Dispute Resolution Policy
A transparent, step-by-step guide on how JY Store facilitates fair outcomes for Buyers and Sellers when things go wrong.
Jump to Section ▾
1. Platform Role & Scope
JY Store acts as a marketplace facilitator. We provide the technology to connect independent Sellers with Buyers. When a dispute arises, our role is to review facts and enforce platform policies.
2. Dispute Handling Process
All disputes follow this structured 4-step workflow:
-
1Intake & Review
The Buyer submits a dispute via the Order Page. We check the order status, payment verification, and initial evidence provided.
-
2Seller Response
The Seller is notified and typically has 1–3 business days to respond, accept the refund, or provide counter-evidence.
-
3Negotiation
Buyer and Seller can discuss a resolution (e.g., partial refund for minor damage). If no agreement is reached, it escalates to JY Store.
-
4Platform Decision
We issue a final decision based on fairness and Malaysian consumer protection principles. Funds are released accordingly.
3. Special Rules by Dispute Type
Different issues require different proof. See the specific rules below:
- We rely heavily on Courier Tracking.
- If tracking shows "Delivered" with proof (photo/signature), the dispute may be rejected unless you have strong contrary evidence (e.g., CCTV).
- Wrong address input by Buyer is not covered.
- Unboxing Video is strongly recommended.
- Must show photos of the outer parcel + shipping label + the damage.
- For "Missing Items", we may compare parcel weight logs.
- Generally Non-Refundable once delivered.
- Refunds are only considered if the code is proven INVALID upon issuance (requires error screenshot).
- Buying the wrong region (User Error) is not grounds for a dispute.
- Disputes must be raised if the service was not performed or significantly differed from the agreement.
- We check booking records and communication logs.
5. Time Windows (Strict)
You must open a dispute within these timeframes. Late submissions may be declined.
6. Return Logistics & Refunds
If a return is approved, the Platform or Seller will provide instructions.
- Condition: Items must be returned in original condition (unless damaged on arrival).
- Deadline: Failure to ship the return within the stated timeframe will result in the dispute being closed and payment released to the Seller.
- Refund Method: Refunds are processed back to the original payment method. Timing depends on the bank/gateway.
