Return and Refund

Buyers who are not satisfied with a product may request a return and refund. You can accept, reject, or propose alternative solutions such as exchange or send missing items to resolve the issue.

Reshipment

If a buyer does not receive all the items they ordered or receives a broken or unusable item, they can submit a reshipment request. The seller can then review the request and send the missing items or a replacement.
