Revised Refund & Return Policy (PayPal Fully Compliant Version)
1. Scope of Application
This Refund & Return Policy applies exclusively to items purchased directly from Echo Shop online store. All return and refund requests must comply strictly with these terms and our website Terms of Service. This policy is permanently displayed on our website footer and checkout page; by placing an order, you confirm you have fully read, understood and agreed to all return and refund rules herein.
2. Return Eligibility & Time Limit
- You may submit a change-of-mind return request within 30 calendar days after receiving your parcel. We reserve the right to decline returns submitted after the 30-day window for personal preference reasons only. Per PayPal transaction rules, buyers may file disputes within 180 days of payment; we will still investigate and resolve orders with confirmed factory defects, wrong or missing items within this 180-day period.
- Custom-made personalized items, pre-order goods, intimate accessories, beauty supplies, disposable merchandise and digital gift cards are non-refundable and non-returnable for change of mind. Clearance, final sale and flash discount overstock items cannot be returned solely due to personal dislike, size mismatch or aesthetic dissatisfaction, but all manufacturing defects, shipping errors and missing goods remain covered under our defective item policy.
- All returned goods must be brand new, unused, unwashed and unaltered, with intact original packaging, tags, complete accessories and free gifts. Items with stains, scratches, artificial damage, missing parts or modified appearances will be rejected or subject to depreciation deductions during warehouse inspection.

COD (collect-on-delivery) parcels sent for personal preference returns will be refused directly by our warehouse. COD return shipments for confirmed defective items may be permitted only via prior written email agreement from our support team.
- Warehouse Inspection & Refund Processing: Once our warehouse receives, inspects and verifies the returned item meets our return standards, your refund will be processed to your original payment method within 7 business days.
4. Refund Terms
- Full Refund: If the item is unused, intact with complete original packaging, tags and accessories, the full product payment will be refunded to your original payment gateway.
- Partial Refund with Deductions: If the item shows signs of wear, artificial damage, missing tags, accessories or original packaging, depreciation, replacement or repair fees will be subtracted before the residual balance is refunded.

- For parcels lost or damaged during transit by the courier, you must file a loss claim directly with the shipping carrier. We will provide supporting order documents upon request but shall not be liable for courier loss or transit damage.
