What's left after deductions in the Trendyol Bags category?
The commission rate for the Bags category is %21,36; the deduction is calculated as VAT-included sale price × rate, and the commission invoice is issued VAT-included. But commission isn't the only deduction: a per-order platform service fee and a %1 e-commerce withholding tax are also added; on top of that, a shipping cost is deducted per shipment. The table below shows the amount left at different sale amounts, excluding shipping and product cost. It assumes 20% product VAT for the withholding-tax base; a different product VAT rate changes the result.

Factors affecting profit when selling Bags
Apparel is Trendyol's highest-volume but highest-return-rate category. Even though the commission sits in the 21-23% band, the real profit erosion comes from returns: size/color mismatches can push the return rate up to 20%, and every return creates two-way shipping cost. In this category, profit is protected less by lowering the commission and more by lowering the return rate.
Lower the return rate with a size chart
A detailed size chart with real measurements plus multi-angle imagery noticeably reduces size-driven returns. Pulling the return rate from 15% down to 8% brings more profit than cutting the commission by 2%.
Raise the basket value, split the shipping burden
When the average apparel basket is low, shipping eats a proportionally large share of the sale. Use outfit/set suggestions and a free-shipping threshold to reduce the per-order shipping burden.
Balance Buybox and ads against margin
In highly competitive apparel, cutting price wins the Buybox but can zero out your margin. Running ads/repricing without knowing your floor price (commission + shipping + cost) is selling at a loss.
Apparel items are generally in the 1-3 desi range; apart from heavy coats/jackets, shipping cost is moderate. The real cost item is not shipping but the two-way shipping of returned products — any profit calculation that ignores the return rate is misleading.

Open the profit calculatorFrequently Asked Questions
Why is the Trendyol apparel commission high?
Because apparel is a high-volume, high-return, intensely competitive category, the commission is in the 21-23% band. The platform also balances the return/logistics burden with this rate.
Is the commission on an apparel return refunded?
When the product is returned and the sale is canceled, the related commission is reflected back into the payout; however, shipping and operational costs may remain on the seller. Check it line by line on the payout screen.
What should the profit margin be in apparel?
Because the return rate is high, keeping the gross margin at least 35-40% in apparel provides a buffer against return + shipping fluctuations. Always add the return rate to your net profit calculation.
Which apparel sub-category is more profitable?
Accessory-heavy products with low return rates (scarves, beanies, hats) don't experience size-driven returns, so at the same commission they leave more stable profit than apparel.
