How Sellers Can Prevent Junk and Vulgar Listings from Hurting Their Shopee Store

For Shopee sellers, every product listing represents a potential sale, but not all listings are created equal. Listings that contain poor-quality content or inappropriate material can harm your store’s reputation, get deleted, and even result in penalty points. Shopee specifically flags junk and vulgar listings, and understanding these rules is key to keeping your store safe and your products live.

What Counts as a Junk Listing in Shopee

A junk listing on Shopee is any product listing that doesn’t meet the platform’s quality standards and could confuse or mislead buyers. Common problems include:

  • Mismatched images and descriptions – for example, showing shoes in the photos while the listing is for a handbag.

  • Low-quality images – blurry, pixelated, or poorly cropped photos that make it difficult for buyers to see the product clearly.

  • Wrong language usage – Shopee only accepts Bahasa Malaysia, English, or Mandarin. Using gibberish, slang, or unsupported languages can get your listing flagged.

  • Dishonest or unclear content – including random text, keyword stuffing, or fake reviews that mislead buyers.

If a listing is flagged as junk, Shopee may ban or delete it. To fix it, sellers should resubmit the listing with accurate information and proper images. Failing to correct the listing before resubmission could result in permanent deletion and penalty points under Shopee’s Seller Penalty Points System.

What Counts as a Vulgar Listing in Shopee

A vulgar listing on Shopee is any product listing that contains offensive, inappropriate, or defamatory content. Common examples include:

  • Condemning or defaming a company, brand, or person

  • Using sexually explicit product names, descriptions, or images

  • Including vulgar language or unrelated inappropriate content

Shopee will delete vulgar listings immediately, and there is no way to recover them once removed. Sellers will also receive penalty points under the “Spam Listing” category, so it’s important to keep all listings professional, accurate, and appropriate.
