Q&A Round 3
What are the differences between E-commerce in China and E-commerce in the U.S?
E-commerce as a whole works the same in every country, however, one thing that really amazes me about China is ...
As a whole总体来说
They are always available to answer my questions.
Available: 总在线,总能找得到
这种看似不难的小词,有时候就是构成卡顿的元凶,多加注意!!
Return the goods 退货
Get refund 退款
Make special arrangements for me 做特殊安排,提供特殊服务
They are always willing to help me no matter what. 无论怎样总很愿意帮忙。

Some sellers are holding monopoly. 垄断,注意搭配
Be willing to accommodate 迁就,顺从
