Your claim rate is too high<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is possible that your first sales on our platform have been subject to several claims or cancellations. This may also stem from an issue related to counterfeit products that have been detected.<\/p>\n<p>At Rakuten, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We ensure that our buyers have access to service that meets their expectations.<br \/>\nThis is why your e-wallet is subject to temporary suspension in the event that your sales claim rate is abnormally high.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to know more about the various reasons for a blocked payment, request a callback from an E-Commerce Consultant by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/global.fr.shopping.rakuten.com\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.
