Elexbig is designed to give customers a seamless, trustworthy shopping experience while providing you with the tools and support needed to run your store effectively. To achieve this, responsibilities are clearly divided between what Elexbig manages and what you handle as a vendor.


What Elexbig Handles


Elexbig's role is to provide a secure, reliable, and supportive environment for all transactions. We take care of:


Customer Communications

We manage all customer enquiries about orders, payments, account access, and platform use. You don't need to contact customers directly; we handle that for you.


Dispute Mediation

If a disagreement arises between you and a customer, Elexbig steps in as a neutral mediator. We review evidence from both sides and issue a fair resolution.


Platform Operations

From secure payment gateways to site performance and maintenance, we ensure the marketplace runs smoothly 24/7.


Customer Protection Policies

We maintain clear rules and policies that build trust, ensuring buyers feel safe when purchasing from independent brands on Elexbig.


šŸ’” How Communication Works
All customer communication flows through Elexbig's support team. Your role is to provide evidence, order details, or confirmations when we request them. This protects both you and the customer by ensuring consistent, documented communication.
What You Handle as a Vendor


As a vendor, you're responsible for all aspects directly related to your products and fulfilment:


Product Listings

Create accurate, complete listings with correct details, pricing, dimensions, materials, and high-quality images that showcase your products.


Stock Management

Keep your inventory updated in real-time to avoid overselling. Mark items as unavailable when out of stock, and update quantities after receiving new stock.


Order Fulfilment & Shipping

Package items securely, dispatch orders on time, and ensure delivery within your promised timeframes. Upload tracking information promptly when available.


Compliance & Quality

Follow Elexbig's listing rules, restricted categories policy, vendor guidelines, and maintain the quality standards.

Best Practices for Smooth Operations


To prevent issues and maintain excellent performance:

  1. Review your listings regularly, Check for outdated information, pricing errors, or unclear descriptions
  2. Set realistic dispatch times, Only promise what you can consistently deliver
  3. Update stock immediately, When you sell through other channels or use inventory for samples
  4. Respond promptly to Elexbig requests, When we need information for a customer enquiry, quick responses help resolve issues faster
  5. Monitor your performance metrics, Track your dispatch times, stock accuracy, and customer feedback to spot areas for improvement

✨ Success Strategy
Regularly audit your fulfilment process to identify weak points before they become problems. Common areas to check: unclear product descriptions, inconsistent dispatch times, inadequate packaging, or inventory tracking gaps. Fixing these early prevents disputes and increases positive reviews.
Frequently Asked Questions


Do vendors communicate directly with customers?

No. Elexbig manages all customer communication to ensure consistency and protect both parties. You'll only provide information or evidence when we request it for a specific enquiry or dispute.


What happens if I can't resolve a fulfilment issue on my end?

Notify Elexbig immediately through your vendor dashboard. We'll handle communication with the customer and work with you to find the best resolution. The sooner you alert us, the better we can manage the situation.


Who covers the cost of returns?

This depends on the situation. In vendor-fault cases (such as defective items, wrong items sent, or significant discrepancies from the listing), vendors cover return costs. In customer change-of-mind cases, customers may be responsible according to our returns policy.


Can Elexbig remove a negative review?

We only remove reviews that violate our review guidelines (such as abusive language, personal information, or spam). Otherwise, reviews remain visible as they help maintain marketplace transparency. The best approach is maintaining excellent fulfilment standards to encourage positive feedback.


What if I run out of stock after an order is placed?

You must keep listings accurate at all times. If stock unexpectedly sells out after an order is placed, contact Elexbig immediately. We'll communicate with the customer to arrange a refund or alternative, but repeated stock management issues may impact your account standing and sales privileges.


Can I include my business card or promotional materials in packages?

You should not include direct contact information or materials that encourage customers to purchase outside the Elexbig platform. However, you may include branded packaging and thank-you notes that reinforce your brand identity without contact details.


Need More Information?
