Common Dispute Types on ACBUY

ACBUY's Responsibility and Its Boundaries

ACBUY acts as a trusted mediator and platform, but our responsibility has logical boundaries designed to be fair to all parties.

ACBUY's Role:

Boundaries of Responsibility:

  • ACBUY cannot control a seller's inventory accuracy before an order is placed.
  • We are not directly responsible for carrier delays or losses once a package is in the hands of the logistics provider, though we will intervene on your behalf to resolve the issue.
  • We cannot force a seller to provide a resolution outside of the framework of our publicly listed policies, which all sellers agree to upon joining the platform.

Our goal is to create a balanced ecosystem where both buyers and sellers can transact with confidence, knowing that a clear and fair process is in place to protect their interests.

By transparently outlining our processes, sharing real examples, and clarifying expectations, we hope to build a deeper, more trusting relationship with every user. At ACBUY, your satisfaction and peace of mind are the cornerstones of our service.
