales order pre-fulfillment void ratio not exceeding 5%. Pre-Fulfillment void ratio is the number of orders voided by a seller prior to ship confirms divided by the number of total orders the seller received from Newegg.
  • Maintain positive overall customer feedback ratings. 4 to 5 egg rating considered as positive rating, 3 egg rating considered as neutral, and the ratings with less than 3 eggs considered as negative.
  • Orders with negative customer feedback ratings OR orders with refund RMA OR both are considered as orders without meeting customer’s expectation. Those orders are defined as defect orders. All sellers must maintain the overall ratio of defect orders among all the orders sellers fulfilled during the time period not exceeding 3%.
  • All customer emails must be responded to within 1 business day of receipt. Slow responding to customer emails on any order issues likely causes customer to leave negative feedback and ratings.

What are my options for shipping?

Shipped by Seller – You can ship products directly to customers with your preferred carrier, as long as you have the ability to ship the package internationally and deliver the order to the customer within the committed delivery time. Below are some commonly used international shipping carriers.

  • UPS
  • FedEx
  • DHL
  • EMS / Postal

We require all packages are trackable during transit and to be shipped with Customs Duties and Taxes prepaid (Delivered Duty Paid, or DDP), to ensure timely delivery and better shopping experience for international customers. Be sure to take this into consideration when setting up your shipping rate table.

Shipped by Newegg (SBN) – You can utilize SBN, Newegg’s award winning order fulfillment service to save time and cost. Newegg picks, packs and ships the order straight to international customers on your behalf.

Newegg also handles return and customer services on SBN orders.

Newegg’s rates are typically more than 17% lower when compared to similar fulfillment services offered by other marketplaces, and we have not raised costs to our sellers since the program’s inception four years ago.

For more info and rates on SBN, see here.

Stay tune for more announcements of new shipping services soon to be available. It is our goal to reduce the complexity of international shipping for you as you take your business beyond borders.

How are Customs Duties and Import Taxes calculated and charged?

Newegg will calculate and charge customer for Customs Duties and any applicable taxes at time of order checkout. If you are shipping the order directly to the customer, Newegg will remit the full amount back to you during regularly scheduled payments.

If you are the party shipping the order, make sure the outbound package is shipped with the proper customs labels and clearance forms to ensure smooth delivery to customer. If packages are held or delayed through the customs clearance process, you as the shipper of record are responsible for contacting the appropriate customs agency and to notifying the customer of any delivery delays.

Are there any items that are prohibited from International Shipping?

As a seller participating in Newegg Global selling program, you are required to comply with and are subject to all applicable laws and regulations of the origin countries of the products as well as the destination countries for the orders.

Since most of the international shipping carriers are utilizing dedicated air transportation or commercial airline for shipping goods internationally, commonly prohibited items for air transportation such as illegal or hazardous items are restricted. Certain restrictions are also placed on the size and weight of the items depending on the shipping modes and the carrier you choose.

Any item that is prohibited from being sold on Newegg Marketplace cannot be shipped internationally through Newegg Global. You can see the complete list here.

As a best practice, before you select additional countries to sell into, you should research and understand whether your products are appropriate for the destination country, and ensure that you comply with all laws and importing regulations for that country. In addition, check to make sure your product specification, including voltage and plug compatibility in electronics and appliances for example, are suitable for usage in the intended country. Other considerations include varying sizes and standard measurements between countries when it comes to apparel, and home furnishing, as well as ingredients in cosmetics and beauty products.

How do I manage International Returns?

All Global returns and refunds will be handled through Newegg Return Service. This mandatory service ensures customers with a uniform and quality return experience throughout all 80+ countries. In a further effort to standardize a return policy across all regions, Newegg requires that returns on all products fall within 30 days from invoice date or 15 days from delivery date, whichever comes later. International returns will only be covered by refund and customers will not be provided with an option for replacement. Sellers will have the ability to modify their own return policy with customizable restocking fee range of up to 30%.

For all products that are fulfilled through Shipped by Seller and Shipped by Newegg, Newegg will be the party responsible for approving and processing customer returns on your behalf.

Here’s how it works:

  • To initiate a return, customers need to log into their customer account and initiate return request via online return portal.
  • Based on the date of return request and return reason, Newegg will accept or deny returns and will offer options for return shipping either paid by Newegg or by the customer.
  • Upon receiving the returned merchandise, Newegg return team will inspect, grade the package, and take appropriate action including:
    • Approve or deny the return. If approved, Newegg will issue the refund, consolidate and ship the returned merchandise to a U.S. return center. The seller will be notified by Newegg that a return has been processed. Seller will need to coordinate with Newegg Marketplace Seller Services team and Marketplace Logistics Service team for return inventory disposition. For more information regarding disposal fees, please refer to Newegg Return Servicedetails.
  • Seller will not be charged for the processing and return of the product. Seller is only responsible for the inventory disposal fees.

Who handles customer service ?

Shipped by Seller:
For items shipped by seller, you are responsible for servicing and communicating with the customer. For any inbound customer inquiries or questions, we ask that you respond to all messages within 48 hours or before the end of next business day, whichever comes first. We do recommend a 24 hour response time to all customer messages, as your response time does impact your overall Seller Performance Measurement, for more info see here.

If a customer’s inquiry or question is not addressed within the allowed response time period, Newegg customer service will step in as necessary to respond to or resolve the issue at our discretion on your behalf.
You are not required to have a local customer service support by phone, as long as you have a valid customer service e-mail address in which customer can reach you and receive timely responses from.

Shipped by Newegg
Newegg will provide 24-hour customer service on your behalf in local languages through email and chat, with selective countries offering local language phone support. Newegg return service is automatically provided on all SBN orders.

With local language customer service and return processing (local return address in selective countries), you can be sure that customers are provided with world-class customer service. Newegg simplifies international customer service, so you can focus on growing your business.

For every Return Request, you will receive an email notification with details. You can also review the request details at Seller Portal > Order > Return List. We encourage you to regularly check your Seller account to be sure you’re aware of all Marketplace Guarantee Return Requests filed against you.

What happens after the Buyer submits a Marketplace Guarantee Return Request?

For each Return Request, the Seller has 5 business days to work with the Buyer to resolve any issues. After that window, the system will automatically process the Return Request for the Buyer.

 

Buyers may submit a Return Request under three main classifications:

  1. Return Reason: Item Not Received
  2. Return Reason: Damaged Item
  3. Return Reason: All Other Causes

Return Reason: Item Not Received –

For this classification, the system will not auto-generate a return shipping label. Instead, the system will notify the Seller via email that a Return Request is active.

 

The Seller has four options:

  1. Process the refund. This completes the Return Request.
  2. Appeal. The Seller can appeal the Return Request, which notifies Newegg Marketplace Seller Support to investigate the appealed Return Request and determine the outcome. This completes the Seller’s portion of the Return Request unless Seller Support indicates additional actions are required by the Seller.
  3. Provide shipping label. The seller can either use a Newegg Shipping label or their own for the customer to return the damaged product. Once received, the seller can process the refund or replacement and the Return Request will be closed.
  4. Failure to Process Refund. If a Return Request is not processed or appealed within 5 business days, the system will auto-generate an approval for the Buyer. This completes the Return Request and will negatively impact Seller Performance.

Return Reason: Damaged Item –

For this classification, the system will not auto-generate a return shipping label. Instead, the system will notify the Seller via email that a Return Request is active.

The Seller has three options:

  1. Process the refund. This completes the Return Request.
  2. Appeal. The Seller can appeal the Return Request, which notifies Newegg Marketplace Seller Support to investigate the appealed Return Request and determine the outcome. This completes the Seller’s portion of the Return Request unless Seller Support indicates additional actions are required by the Seller.
  3. Failure to Process Refund. If a Return Request is not processed or appealed within 5 business days, the system will auto-generate an approval for the Buyer. This completes the Return Request and will negatively impact Seller Performance.

Return Reason: All Other Causes

For this classification, the Buyer will select on the Newegg website if they desire a refund or replacement and choose whether they want to use a Newegg Shipping Label or their own label.

 

The Seller has three options:

  1. Process the refund. This completes the Return Request.
  2. Appeal. The Seller can appeal the Return Request, which notifies Newegg Marketplace Seller Support to investigate the appealed Return Request and determine the outcome. This completes the Seller’s portion of the Return Request unless Seller Support indicates additional actions are required by the Seller.
  3. Failure to Process Refund. If a Return Request is not processed or appealed within 5 business days, the system will auto-generate an approval for the Buyer. This completes the Return Request and will negatively impact Seller Performance.

How do I resolve a Marketplace Guarantee Return Request that was opened?

To resolve a Return Request, simply visit Seller Portal > Order > Return List and locate the open Return Request. A Seller has the option to immediately resolve the Return Request by processing a return or appealing the request. If no appeal or action is taken by the Seller, a return will automatically process after 5 business days.

What do I do if my Buyer won’t return the item for which they filed a Return Request?

Newegg does not require that Buyers return the item they received once reimbursed for an order via the Marketplace Guarantee Return Request. Instead, an arrangement can be made directly between the Seller and the Buyer to return the item afterward

What do I do if I disagree with an open Return Request?

Please contact our Seller Service Team within 5 business days of receiving the Return Request to appeal a Return Request. Failure to appeal within 5 business days will result in an automatic resolution decision for the buyer.

What do I do if I disagree with the resolution decision?

Suppose a Seller appealed a Return Request within 5 business days and still disagrees with the resolution decision. In that case, they should contact Seller Services. If the resolution decision is automatic and a result of the Seller failing to appeal the Return Request within 5 business days, then the resolution decision stands and cannot be altered.

How might a Return Request affect Seller Performance?

Failure to act on the mandatory 5-day Return Request window will affect your order defect rate. However, please be advised all RMA refunds issued through the account will remain within your performance metrics as a record of the refunds issued on the account.

To learn how actions impact your Seller performance measurement, please reference our Newegg Seller Performance Measurement guide.

Newegg Elite Seller

What is an Newegg Elite Seller?

There are 3 types of membership levels: Non-Elite, Professional and Enterprise. Please visit the link here for more information.

I’m already a seller on Newegg Marketplace, how do I upgrade?

If you are currently a seller on Newegg Marketplace you can upgrade anytime! The Professional and Enterprise membership levels provide exclusive benefits to help you engage your customers and grow your business. To upgrade, simply login into Newegg Seller Portal > Manage Account > Membership Settings. For additional details on how to upgrade your membership see the Membership Upgrade article for Newegg Elite Sellers.

Is Newegg Elite Seller available on all Newegg platforms?

At this time Newegg Elite Seller and its Non-Elite, Professional, and Enterprise membership levels is only available to sellers on the Newegg.com platform.

Can I pay for certain membership features separately (a la carte)?

Although we realize that it may sound appealing to only purchase a single feature we’re confident you’ll change your mind. By joining Newegg Marketplace as a Professional or Enterprise Seller you receive access to a wealth of marketing programs as well as substantial discounts on services like Shipped By Newegg and Newegg Shipping Label Service.

When can I upgrade my Newegg Elite Seller membership?

You can upgrade anytime! Once you upgrade, you will receive immediate access to your membership features.

Why should I upgrade my Newegg Elite Seller membership?

Ultimately, upgrading your Newegg Elite Seller membership has to make business sense for you, but here are a few common reasons to upgrade:

  • I want to increase customer engagement & repeat business
  • I am using Shipped by Newegg (SBN) or Newegg Shipping Label Service and would like to reduce costs
  • I want to be eligible for more marketing programs from Newegg
  • I want to list more items

If you find yourself saying things like this then consider upgrading to a Professional or Enterprise membership.

How can a personalized Post Purchase Email help my business?

Personalized Post Purchase Emails allow you to target your customers with custom offers and product selections, helping to drive brand engagement and return business. The Post Purchase Email service is available exclusively to Enterprise Sellers.

What types of emails can I send?

Newegg provides a variety of email templates designed to increase customer engagement with your Newegg store. These email templates include promo code emails, suggested products emails, and storewide promotion emails. At this time we only allow sellers to use Newegg’s curated email templates. For more details, refer to the Membership Upgrade article for Newegg Elite Sellers.

Who can I send Post Purchase Emails to?

As an Enterprise Seller, the Post Purchase Email service allows you to send one email per customer order transaction that has occurred within the last 90 days. Post Purchase Emails can be schedule to send on any future day and time. This is a powerful communication tool and we strongly encourage you only send value-added content to avoid inadvertently spamming your customers and decreasing your subscription rate.

Can I segment my email audience?

Yes! You can easily group customers together to create custom segments using Seller Portal. By segmenting your email audience based on product category you can effectively retarget customers with similar shopping interests. Once you’ve created a customer segment you can choose a curated email template that best targets that group of customers. The Newegg team is always here to help if you need any ideas on how to leverage this tool.

How is my membership billed?

The Non-Elite membership is always free! If you have upgraded to a Professional or Enterprise membership, you will be billed monthly on the credit card (U.S. and international credit cards accepted) that is on file for your seller account. Your card will be billed on the 21st of each month for the upcoming calendar month.

How do I cancel my membership?

When you enroll as a Professional or Enterprise Seller on Newegg Marketplace we ask you to commit for 6 months. Why 6 months? We believe 6 months will give you time to accurately assess the impact of the exclusive features available to Professional and Enterprise Sellers. If after 6 months you aren’t satisfied you can cancel your membership and continue to operate as a Standard Seller. To cancel your membership contact elitesupport@newegg.com.

Keep in mind that once you cancel your Professional or Enterprise membership you will lose access to any features exclusive to those membership levels including the number of items you are able to list.

Fraud Prevention

Who is responsible for fraud prevention?

Newegg is responsible for checking customer information for potential fraud. Once we validate customer information, the order confirmation will be sent to your Seller Portal. This is when the 72 hour auto-void deadline begins.

Please Note: You may receive an email from us asking you to void or stop an order from shipping because we later discovered fraudulent activity after the order confirmation was sent to you. Please do not be alarmed, you will still be paid for the item if you are unable to void the order. We ask that you attempt to recall any orders valued above $25 if they were shipped. We will credit you any recall fees assessed by your shipping company to return the package back to you. If you have any questions regarding this, please email us at marketplacesupport@newegg.com.

Refunds and Returns

What is the difference between a courtesy refund and an RMA refund?

  • Courtesy refund is used when you want to issue a partial refund to the customer as a courtesy from your company, without requiring the customer to return the product.
  • RMA refund is used when you require our customer to return the merchandise back to you.

Please Note: Courtesy Refund does not refund commission back to you because it is a courtesy from your company and it does not refund sales tax (if applicable) back to the customer. So we encourage our sellers to use RMA Refund whenever possible.

Shipped by Newegg

How do I use your Shipped by Newegg service?
