Dunno leh. Lazada, Shopee and Qoo10 are all same same. Quite common to see the exact same vendors, opening shop in all 3 platforms, selling the exact same things, at the exact same price. Sometimes, Shopback rebate will be the deciding factor for me when deciding which platform to purchase from.

Lazada, or any other e-commerce, can give member voucher directly to offset purchase. Why use shopback?

That's why Lazada don't use shopback any more.

no more stacking.

Which is why i stopped using Lazada, unless it's for something not found on the other platforms (almost never happens). Other platforms let me stack. Lazada doesn't. It's a no-brainer.

There are times that Lazada offers vouchers. Don't tell me you prefer the little cashback from Shopback.

Shopback is a distraction to Lazada marketing. If Lazada wants to attract customers, it can just offer voucher directly. It is more effective and targeted.

All ecommerce platform offer vouchers, at the end of the day just go with the one that offer the lowest price (all offers in) for the same product.

but they all partner different banks/merchants etc and with different platform vouchers.

shopback was probably just noise around the edge for Lazada.

All things equal if shopback give the small savings that makes the differentiating factor, then why not?

Pretty much this. Everybody has vouchers in spades...

On occasions where i'm too lazy to do an in-depth comparison across all 3 platforms, I simply write off Lazada, because i expect a 50:50 chance of Lazada being able to give better vouchers than the other platforms, but they have a 100% chance to lose to the other platforms on the cashback department.

Odds are, Lazada will give you a slightly worse deal.

are all things equal?

Plus, who pays shopback? Why pay?

Are things not equal? Are Lazada vouchers better than it's competitors? I'm not seeing it. Lazada and the other platforms pays shopback. And they earn it back from us, the consumers. However, now that Lazada has stopped paying shopback, i'm not seeing a noticeably better deal. Looks like Lazada has simply pocketed the cost savings.

put you in Lazada's shoes.

Shopback refers your own member to your sales. What exactly value does shopback provide?

The same why Grab drops shopback once it is large enough platform.

Ain't all business try to earn more and pay less? Ain't you as a consumer?

really no hard feelings for shopback to drop any merchants or any merchant dropping shopback. Again, noise around the edge.

I never said that what Lazada did was wrong. It's perfectly logical and it's alright. Just like it's perfectly logical and alright that i reduce my shopping on Lazada, because they're likely to give a worse deal now. Lazada probably doesn't care, because their higher margins from cost cutting, likely offsets the revenue reduction. Cutting out Shopback is likely not a move that Lazada took lightly. For such a big company, they would have hired people smarter than me, calculating all the likely outcomes, before they made this decision.

There's no hard feelings from me either. It's business as usual.

On a bright side, less the Lazada issue, I just received the Christmas stamp and save amount! It’s now under tracked

Anyone has shopback email address for enquiries? I have rebates tracked for more than 90 days but can't seem to find the help option or contact info.
