EVENKEEL Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I just do COD. I was stumped as well trying to set it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Never tried to, or even heard of it, but suspect you have to set up via mail to Shopee customer service - that was what I had to do when setting up IBanking/refunds directly to my BBL account. I have been using IBangkok online of Bangkok Bank (Shopee takes me to sign on and returns after payment made). Believe photo of passport marked as only for Shopee account setup (or some such wording) and of account passbook with same notation as I recall. Customer service person was very clear on what to do. But as said was years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celsius Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I have done it. I even registered as seller on shopee. You have to contact English speaking department through messaging app as they have special people who deal with foreign clients. You will need your passport and of course a Thai Bank account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually i want to do it because COD is a PITA with Flash Express, they pretend i've changed delivery date when it's them without asking. If i pay already maybe they can just deliver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make it impossible to contact them using app chat, it's in Thai, using translate doesn't work as the app goes back to the start, typical Shopee, rubbish compared to Lazada 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their mobile app is superior, they release money to the seller only after you confirm everything is ok with the order and their voucher program is more appealing. I have started using shopee food over grab now as I can get some incredible deals. The only problem is that unlike Lazada shopee does not accept foreign credit cards and I like collecting my points.

Celsius Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I also have to add something. I am a bit of a toy collector and I ordered a few things from Amazon UK and US. Shipped directly from Amazon, not a 3rd party seller. 80% of my orders arrive in criminal condition due to extremely poor packaging, Toys literally arrive in carton envelope without any protection and most of the time they look like someone sat on them. Amazon UK makes international return very difficult. They require you to pay shipping for yourself and they will reimburse you when they receive it. However, they want your postal receipt to be in English and once they denied the return because it was sent via Thailand Post even though tracking and country name was clearly visible. In over 1000 packages I ordered through Shopee and Lazada all sellers took extra time to properly package their items. Amazon has truly become a Mickey Mouse company. They treat both their buyers and sellers like garbage. When I say buyers do you ever notice the condescending and arrogant prewritten emails they send to their costumers about how they want to delight you with their service while completely ignoring issue at hand? The message is full of woke terminology and BS that makes you puke. Appalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a while ago but as I recall I had to go to the shopee app on the phone, you can't use the computer. I had to upload the passport and as I remember then had to stand in front of the phone to take my own photo. Here are instructions from Shopee. If you had problems, I would just call the customer service number and talk to an agent. Even according to this link, a foreign passport is acceptable. If you have a Thai drivers license it may be easier. https://help.shopee.ph/portal/article/81097-How-to-make-sure-your-ID-is-approved-for-ShopeePay-verification%3F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellotakoya Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) If you use the ShopeePay app instead of the Shopee app, there is an option to change to passport, although it is hard to find.

That worked thanks, approved it in a couple minutes, that then updated Shopee app automatically. Now payment options are ShopeePay, bank account, QR code, many options, not just COD. Do you top up ShopeePay the same as truemoneywallet via Bank top up? or set up a link between ShopeePay and bank account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 You think Shopee's bad? What about Siamburies expat foods? I tried to order just as I did a few times previously, now they tell me my password is wrong, I tried to get a new one, they told me they would send a link to my email address. that was lies, they never did, I tried three times, no link sent at all. They have now lost a good customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
