It's announced that the refund-only strategy will be optimized

Yesterday (26 july) the treasure hunt announced that it would optimize the "refund-only" strategy, boosting after-sale autonomy of vendors based on a new version of the experience, and curtailing or eliminating post-sale interventions in high-quality shops. The strategy will be implemented on 9 august。

It has been learned that when the new strategy comes online, vendors with a complex experience of 4. 8 cents of the shop are encouraged to consult with consumers instead of actively intervening to support only refunds after receipt。

For other segments, the platform will grant different degrees of autonomous disposal, depending on the nature of the experience and industry. The higher the experience, the greater the commercial disposition。

It is understood that while this break-up of "refunds only" gives more autonomy to businesses, it will also provide many after-sale service options that will guide businesses to continuously optimize post-sale services and reduce disputes and financial losses caused by "refunds only"。

In addition, treasure hunting optimizes only the return of claims. After the vendor initiates the complaint, the platform invites a third-party testing agency to perform a test on the commodity and, if the test is passed, the platform will pay the seller for the loss。

Before, there was a saying in the industry: "there's more and more like it. " today, treasure hunters give businesses more autonomy over only refunds, so that they do not want to be distracted。
