Do I need to pay a deposit to open a Taobao shop?

There is no need to pay a deposit, but after the payment, the benefits will be more and more convenient.

Opening a shop on Taobao is free. As long as you sign an agreement to join the consumer protection in the backstage of Niu Qian Seller Center, you can release the product.
