Category Commission
Daraz Commission on Watches
Watches look like one category, but the table rates them in three different places. The gap between a fashion watch and a sports watch is more than ten points.
Short Answer
Fashion and casual watches on Daraz Pakistan carry 20% commission excluding VAT, while sports watches in Sports & Outdoors carry 9.55%. The most common rate in this table is 20%. Smartwatches are on a separate page because they are rated lower again. Add 15% VAT on the commission.

What Should Watches Sellers Watch?
Under Watches Sunglasses Jewellery, the Watches branch is 20% for Men, Women, Kids and Unisex, including the Business, Casual and Fashion rows under Men. A boys watch in the Toys Kids & Babies tree is also 20%.
Sports watches are a different category. Sports & Outdoors > Sport Watches & Sunglasses > Sports Watches is 9.55%, and so are Heart Rate Monitors, Stopwatches and the Men and Women rows. For a watch sold as a sports or fitness product, that is less than half the fashion rate.
For a watch that is both stylish and sporty, your category path in Seller Center decides the rate, not the product name. Read the path on the live listing and use that. On a Rs 6,500 watch the gap between 20% and 9.55% is about Rs 680 before VAT, so it is worth checking.
There is a trap inside the Watches branch itself. Men, Women and Unisex each have a Sports row, and all three are 20%, the same as Casual, Business and Fashion. A sports-style watch listed there pays 20%, while one listed under Sports & Outdoors > Sports Watches pays 9.55%. Men, Women and Unisex also have an Accessories row at 20%. Kids watches appear in two trees, Watches > Kids and Toys Kids & Babies > Kids > Boys > Watches, and both read 20%.
How Does This Compare with the Rest of the List?
Across the 7,819 rated paths on the full list (leaving out charity categories at 0% and the special digital products branch), rates run from 0.9% to 25.55% with a median of 12.8%. The most common rate here, 20%, is above that median, and about 91% of rated paths on the list carry a lower rate.
Fashion watches share the 20% band with jewellery and eyewear. Sports watches, at 9.55%, match many other Sports & Outdoors rows. Smartwatches are lower again, down to 5%. A watch seller who carries all three types is dealing with three different cost structures.
Worked Example: Commission with and Without VAT
Example. Store A sells a men’s casual watch for Rs 6,500. The price is made up; the rate is the real Men > Casual rate.
| Line | Men > Casual |
|---|---|
| Selling price (made up) | Rs 6,500 |
| Commission rate, excluding VAT | 20% |
| Commission, excluding VAT | Rs 1,300.00 |
| VAT on commission (15%) | Rs 195.00 |
| Commission on the statement | Rs 1,495.00 |
| As a share of the price | 23% |
| Payment fee, 2.25% plus VAT (2.5875%) | Rs 168.19 |
| Left after these two lines | Rs 4,836.81 |
The path is Watches Sunglasses Jewellery > Watches > Men > Casual. The last row is before handling, Daraz shipping charges, withholding tax and your product cost. The payment fee and VAT figures are what we saw on the statements we checked.
