2. Tap the message or chat option
Look for a “Message” or chat icon on the product page or order details to open a conversation with the seller.
3. Ask your question clearly

4. Wait for a reply in your inbox
Seller responses appear in your TikTok messages. Most sellers reply within a day.
5. Escalate if needed
If a seller does not respond or an issue is unresolved, use TikTok Shop's support or a return/refund request.

If you sell, buyer messages are pure opportunity — a quick, helpful answer often closes the sale or saves a return. Check your Seller Center messages daily and reply promptly and politely. Slow or no replies cost you orders and ratings.
