TikTok Shop Dispute Appeal Template for Sellers

Start from the 24-hour evidence window, then build the appeal map.

TikTok Shop's US aftersales dispute policy says sellers must provide evidence within 24 hours of receiving a dispute notification, and sellers may appeal within 21 calendar days after a decision. The record needs to be authentic, relevant, complete, and tied to the order.

Aftersales disputes Chargeback Policy

Delivery and handoff proof

For delayed, lost, or disputed delivery issues, organize shipping labels, receipts, tracking, delivery attempts, address correctness, and handoff proof.

Product condition proof

For inconsistent, damaged, quality, or counterfeit claims, preserve listing details, product photos, packing proof, invoices, supplier records, and test or certification records where relevant.

Return and refund context

Document the buyer request, seller response, return tracking, received return condition, refund status, replacement status, and any prior agreement.

Neutral response wording

Keep the response factual. Point to the attachment names and avoid legal threats, accusations, or unsupported buyer-intent claims.
