So documentation could be a VAT registration, TIN registration and a legal agreement. The commission they charge varies from category to category. So if you are selling apparel, the commission charged will be different from someone selling electronics. You would also have to go through a quality check, so once you get registered you will have to submit your first catalogue, with good quality images, which will be authenticated by the marketplace in a few days.
