Introduction

In the fast-paced world of reverse purchasing (代购), efficient after-sales service is critical to maintaining customer trust and platform reputation. This paper explores how digital spreadsheets can integrate with major purchasing platforms’ after-sales policies to streamline issue resolution, track progress, and enhance user satisfaction.

Common After-Sales Challenges

  • Diverse policies across platforms (e.g., Taobao, Weidian, JD, Little Red Book)
  • Language barriers in cross-border scenarios
  • Time-sensitive refund/return windows
  • Tracking communication across multiple channels

The Spreadsheet Solution Framework

Core Spreadsheet Functions:

Column Function Example
Platform Policy Automatic policy summaries with dropdowns =VLOOKUP(Platform_Name, Policy_Database, 2, FALSE)
Timeline Tracker Color-coded deadline alerts Conditional formatting for <48h windows

Implementation Workflow:

  1. Centralized Case Logging:

    Input all after-sales requests with key metadata (order ID, issue type, contact method)

  2. Policy Mapping:

    Link to platform-specific flows (e.g., Taobao's 7-day no-reason returns vs. Pinduoduo's partial refunds)

  3. Automated Status Updates:

    Scripts to pull the latest tracking info via API where available

Platform Policy Adaptations

Taobao/Tmall

Leverage their AfterSalesWorker

TIP: Record seller response times for future reputation monitoring.

Weidian

Manual tracking required - set reminders for their 3-day mediation window post-dispute.

Performance Analytics

Embedded pivot tables can reveal:

  • Most common issue types (e.g., 42% sizing problems)
  • Average resolution time per platform
  • Customer satisfaction trends from feedback

Sample formula for SLA calculation: =AVERAGEIF(Resolution_Time_Range, "<72h")

By implementing this system, reverse purchasing agents have reported 30% faster case resolution and 22% improvement in customer satisfaction scores based on post-resolution surveys.
