Mr. Li saidI consulted four times about what caused the store to close directly, but the reply was more and more outrageous, I don't know if I can't say it, or I'm too lazy to say. AliExpress fined 10,000 yuan, I didn't bother to say it, if I wanted to know the reason, I had to follow the reply, go to court, for 10,000 yuan, I need to spend 10,000 lawyer fees in court first, so as to know the actual reason for the closure of the store at that time, AliExpress disposed of its own assets, and I didn't even have the right to know

The buyer initiates a dispute due to product quality problems, and we agree to return the goods for a refund, and are willing to bear the shipping costs. But the AliExpress platform ignored our request and refunded the buyer directly. For this problem of forcing sellers to choose to abandon goods, we actively seek to communicate with the AliExpress platform and ask the seller to return the goods, but they are all rejected by the AliExpress platform without reason.

AliExpress customer service said that it would help initiate an appeal, but there was no result. Therefore, in line with the principle of fairness and justice and equal commercial status, we require the AliExpress platform to return the goods involved in the dispute, or give us the corresponding amount of economic compensation. We would like to ask for a fair and equitable result.
