Scam Alert!⚠️ Ecom Sellers Beware of Morecommerce.com. ⚠️ They are a fraud! ⚠️ Read and Share!
MoreCommerce.com advertises their services as a one-stop marketplace where they will take your products on many online marketplaces through their accounts.
We signed up with them in August because we wanted to access Target.com marketplace. For some reason, Target's seller approval process is incredibly slow and we just wanted to access it faster.
Morecommerce was already registered with Target.com and they seemed like a good solution to push the products fast and test the marketplace.
From the get-go we started doing well on Target.com but Morecommerce.com was always late with the payments. I always had to remind them to make the payments.
However, I didn't consider it a big deal. 1-2 weeks delays is not unheard of.
In December and January we had very good sales on Target and on Jan 15, we were waiting to receive the payment for the first 2 weeks of December. That didn't come. I didn't worry, as they were always late with the payments and just assumed it's normal after Q4.
On Jan 24, I noticed there are no more orders coming in from MoreCommerce and looked for our brand on Target. This was not to be found.
I asked MoreCommerce to look into this and here is what they said:

Thank you for your message, and I apologize for any delayed response. At MoreCommerce, we deeply value your partnership and the trust you have placed in us. We fully understand and appreciate your concerns.
As of January 21, 2025, we have paused new order activity on the MoreCommerce platform to conduct a thorough evaluation of our operations and explore strategic options for the business.
We recognize that you may have questions, particularly regarding settlements and receivables. Please know that addressing these matters is a top priority for us. Our team is actively working to provide detailed updates on settlements and payment timelines. You can expect further communication from us in early February.
If they knew they had issues or a shift in plans, they should have given everybody at least 1 month notice. But no, this was very much premeditated. They waited for December sales, the best time of year for any seller. Now they are not answering anymore.
We're talking about tens of thousands $$$ here just from myself. Can you imagine how many sellers are affected?
Their website is still active, so BEWARE. Do not register! Do not use MoreCommerce! They will literally steal your money.
