[Singapore] What happens when a return request is raised?

When a return request is raised, Carousell holds the payment and steps in as a third party to mediate the dispute. Our support team will reach out to both Buyers and Sellers within 24 hours via email to advise on the next steps.

Depending on the initial evidence submitted, Carousell may reach out to either parties for more information* in order to investigate and come to a resolution.

*To facilitate the dispute resolution process, Carousell may require buyers/sellers to provide supporting documents via email within a stipulated time period. Failure to do so would result in the dispute being ruled against the non-compliant party. Buyers/sellers are advised to check their emails at least once a day during the period of dispute and to respond by the stipulated deadline.

Carousell strives to come to a resolution decision within 5 working days from when the dispute was raised. However, if the return of a product is needed, the entire resolution process may take more than 5 working days.

For sellers, you will be updated through Chat if your buyer raises a return and you can also check the Return request from My Sales > Returned tab.
