How to Extend the Payment Period in Taobao?

Taobao system will automatically confirm the reception of goods after a certain period of time depending on the product category. The payment will be released to the seller. If the confirmation deadline is approaching but you have not received your goods, you may extend the deadline when there are only 3 days left.

1. The procedure is as illustrated below:

Go to “My Taobao” – “Purchased Items”, find your order and click to view the details(订单详情).

Choose “Delay time of receipt(延迟收货时间).”

 Note:

  1. For secured trading of physical items (such as physical tickets), with the condition that the seller has already dispatched the goods, the buyer may extend the delivery confirmation deadline when there are only 3 days left.
  2. For secured trading of physical items, you may request to extend the delivery confirmation deadline only once, and for an extension of 3 days.
  3. For virtual trading (excluding auto delivery and reloads), with the condition that the seller has already sent out the goods, the buyer may extend the delivery confirmation deadline when there are only 1 day left.
  4. For virtual trading, you may request to extend the delivery confirmation deadline only once, and for an extension of 1 day.

2. Can i still request a refund after payment has been released to the taobao seller?

yes,you can still claim a refund by click “申请售后” or open a dispute by clicking”投诉卖家”

  1. I have send item and buyer confirm me on WeChat he received and checking
    But not acknowledge in taobao that he received. For that payment yet not released.
    What can I do ?

  2. I ordered something that needs a deposit and the deposit was taken. It says I need to confirm the receipt but I forgot my alipay payment password. If I let time run out will I be okay? I have let time run out for my previous items but they did not require a deposit like this item and everything was fine from the same seller.

  3. Hi Eric,

    1. I found some answers on the Internet, the confirmation time is related to the shipping method seller chooses.

      If the shipping method is EMS, the automatic order confirmation time is 15 days; if the shipping method is express, the automatic order confirmation time is 10 days; if the shipping method is surface mail, the automatic order confirmation time is 30 days.

  5. I brought 8 items and 4 has already been confirmed , but I still haven’t got anything. I still have a few days left for the other 4 items. I don’t know if I should keep waiting cuz I think everything should arrive under 1 parcel or I should open a dispute. How many days can I open a dispute after its confirmation.

  6. Hi Eric. I already combine item and pay the shipping for my item at warehouse. I already put my address for shipping. But when I want to pay with credit card my connection have a problem. So I just cancel it and try to pay tomorrow.

Hey Eric, ive had some items in the warehouse for around 10 or so days now and the button I would usually hit to pay the second shipping fee to ship my items from the warehouse to America has been replaced by a button that reads “evaluation”. Did i lose these items or is there still a way to pay for the second shipping in the warehouse. Thank you
