Cancellations
With the exception of bids being cancelled with the permission or decision of the seller, bids or orders for items are unable to be cancelled once they are placed.
In extraordinary cases with compelling cause that meet our screening standards, and where the seller assents, cancellations after bidding or an order being placed with the seller may be accepted, subject to the charges detailed below.

(2) In the case that a seller ceases business with our company as a consequence of a cancellation, the member will bear the cost of lost profits as calculated based on past performance.

Returns, exchanges and claims (including damaged, defective, or incomplete items)
Any claims or other requests for returns or exchanges will only be accepted within 7 days of the product being delivered to our warehouse.
In the case that our company judges the reason for requesting a return or exchange to not be the fault of our company or the purchasing member, we will negotiate with the seller for an exchange or return.
However, if it is indicated on the product page, seller introduction page, terms and conditions of sale, or any other page managed by the seller that all sales are final, or that the seller does not accept returns or exchanges, we do not have an obligation to negotiate for a return or exchange.
There may also be cases where a seller will refuse an exchange or return of an item due to a difference of opinion. Requests for a renegotiation following an unsuccessful negotiation attempt will not be accepted.
Members are to confirm the existence of conditions regarding returns and exchanges on all relevant pages before purchasing an item.
Members agree not to directly request a chargeback or refund through a credit card company or payment agency after the arrival of an item due to reasons outside of our company or the seller's control.
