1. Reasons for the buyer to submit a dispute:
1) The goods have not been received;
2) The goods received are inconsistent with the agreement;
3) Buyer's own reasons.

II. Transaction negotiation between buyers and sellers
After the buyer files a return/refund application, he needs the seller's confirmation, and the seller can see all the dispute orders on the dispute list page. The quick filtering area shows the status of key disputes: "Dispute in Process", "Buyer has submitted a dispute, waiting for you to confirm", "Awaiting for you to confirm receipt". For disputes that the seller has not responded to, click the "Afcept" or "Refuse and Provide Solutions" buttons to enter the dispute details. The page is as follows:

Entering the dispute details page, the seller can see the time, reason, evidence and negotiation plan provided by the buyer when the buyer files the dispute. When the buyer files a dispute, please accept or reject the buyer's dispute within 5 days of the buyer's dispute. If there is no response within the time limit, the system will automatically execute according to the refund amount proposed by the buyer. It is recommended that you actively communicate with the buyer during the negotiation stage.

Buyers and sellers can delete their own proposals or evidence.

III. Platform Intervention and Consultation
After the buyer submits the dispute, the second child of the dispute will intervene within 7 days (including the 7th day). The platform will refer to the case situation and the certificate provided by the negotiation stage between the two parties to give the plan. Buyers and sellers can see the buyer, seller and platform's plans on the dispute details page. In the process of dispute handling, the cause, plan and evidence of the dispute can be modified independently at any time (before the end of the case, if the buyer and seller are not satisfied with the plan, evidence, etc. he has provided before, he can modify it at any time). If the buyer and seller accepts the plan given by the other party or the platform, he can click to accept the plan.

After the buyer returns the goods and fills in the return waybill number, the seller has a 30-day confirmation time to receive the goods. If you are not satisfied with the goods received, you can directly submit the order to the dispute platform. The dispute department will contact both parties to follow up. ( Note: After the buyer returns the goods, the seller needs to confirm the receipt or file a dispute within 30 days. If the buyer fails to operate within the time limit, the seller will receive the goods by default and perform the refund operation.)

If the buyer has returned the goods and filled in the return form number, he needs to wait for the seller to confirm (as shown in the figure below):

For orders shipped by worry-free logistics, after the buyer initiates a dispute over not receiving the goods, the seller does not need to respond, and the platform directly intervenes to verify the logistics status and determines the responsibility.

Dispute handling process and guidelines

IV. How to avoid and resolve disputes

Buyers file disputes for various reasons, which not only we want to solve disputes, but also have a great impact. In this regard, buyers may have doubts or even doubts about suppliers, products, AliExpress platforms, and the final result will make the repayment cycle of the order longer, and the potential result will make the sale The source of domestic customers will be lost, and the opportunity for secondary trading may be lost.

In the process of trading, we should try our best to avoid disputes. If disputes really occur, they can be solved smoothly and satisfy buyers. These will retain customers for us and have a word-of-mouth effect, winning more customers.


I. How to effectively avoid disputes


There are two main types of disputes raised by buyers, "wrong version" and "not received". Our response to these two categories is as follows:


the wrong version

1. The product description is true and comprehensive

When editing product information, it is important to describe the product comprehensively and carefully based on facts:

● For example, electronic products need to give a comprehensive description of the product functions and usage methods to avoid disputes caused by buyers who cannot use them reasonably after receiving the goods.

● For exampleit is recommended to provide size sheets for clothing and footwear products so that buyers can choose and avoid disputes over inappropriate sizes after receiving the goods.

● Buyers should not be deceived by rushing to conclude transactions. For example, USB flash drives that actually only sell 2G capacity deliberately describe the capacity size as 256G. Once such fraud is verified, AliExpress platform will seriously deal with it.

● The defects and defects of the product should not be concealed in the product description.

● It is recommended to indicate your shipping method, delivery area, and expected transportation time in the product description. At the same time, it is also recommended to explain to the buyer the customs clearance and payment, product return responsibility and bearer.

      Buyers are based on the description of the product. The more buyers know, the closer their expectations will be to the physical object. Therefore, a true and comprehensive description is the key to avoiding disputes.


2. Strictly control the quality

Before delivery, the product needs to be fully tested: whether the appearance of the product is intact, whether the function of the product is normal, whether the product is short-packed, whether the packaging when the product is mailed is compressive and fall-resistant and suitable for long-distance transportation, etc. If you find product quality problems, you should contact the manufacturer or upstream supplier in time to replace them to avoid returning or exchanging goods due to disputes. The transportation cost of returned goods in foreign trade transactions is extremely high.


3. Eliminate fake goods

AliExpress has always been committed to protecting third-party intellectual property rights and providing a safe place for members to trade. It is illegal to illegally use other people's intellectual property rights and violate AliExpress's policies.

       If the buyer files a dispute and complains that the seller "sells fake goods", and the seller is unable to provide the authorization certificate of the product, the AliExpress platform will directly rule that the seller is fully responsible, and the seller will also be punished by the relevant rules of the platform while suffering economic losses. Therefore, it is important not to sell products that involve third-party intellectual property rights and cannot provide proof of authorization on the AliExpress platform.


Goods not received

1. Logistics selection is very important

International logistics often has many uncertainties, such as customs issues, tariff issues, delivery and transshipment, etc. These complex situations are difficult to control throughout the transportation process, and it is inevitable that there will be delays in customs clearance of parcels, timeouts in delivery and even loss of parcels. For buyers, being unable to receive the goods for a long time or not being able to query logistics updates will directly lead to disputes.

At the same time, express delivery without tracking information is also not guaranteed for the seller's interests. When the buyer raises a dispute over "not received goods", and the inability to track the goods information, it is very unfavorable for the seller to prove. Therefore, we suggest that when you choose the express delivery method, you can combine the customs clearance capacity of different regions and different express companies and the transportation period of the package, and choose EMS, DHL, FEDEX, UPS, TNT, SF and other logistics information to update more accurately and have better transportation timeliness. These fast Compared with airline packages, the risk value will be much lower.

Considering the actual situation, if you need to find a freight forwarding company to help deliver the goods, please give priority to a formal freight forwarding company that can provide both delivery and return protection to ensure that your interests are not harmed to the greatest extent.

Generally speaking, when choosing the express delivery method, please be sure to weigh the risks and costs in the transaction, and choose a courier company that can provide real-time query of cargo tracking information as much as possible.


2. Effective communication

● If the package is delayed, please inform the buyer in time to explain the reason why the package could not be reached within the expected time, and obtain the buyer's understanding.

● If the package is withheld due to non-payment of customs duties, please inform the buyer in time and declare that you have indicated the buyer's tax payment obligation in the product description. You may as well propose to share some customs duties with the buyer at this time, which can not only avoid the return of the goods, but also allow the buyer to give you a high score in good faith.

● If the package is temporarily stored at the post office because no one signs for it, please remind the buyer to find the note left by the post office in time and pick it up within the validity period.

● Handle the buyer's inquiry about the item that has not been received in time, so that the buyer can experience your attentive service.

● In the process of trading, maintaining effective communication with buyers can not only make the transaction complete smoothly, but also win the buyer's second favor.


II. How to solve disputes arising


1. Compare your heart to heart

● Think from the perspective of the buyer and find a way to solve problems together, not just consider your own interests.

● "Don't do to others as you want to do it to yourself". No one is willing to bear losses for no reason. As sellers, we can try our best to let buyers reduce losses within a certain range of tolerance and win more opportunities for ourselves.


2. Effective communication

● Timely response: If the buyer is not satisfied, respond immediately and negotiate friendly with the buyer. If the goods are not received for a long time, the goods or other alternatives can be resent to the buyer within the scope of tolerance; if the buyer is dissatisfied with the quality of the goods or other things, negotiate friendly with the buyer and consider them in advance. Solution.

● Communication skills: Pay attention to the psychological changes of the buyer when communicating with the buyer. When the buyer is not satisfied, try to guide the buyer to move in the direction of retaining the order, and also meet some other needs of the buyer. When a refund occurs, try to guide the buyer to achieve a partial refund to avoid full refund and return. Strive to make "although the goods cannot satisfy the buyer, the attitude should also make the buyer impeccable".


3. Retain evidence

:: Valid information in the transaction process can be retained and used as evidence to help solve the problem if there is a dispute;

● During the transaction process, it can provide timely and sufficient evidence, provide relevant information to buyers for negotiation, or provide AliExpress to help adjudicate.


The dispute is not terrible. As long as the seller is fully prepared and everything is aimed at buyer satisfaction, there will definitely be good results.

Case sharing:
1. How to inquire about the return information of the original package
2. Dispute Case Sharing - Customs Detainment
3. Buyer returns goods after receiving them
4. Inaccurate delivery address
The definition of accurate matching is that the time, city, zip code, signer, etc. are consistent. If the logistics information cannot be displayed to accurately match the delivery, for example, Spain only shows the country, and the buyer has always said that the goods have not been received after the logistics is completed, and the seller needs to provide a delivery receipt to confirm whether the shipping address is consistent, so please keep the delivery receipt so that the platform can check whether the shipping address is correct.
