      • After-sale treasure disputes are handled directly by the platform. If the dispute shows that the AE platform is funded by the platform and refunded to the buyer, the order money is normally released to the seller.


      • Why do some after-sales treasure disputes need to be handled by me?

        • Whether the after-sale treasure order is handled by the platform or the seller itself depends on the reason for the buyer's dispute . The details are as follows (the handling rules of the after-sale treasure dispute platform):

          1. When a buyer raises a dispute of "mismatched version" , the platform is generally involved in verification and processing. However, if the platform judges that the issues involved in the dispute are not within the scope of after-sales treasures (such as short-packed goods, fake goods, etc.), then you still need to negotiate with the buyer and pay attention to the dispute email notification;

          2. If the buyer files a dispute of "not received goods" , the seller still needs to handle it by himself. When the buyer files a refund, the seller needs to accept or reject the buyer's dispute within 5 days of filing the dispute. If the buyer fails to respond within the time limit, the system will automatically execute the refund according to the buyer's refund amount;

If the buyer returns the goods for no reason/the buyer's personal reasons, the buyer will directly enter the return process. The buyer's personal reasons include: the buyer placed the wrong order, the buyer no longer needs the ordered product, the buyer purchased the lower-priced high-quality product, the logistics method is inconsistent, etc.





If the customer requests to return the product, who will bear the return shipping cost of the product?

    2. Compensation will be mentioned in the dispute judgment meeting. In this scenario, the buyer generally bears the return shipping fee, and the platform compensates the buyer for the return shipping fee in the form of coupons .


If the buyer changes the reason for the dispute to a non-seller reason, will it still be included in the dispute filing rate?
  • When the buyer changes the reason of the dispute to a non-seller's reason, the dispute filing rate will not be counted after the system is synchronized.

    If the dispute category modified by the buyer is "Personal Reasons", "Easy return" and "Shipping method was not as described", the dispute filing rate of the seller will not be counted.

      2. If the timeout is not set, the system will end the dispute in the form of a refund only, and the loss will be borne by the seller.

      The specific operations are as follows:

      1. When the dispute is reached, the system detects that the seller has not set the Chinese return address in time, and will notify you through the in-site letter and email that the Chinese return address has not been set, as shown in the following figure:

Suggestions and reminders for merchants to deal with after-sales disputes
  • Do you usually encounter many difficult situations when dealing with disputes in the store?

    After sorting out the problems in the after-sales processing of the merchants, and summarizing a wave of dry goods, you can spend 5 minutes browsing it, I believe it will be of great help to your after-sales processing in the future.

    Scenario 1: What I send to the buyer is the goods A. The buyer receives the goods and sees that it is B. The buyer has filed a dispute, and the logistics is the online logistics of Cainiao. Should I be responsible for such disputes?

    Analysis : In this case, it is generally because the logistics has posted the wrong face sheet , that is to say, you send it to the Cainiao warehouse, and the warehouse has posted another face sheet on your package, but the posted face sheet and the bottom sheet are different. match

    In this case, the buyer initiates a dispute, and the seller should remember to guide the buyer to tear the top sheet and compare it with the bottom sheet, and take a photo to keep it to prove that the two bottom sheets are inconsistent. Submit this evidence, and it is easy to determine the responsibility when the dispute is judged.

    Tear off the top sheet to reveal the proof picture of the bottom sheet

    Scenario 2: The buyer receives the goods, finds that the goods are damaged, and submits a dispute. The logistics is the online logistics of Cainiao. How to determine the responsibility for the damage is the logistics reason or the merchant's reason?

    Analysis : In this case, it is difficult to determine whether the dispute is caused by the damage caused by the logistics or the quality of the goods itself, or the delivery packaging of the merchant is not standard, so the proof is very important. The seller should guide the buyer to include the pictures of the outer packaging of the goods. Provided , through the pictures of the outer packaging can help determine whether it is the damage caused by logistics

    Scenario 3: The buyer initiates a dispute over a return and refund, the buyer initiates a return, but the seller has not received the return for a long time. What should I do?

    Analysis : After the buyer initiates the return, the system displays the countdown of the merchant's confirmation of receipt in the dispute details of the order. During the countdown, the merchant can upgrade the arbitration if the return is not received . When the arbitration is upgraded, the reason for the dispute is gray by default, and selection is not supported. The merchant only needs to fill in The reason for the rise in arbitration is sufficient.

    The seller has received the goods after the arbitration has been raised, and the merchant can choose to cancel the arbitration. If an error is reported in the cancellation of the arbitration, there is no need to worry. The merchant does not take the initiative to cancel the arbitration. , if it is properly voted, it will be refunded to the buyer normally.

    Scenario 4: What should merchants do when they encounter disputes?

    Analysis: This problem is very broad, each order has its own characteristics, and specific problems have to be analyzed in detail. However, some methods are universal. The first time a dispute occurs, it must be negotiated with the buyer. The platform will also give buyers and sellers a 5-day negotiation period. Only those who cannot negotiate will enter the arbitration process.

    What can be done during the consultation period?

    1. Verify the problems encountered by the buyer, and ask the buyer to provide pictures as much as possible, such as pictures of the outer packaging, physical pictures, etc., to restore the problems encountered by the buyers clearly

    2. Provide solutions to buyers, refund or return products; if some minor problems do not affect the use of goods, you can also try to send shop coupons to buyers, which can retain buyers and increase shop sales

    3. Merchants have always been concerned about their dispute filing rate. As long as a buyer initiates a dispute, it will be recorded in the dispute rate. It has nothing to do with the dispute judgment process and result. Therefore, the merchant can solve the buyer's problem during the negotiation period and let the buyer If the company cancels the dispute, the dispute rate will not be counted, and it is also a reflection of the merchant's after-sales solution ability.

    Scenario 5: Italian overseas buyer disputes judgment, return and refund Why prompt the merchant to fill in the logistics order number?

    If you have applied for the account of an Italian overseas seller, when the dispute is judged to be responsible for the return and refund, your merchant needs to provide the logistics number of the return, and the buyer will send the returned goods according to the logistics number you provide.

What if the buyer wants to return the goods after confirming receipt?
The buyer can file a dispute within 15 days after confirming the receipt of the goods. If the buyer requests a return at this time, it is recommended that you first negotiate with the buyer friendly, whether it is caused by the buyer's dissatisfaction with the goods. If the buyer must return the product, the buyer can file a dispute during the protection period, I hope you know.
What are the disputes about the wrong version of the goods?
  • Incorrect goods disputes refer to disputes initiated by buyers who choose "received goods" - "inconsistent description", "inconsistent quality", etc., and are calculated according to the last dispute reason in this assessment cycle. Reasons for Disputes".
