I would like to propose a "Tiered Seller Program" that rewards high-performance sellers by reducing the platform commission percentage once specific milestones are reached. Currently, a flat fee applies to all, but a scalable model would incentivize sellers to consolidate their inventory and marketing efforts on Pango rather than cross-listing on other platforms.
Proposed Thresholds (The "Power Seller" Tiers):
The commission reduction could be triggered by one or a combination of the following:
Total Lifetime Sales ($$): e.g., reaching $5,000 in gross sales.
Sales Volume (#): e.g., successfully completing 500 orders.
Inventory Depth: e.g., maintaining a consistent library of 1,000+ active listings.
Why this is a "Win-Win" for Pango:
Sellers Retention: It discourages "Power Sellers" from migrating to platforms with lower fees once they’ve established a brand.
Increased Inventory: Sellers will be motivated to list more books to hit the next "discount tier," leading to a wider selection for buyers.
Marketplace Professionalism: High-volume sellers typically have more experience with shipping and customer service, reducing the support load on the Pango team.
