e-commerce platforms initially responded to consumer demand through a "refund only" policy, but over time, this policy has evolved and become more complex. it not only affects merchants and consumers, but also touches on the fundamental issues of the entire market order.
there are many logical myths hidden behind "refund only". economists say that "trust" is an important foundation for economic development, and the lack of "trust" will directly lead to chaos in the market order. game theory tells us that in a competitive environment, any party may take measures to undermine fairness in order to gain benefits. the dynamics of unequal power further exacerbate this dilemma. it is difficult for merchants and consumers to find a balance, and the platform is in trouble.
for example, a t-shirt "refund only" caused huge controversy. the buyer chose a refund, but the merchant had to travel on a 9-hour train and eventually had to bear the cost and pay 800 yuan in rights protection fees. this is not a single case, but a questioning of the security and fairness of the entire e-commerce platform.
this is not just the negative impact of "refund only". what needs more attention is the potential risks it brings. for example, merchants will tend to take shortcuts or even violate regulations to gain profits, which will eventually lead to chaos in the market order.
however, light also means hope.
platform supervision is crucial to solving the "refund only" phenomenon. a more complete regulatory mechanism needs to be established to encourage platforms to find a reasonable balance between fairness and potential business risks and take positive measures to maintain trust in the platform. at the same time, other countries are also exploring ways to solve similar problems, such as introducing dispute resolution systems or quality control measures.
ultimately, we hope that the "refund only" policy can become a historical crystallization, rather than simply providing a "safe zone" for the return and exchange of goods. only by establishing real trust can e-commerce platforms truly achieve the grand goals of economic development and social progress.
