Flipkart cuts seller fees to take on Meesho

MUMBAI: Walmart-owned Flipkart will no longer charge any commission to sellers for products priced within Rs 1,000, which covers broad se-lection of the product listings on the platform. In a move that analysts say has been taken to fend off competition from value commerce player Meesho, Flipkart will also not charge commission for any product sold on its hyper-value platform Shopsy.

The value offering essentially caters to the masses and low-income segments with a large share of the products priced at a few hundred rupees.
