How to use these templates
Each guide page has 5â6 situation-specific response templates. To use one:
- Find the guide for the situation you are facing.
- Read the brief description at the start of each template to confirm it fits your case.
- Replace
[placeholder]text with your actual order details, store policy, and marketplace rules. - Remove any sentence that promises a result you cannot control, such as a guaranteed refund amount or delivery date.
- Send via your platform's messaging system or email, keeping sensitive order data in the right channel.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Promising a refund or replacement before checking the order record and policy.
- Sharing order numbers, photos, or payment details in public messages.
- Using a template without adapting policy-specific steps and timelines.
- Treating a writing template as legal, tax, or marketplace-compliance advice.
- Responding to negative reviews defensively or without a private follow-up path.
