据《北京商报》4月2 2日消息， 拼多多、淘宝、抖音、快手、京东等多个电商平台将全面取 消"仅退款"，消费者收到货后的退款不退货申请，将由商家自主处理 。 这意味着，"仅退款"在2 0 2 1年时被拼多多率先推出，后在2 0 2 4年时被京东、淘宝、抖音、快 手 等 相 关 平 台 相 继 引 入 ， 历 时 四 年 正 式 迎 来 落 幕 。 记 者 还 获 悉 ， 上 述 电 商 平 台 已 就 全 面 取 消 " 仅 退 款 " 的 相 关 细 节 与 管 理 部 门 进 行 了 多 轮 商 讨 和 修 改 ， 一 旦 审 核 完 成 即 对 社 会 公 开 宣 布。 "之前遇到一个买家，我刚点击完发货后的2 0分钟，她就以拍错为由申请了仅退款。我收到申 请后马上联系快递公司，虽然商品没有揽收但是快递单号和运费险费用已经产生。"一名电商 卖家对2 1世纪经济报道记者表示了自己的不满，"她轻飘飘一句拍错了，我就要白搭快递费用 和运费险，为什么她不用承担任何责任？" 目前，电商行业也在逐步摆脱恶性竞争的泥淖。拼多多2 0 2 4年下半年开始，在商家售后服务 体系专项升级中，取消了商家的售后申诉限制，全面支持 ...

作者 信海光 京东与美团外卖市场之争持续升级，吸引众多消费者眼球。今天（4月22日）两家公司股价却都出现大幅下跌，算是资本市场对外卖之争的一种表态。 这与很多消费者、商家和骑手表现出的态度截然不同。对消费者而言，外卖市场竞争加剧可以提供更多"薅羊毛"的机会；对于商家和骑手来说，随"新东 家"入局带来的市场竞价可能会提升他们的收入水平。毕竟，京东喊出了"0佣金""五险一金配送员"和"百亿补贴"，若能实现，三方都是受益者。 而资本市场心存疑虑，是因为这场外卖大战似乎短期内很难看到赢家。在京东入局之前，外卖市场基本上算是美团一家独大，新玩家的进入带来竞争，有可 能会使市场份额重新划分。但问题在于，京东进入外卖市场所采取的策略，比如"0佣金""五险一金配送员"等，明显是在重塑之前外卖市场的成本结构。资 本会担心，即使京东成功获取了市场份额，它是否有能力赚到足够利润？这仍然是一个悬念，可平台为了争夺外卖市场的巨额投入却是实实在在的。 如果换一个视角呢？比如从全行业利益出发，会发现互联网企业之间能够燃起竞争热情总不是件坏事。这一波竞争升级除了重新划分市场份额之外，同时企 业的主动作为还反映了市场信心的触底回升，对资源配置 ...

关键时刻，拼多多伸出了援手。其推出的 "千亿扶持计划"宣布将对跨境商家赋能。平台不仅提供真金白银的补贴支持，更将通过系统化的解决方 案，全方位提升商家的抗风险能力和市场竞争力。 关税的阴霾远未散去，但平台的行动至少传递了一个信号：当风暴来袭时，没有人应该孤军奋战。 01 关税阴霾下，平台伸出了援手 4月2日，特朗普宣布"对全球约 60 个国家和地区征收对等关税"，以及"取消 800 美元以下小包免税政策"。这些政策调整，无疑给跨境商家的经营 带来了不小的变数。 最直接的便是成本的抬升，无论是关税的直接增加，还是物流、合规等隐性成本的上涨。但若商家试图将部分成本转嫁给消费者，又存在市场需求出 现波动的可能性。毕竟在真实销售数据出来以前，美国消费者对于价格上浮的接受程度尚不明确。 而在这场风暴中，相较于大卖家，中小跨境卖家的受到的影响更甚。因为他们既缺乏核心技术壁垒，又受限于有限的资金储备，在贸易形势的变化面 前，经营难度势必有所增加。 在关键时刻，拼多多向跨境商家们伸出了援手。拼多多推出的"千亿扶持计划"，承诺未来三年拟投入1000亿资源，持续打造用户、商家及平台多方 共赢的商业生态。该计划特别强调要加大对跨境 ...
