Seller Policy Agreement

The sellers must disclose the shipping and handling conditions and rates available for the buyers under the description of the listing. This will give our buyers a good estimate of the overall charge of the item and how long it’s going to take to receive it. What to add to sellers' listings:

• Shipping fee
• Delivery time frame
• Tax and other government fees (if applicable)
• Items must be flagged as “standard” shipping or “big and bulky” (Big & Bulky applies to all products that DO NOT fit within the Australia Post package dimensions for standard domestic shipping which is >22kgs and >1.05m in any one dimension)

• MedCart will keep the Return Case open for 21 days. On the 21st day, if the buyer has not returned the item and did not communicate after opening the case, the Return Case will be closed in the seller’s favour. Unless the buyer communicates and provides a valid reason for the delay

In some cases, we’ll accept the returns on your behalf, but generally, you will be given 3 days to respond to an active case.

TIPS

Seller ratings allow us to measure your performance as a seller and ensure we provide a world-class experience to our buyers. This will help promote you as a seller, and thus, brings more opportunity for sale and market growth.

Here are MedCart ’s guidelines for Seller Rating:

• Maintain a 3.5 seller review rating out of 5, anything that’s below will be considered an under-performing seller
• Describe the item accurately to set the right expectations to the buyers viewing and buying your products
• Communicate well with the buyers to make them feel valued and heard
• Be competitive in your shipping and handling charges and do well in terms of delivery timeframe
• Refunds show purchase dissatisfaction. Consider improving your adverts
• Keep your inventory updated. When your buyer orders and find out later that it is out of stock, they can leave feedback and will negatively impact your seller rating Our ultimate goal is for the buyers to enjoy a smooth and carefree transaction. You won’t necessarily have perfect transactions, but how well you manage them will impact our buyers and sales.
