    [Related to compensation and refund]

    Q: How much compensation can I get after the buyer successfully returns the goods?

    Answer: Compensation (RMB) = the amount paid by the buyer (US dollars) * US dollar to RMB exchange rate (the exchange rate is based on the official website data of the Bank of China on the 1st of each month).

    The actual amount does not include any form of store coupons and freight, nor does it include taxes and fees borne by buyers (such as excise taxes in some states of the United States). The compensation will be automatically entered into your domestic Alipay account after the return order is completed.

    For example, the seller's premium rate is 1.3%, Commodity A (priced at $100) participates in the worry-free return protection plan, commodity B (priced at $50) does not participate in the worry-free return protection plan. The buyer places an order to buy 1 item A and one item B, the seller sets a freight of $30, and the store coupon is $10. The buyer is not levied excise tax, and the seller actually pays the worry-free return premium = $100*1.3%. The buyer initiates an application for the return of A and B goods, A returns to the local return address, and B returns to the seller's return address in China. After the buyer returns successfully, the actual compensation (RMB) receivable by the seller = $100 * USD to RMB exchange rate (the exchange rate is based on the official website data of Bank of China on the 1 of each month).


    Q: I see that the order has been refunded. When will I pay me compensation?

    Answer: After the order is refunded, the seller will generally be compensated within 5 working days. You can view it in your domestic Alipay account.


    Q: I saw that the order had been refunded. Where can I check the reimbursement?
