3. Actions to Process After-Sales Orders
1) When a buyer initiates a request, if there is no objection to the buyer's request, you can choose to accept the buyer's proposal in Requested (for refund only request) or Return Processing (for return & refund requests) lists. The after sales order will then move to Accepted list.
-
If the platform provides an alternative solution, the negotiation can continue based on that.
-
If no alternative solution is provided, a dispute can be initiated.
3) Seller can initiate a dispute with Shopee. The after sales orders will then move to Judging list.
-
For refund only request, if you disagree with Shopee’s refund decision for a buyer’s request, you can raise a dispute within a specific time frame.
-
For return & refund cases, you can raise a dispute if you have objections regarding the return request or the returned package.
💡Note: Once a final decision is made, no further disputes can be initiated.
-
If seller wins, Shopee will close the case, and the order will move to Closed.
-
If buyer wins, the order will move to Accepted.
4. Return Status
You can check the return status of the package to ensure it is processed promptly.
-
To Return: For return & refund orders where the seller and buyer have agreed to return/refund, and the package is to be returned by the buyer.
-
Returning: The package is being returned to the seller's warehouse.
-
Returned: The package has been returned to the seller's warehouse.
-
Other: Refund-only orders, return/refund orders still under negotiation, or other special circumstances.
Part II: Stock-In Returned Items
After reaching an agreement with the buyer and receiving the returned item, you can proceed with stocking in returned SKUs to your receving warehouse. BigSeller will monitor the logistics tracking to help sellers promptly manage returned items upon arrival at the warehouse.
1. Go to Orders > After Sales Manage > Stock-In / Return page
Receiving warehouse for returns:

- Method 2: Batch Stock-in for Returns
- Method 3: Scan (tracking / order / package / return tracking number) on the parcel to stock in

1. Remove Order：After removing the order on the After-Sales Order or Stock-In / Return page, it will disappear from the list, and no further actions can be performed on the order. Please proceed with caution.
2. Print Labels: You can print merchant SKU labels. After receiving the returned package, attach the label to the SKU for stocking in.
3. Notes for After Sales: You can add notes on After Sales Order Page, which allows you to record important details about the after-sales order, making it easier to reference information when processing returns / refund.
