PLAN THE SERVICE HANDOVERS
Plan for eligibility decisions and approved preparation.
| Service stage | What can affect progress | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Stock review | Missing ownership or product records | Authorized owner and proposed market |
| Condition assessment | Faults, missing accessories and grading questions | Agreed criteria and evidence |
| Resale decision | Safety, brand or market restrictions | Responsible seller's written approval |
| Preparation | Approved cleaning, packing and accessory work | Work scope and final condition record |
| Outbound release | Storage period and receiver instructions | Authorized dispatch and stock list |
Resale support does not guarantee eligibility, demand, price or sale completion. Unsafe or restricted products need an appropriate separate decision and must not be released by default.

Owner Authorization
Identify who owns the stock and who can approve resale preparation, work costs and release.
Condition & Accessories
Provide product references, fault history, photos and accessory lists. Agree the grading criteria.
Market & Disclosures

Work & Handover

CARGO PREPARATION & RECORDS
Keep the condition record with the prepared stock.
Protect the link between each product reference, its grade, accessories and approved work. Packing should preserve the item and reflect the actual condition. Hold unapproved or unresolved goods for the owner's decision rather than mixing them with stock cleared for release.

Your returned goods resale questions, answered.
Start with the actual goods, service scope and responsible parties.
Does returns preparation include a guaranteed resale?
No. Preparation is an agreed handling scope. Buyer demand, pricing and sale completion remain commercial matters for the selling party. Confirm any separate selling service in writing rather than assuming it is included.
Who decides whether a returned product is eligible for resale?
The owner or responsible seller must confirm ownership, product safety, brand and market requirements, and the intended sales channel. A warehouse grade or logistics handover does not establish legal or commercial eligibility.
What can returned goods resale preparation include?
The agreed scope may include condition records, grading to the owner's criteria, accessory matching, approved cleaning and protective packing. Repairs, replacement parts and special labels need their own approval and cost review.
Can used or refurbished goods be described as new?
Condition information should accurately describe the item and any relevant defects, prior use or missing accessories. The selling party must approve the disclosures and meet the requirements of the market and sales channel. Do not use preparation to conceal product condition.
