A. Takedown reasons

Buyers reported the store as scam, non-shipping business or frauds

If the buyers suspected a store as scam, frauds or non-shipping business, they might contact ShopBase team with the order confirmation email to report.

We understand that each type of products needs a different delivery time. However, if the sellers can not provide a tracking number or any documents related to the shipping process, it can be suspected as fraud and we will consider blocking them.

After receiving the report, within 24 - 48 hours, if our Moderation team fails to reach out to the sellers or the store can not provide any plan of action for those orders, we will block the seller account and shut down all their stores.

Infringements on Intellectual Property/DMCA

ShopBase supports the protection of Intellectual Property and DMCA and asks our users to do the same. If any side contacts us via this form to report an infringement, we will work with the Reporter to verify their Proofs (Trademark/ Copyright License). In the end, if the store was accused as Infringing on Intellectual Property, we will take down the violated content.

We will remove the infringing content (including, without limitation, text, graphics, and photos) (collectively, "Content") as soon as a violation is detected. Notifications about the content's removal will be sent to your email address. If a store is selling several violated products or promoting violated content, we will consider taking the whole store down and notify the sellers.
