The E-commerce giant, Flipkart somehow was trying to recover its share after so many issues which happened in the past few months.
After it increased the commissions for the merchants to 5% -6% and also charging from the customers side for the return items from the customers side(whether the merchant is faulty or not), people were continuously criticizing Flipkart for its new policies and were telling that- it will gradually decrease the shares of Flipkart and so it now came up with the clarification that- our number of merchants has increased in June by 3000 with the new policies which also includes that there will be the 50% discount on the commission if the vendors use it's warehouse for the shipments.
Presently it stated that the number of merchants in May'16 were 90,000 and now it is 93,000. They also stated that- will be focusing on regaining the trust of the merchants again by sorting out the problems at the ground level. Amazon and Snapdeal stated that they have about 1 lac vendors listed and that of PayTm claimed having 1.2 lac merchants on its website.
Flipkart currently works on 80 categories. It can be truly seen that- this sudden statements on the increased number of merchants in the last month is a technique used by Flipkart to regain the trust of its lost vendors and also to gain more trust of the existing vendors.
