The roundup identifies a September change: TikTok reviews FBT warehouse returns using inspection evidence and the buyer’s reason. Logistics issues fall to TikTok/FBT; product or listing issues may remain the seller’s responsibility, with review and appeal where available.

## Our read

For apparel stocked in FBT, review inspection decisions and charges. Keep intake photos and listing records to challenge an incorrect product-quality finding.
