Continuing the lowest price on the whole network, Pinduoduo's "buy expensive must pay" is upgraded to "buy expensive double compensation"

Ebang Power exclusively learned that Pinduoduo's previous "Buy Expensive Must Compensation" service will be upgraded to "Buy Expensive Double Compensation" service, and the new rules will take effect on October 16, that is, two days after the platform's Double 11 officially opens. This means that after the merchant participates in the activities applicable to the "buy expensive double compensation" service (such as the "10 billion subsidy"), when there is a "high price" of the same paragraph, the previous compensation for the consumer price difference will be changed to the compensation for the double difference.

At the same time, the platform has further relaxed the time limit for consumers to apply for compensation. Previously, after purchasing a product marked with the "Buy Expensive Must Compensation" service logo, if consumers found that the sum of the amount actually paid for their order and the amount of the platform coupon used for the order was higher than the price of the same product on a specific platform, they could provide the voucher to apply for a refund of the difference before 23:59:59 on the day of order payment. Now, according to the rules of the platform, consumers can provide proof within 48 hours after the successful payment of their order to apply for a double refund of the difference. However, it is worth noting that the maximum compensation amount for merchant orders is not higher than the amount payable by the consumer.
