In this episode, Jordan breaks down why TikTok Shop sellers are quietly bleeding cash—and how to plug the holes before it's too late. We walk through the real math behind a $100 order, the creator commission trap, fulfillment pitfalls, and platform fees that sneak up on even the most seasoned operators.
