Taobao's new "refund-only" strategy has been online for two months, with an average of more than 400,000 unreasonable refund-only refunds intercepted per day

On October 10, Taobao Tmall officially announced the relevant governance results of "intercepting unreasonable refunds". Previously, on August 9, Taobao officially launched the "refund only" optimization strategy for all merchants. According to the data, two months after the launch of the new strategy, Taobao intercepted more than 400,000 unreasonable "refund-only" transactions per day, and the unreasonable "refund-only" phenomenon has been rectified on the Taobao platform.

At the end of 2023, Taobao will implement new dispute resolution rules to judge product quality issues based on big data, giving buyers the opportunity to get a refund without having to prove that there is a problem with the product, and do not have to return the product. This change was interpreted as Ali learning from Pinduoduo's refund-only policy. "Refund only" refers to the policy that consumers can apply for a full refund without returning goods or services if they are not satisfied with the goods or services within a specified period of time after purchasing the goods or services. This has also led to the frequent occurrence of the phenomenon of "wool picking", increasing dissatisfaction among merchants, and intensifying conflicts with consumers.

Starting from August 9 this year, for merchants with a comprehensive experience score of 4.8 or greater, Taotian will no longer actively intervene to support consumers to refund only after receiving the goods, and will be adjusted to negotiate with consumers first. (Source: IT House)
