For complex disputes that require human intervention, the professional arbitration team equipped on the platform can provide a solution on average within 1.2 hours, which is much faster than the industry average of 6 hours.
The refund policy covers 15 major categories of goods and services. Digital products support unconditional refunds within 24 hours, while physical goods come with a 180-day warranty.

Buyers need to provide definite evidence (such as screenshots, videos, etc.), while sellers must respond to disputes within 45 minutes; otherwise, the system will automatically favor the buyer.

Simple disputes are immediately adjudicated by the AI system, while complex cases are escalated to arbitration experts with over three years of experience. System records show that the average acceptance rate of arbitration results is 96.8%, and the rate of repeated disputes is only 0.7%.
