Summary
TikTok Shop now explicitly reserves right to unilaterally deduct funds from seller accounts to resolve negative balances after account deactivation, without requiring seller consent or prior settlement attempt.
Why it matters
Sellers lose control over disputed negative balance resolution post-deactivation. Funds can be seized without negotiation, appeal, or alternative payment arrangement options, creating uninsurable financial exposure.
Recommended action
Audit negative balance thresholds and enforcement workflow. Ensure payment methods stay valid and current. Document all negative balance disputes before account deactivation occurs. Review appeal rights timeline.
We may deduct funds from your account to resolve a negative balance after your account is deactivated.
