Shoppers want e-payment records as refund proof
    2017-March-15  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    NEARLY 80 percent of shoppers would like their e-payment records to be accepted as proof for refunds or exchanges, according to a newspaper survey.

    Paper receipts are usually regarded in China as the only evidence for refunds and exchanges. However, such receipts are easy to lose and consumers sometimes forget to ask for them.

    As mobile phone payments grow in popularity nationwide, it would be more convenient for consumers to use their e-payment records as proof.

    The survey, published by the China Youth Daily on Tuesday in advance of World Consumer Rights Day on March 15 said that among the 2,000 respondents, 70 percent of people said that they had lost receipts when they needed a refund or exchange, and only 16.2 percent regularly ask for a receipt.

    Liu Junhai, professor at the Renmin University of China, said that “there is no legal ground for receipts as the only evidence for refunds or exchanges.”

    Businesses should offer refunds or exchanges as long as people have proof they bought items there, Liu added.

    According to a report by the Internet Network Information Center, 469 million people used their phones to pay for things in China in 2016.

    In a Legal Daily report also on consumer rights, experts warned consumers about buying luxury goods through overseas purchasing agents.

    Zhang Chen, chief examiner of luxury goods with the China Resale Goods Trade Association, said that 60 percent of luxury items sent to the body for authentication and bought via an overseas purchasing agent were fake.(Xinhua)
