There are specific situations where we will automatically cancel an order and refund your customer. We do this to preserve a positive shopping experience for our customers while also helping you meet your customer service standards. These situations are as follows:

• If you do not process your customer's cancellation request within 48 hours
• For standard orders, if you do not update your customer's order's status to "To Ship - Awaiting Collection" or hand over your orders to Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) within the auto-cancellation timelines.
  • OR, the order's status has remained at "To Ship - Awaiting Collection" for a period exceeding the auto-cancellation timelines.
• For pre-orders, if the order was not shipped by the Expected Shipped Date (calculated by adding 2 calendar days to the number of days chosen by the seller to ship the order).
• The order's status has remained at "To Ship - Awaiting Collection" for a period exceeding the Service Level Agreement (SLA) period.
• For Ship By Seller orders, if orders are not delivered within 15 calendar days.
• Your customer does not pay for the order.
• The logistic service provider (LSP) reported the order as lost or damaged while enroute to your customer.
• We detect illegal, fraudulent or suspicious activity, or determine that fulfilling the order would violate local law.
• We believe that cancellation is necessary to protect your customer's experience.
