In short

How do I keep track of open Taobao refund requests?

WebRun opens Taobao every morning, reads every open refund and after sales request against your orders, and notes the seller, status and days waiting. It posts the ageing list to Microsoft Teams and drafts a Gmail chase for the cases running out of time, so money owed back is not lost.

  • Every open refund case is visible with its age and amount
  • Cases nearing their limit get a drafted chase, ready to send
  • Money owed back stops expiring unnoticed in the order history

Questions, answered

Will it message sellers or escalate a dispute?

No. WebRun reads your open cases and reports them. Messaging a seller, escalating a dispute, or accepting a settlement stays with you, because those steps close options you may want to keep.

How is this different from tracking sourcing orders?

Order tracking follows shipments that are going well. This run covers what happens when an order goes wrong: refund requests and after sales cases that are open, ageing, and quietly heading for expiry.

Does it know when a case is about to expire?

It reports how many days each case has been open and puts the oldest first, so you can act inside your own window. WebRun never lets a case sit unseen, but it does not close one for you.

Put this on autopilot.
