2.2. Payment Responsibility: ThriftBig is responsible for securely accepting payments from customers and transferring those funds—including the cost of purchased items, finder’s fees, and other applicable fees—to personal shoppers for the items listed on their page on ThriftBig.
2.3. Payment Guarantee: ThriftBig guarantees that all payments made by customers on ThriftBig will be processed securely and transferred to the respective shopper after the purchase is completed.

- Shipping of items to customers.
- Mistakes with orders.
- Shipment delays or non-delivery.
- Issues with the quality of items.
2.5. Independent Interaction: Customers independently choose, follow, interact with, and trust personal shoppers on third-party platforms (such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, etc.). The decision to engage, watch, and transact with a shopper is entirely at the customer’s discretion. ThriftBig does not recommend or endorse any specific shopper or content creator.
2.6. No Liability for Shipping or Purchase Issues: Even if the purchase and payment are completed on ThriftBig, we are not liable for any issues related to shipping, delivery, or product quality. The fact that we facilitate payments does not imply responsibility for these actions. Customers transact with the shopper at their own risk. ThriftBig is not liable for delays, non-delivery, or the quality of items shipped or received.
2.7. Guarantees: ThriftBig guarantees and provides purchase protection only when fulfillment (packing and shipping) is handled by ThriftBig, and shoppers are paid only after items are received at our fulfillment center and shipped to customers by the ThriftBig team.
3. Finder’s Fees and Convenience Fee
3.1. Finder’s Fees: Finder’s fees are set by the shopper at their discretion and are displayed at checkout. ThriftBig may set default finder’s fees for all items listed.
3.2. Convenience Fee: ThriftBig charges a convenience fee, retained by the platform to cover operational costs.
4. Shipping
4.1. Shipping fees shown at checkout are estimates based on dimensions and weight provided at the time of listing. ThriftBig reserves the right to adjust shipping fees if significant differences arise between estimated and actual costs.
4.2. For items fulfilled by ThriftBig, we provide 100% purchase protection, ensuring safe and secure handling of transactions and shipments.

5.1. All purchases on ThriftBig are final and non-refundable due to the nature of live shopping.
5.2. Customers should confirm product quality and details with the shopper during the live session.

6.2. If inaccuracies or discrepancies are identified, shoppers must correct them manually in the listing app, and customers should confirm details with the shopper during the live session before completing the purchase.
6.3. Discrepancies or inaccuracies in product information, such as descriptions or details, cannot serve as grounds for returns, refunds, or complaints. The item image is considered binding, and shoppers must ensure the item they ship matches the image shown on the customer’s order.
