Policy for PlusBase's sellers
For PlusBase, Sellers do not have to contact Buyers directly. After the Sellers receive orders, PlusBase’s operation team will fulfill orders and support Buyers directly for all inquiries related to their orders.
The Buyer can update order information (product variant, address) or cancel the order within 6 hours of the order created time. If the Buyer's order updates alter the Seller's profit, PlusBase will calculate the pricing difference to collect from or refund to the Seller. The modification details will be automatically updated and displayed on the order details page.
For canceled orders, the reimbursements/non-reimbursements for the Sellers will be made in accordance with the Policy for PlusBase's Sellers and the order status.
If a Buyer files a claim for an order, Sellers or PlusBase shall be held responsible. Order profit will or will not be deducted/withdrawn from Seller’s Balance on a case-by-case basis.
Once an order has been fulfilled, PlusBase will directly contact the Buyer and partially or fully refund the Buyer without deducting the Seller’s order profit in the following cases:

In this case, the Seller's order profit will be deducted, and the Seller will be held responsible for refunding the full order value to the Buyer.
For AliExpress products, prior to receiving any updates from PlusBase regarding the product quotation, the Seller must ensure that the content of the product listed for sale on his PlusBase store fully matches the product content in the original AliExpress link.
Orders containing AliExpress products placed prior to receiving any product quotation updates from PlusBase, but which cannot be processed by PlusBase using the Seller's chosen AliExpress link (due to an increase in price, out-of-stock items, the supplier is unable to process the order, or the actual product provided by the AliExpress supplier does not match the Seller's product description on product listing pages). In this case, PlusBase will notify the Seller so that he can actively replace the AliExpress link with an alternative one, or choose to process the order using one of PlusBase’s suggested suppliers. Within 24 hours of receiving PlusBase’s notification, if the Seller does not respond, or an alternative link cannot be provided, or the product in the alternative link remains out of stock, PlusBase will choose the most effective solution to process the order (including replacing the order supplier with PlusBase's suggested supplier and collecting any arising costs from the Seller, or canceling the order and refunding the Buyer while deducting the Seller's order profit, etc.).
For additional assistance or information, the Seller can contact PlusBase via Live Chat or email.
PlusBase is firmly committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of the Seller and the confidentiality of the store's data. Under no circumstances does PlusBase have any influence over the Seller's website visits and purchases (for example, lowering the number of visits or the number of orders).
All visits, order creation counts, and purchases are made entirely on the Seller's website and are recorded in the Analytics dashboard of your PlusBase admin. All sales and profits are added to the Seller's payment account.
PlusBase shall bear all responsibility if the Seller discovers any suspicious activities made by PlusBase that may have an impact on the Seller's website visits and purchases.
PlusBase recommends that Sellers limit the number of request links they import for the same product, in order to avoid cost differences between orders caused by inconsistencies in product price information from different product request links. If the Seller imports and uses a new request link of a product for which PlusBase has previously provided the product quotation, the cost of orders generated by the new link will be recalculated to equal the product price in PlusBase's original quotation information. In the event of a cost difference, PlusBase will add or deduct the difference from the Seller's Balance.
The Buyer can update order information (product variant, address) or cancel the order within 6 hours of the order created time. If the Buyer's order updates alter the Seller's profit, PlusBase will calculate the pricing difference to collect from or refund to the Seller. The modification details will be automatically updated and displayed on the order details page.
