- 返品・返金リクエスト — 承認・拒否・部分返金
- クレーム対応 — 商品違い・破損・偽物疑い

バイヤー対応で使う英文テンプレートの全体像
Q. eBayバイヤー対応の英文はどう構成すべきですか? A. 「冒頭の感謝・共感 → 事実確認 → 提案する解決策 → 次のアクション → 締め」の5パートが基本構造です。
英語の商習慣では、冒頭に Thank you や I appreciate をまず置き、本題は中盤に配置します。日本語のように要点から入ると冷たく響くため、テンプレ全体でこの構造を統一します。
英文メッセージの5パート構造
| パート | 役割 | 代表フレーズ |
|---|---|---|
| 1. 冒頭 | 感謝・共感 | Thank you for reaching out / I appreciate your message |
| 2. 事実確認 | 状況の整理 | I have checked your order / According to the tracking |
| 3. 解決策提案 | 選択肢の提示 | I would like to offer / Here are the options |
| 4. 次のアクション | 期限と要請 | Please let me know by / Could you confirm |
| 5. 締め | 関係維持 | Thank you for your understanding / Best regards |
このフレームに沿うことで、テンプレ生成も翻訳チェックも体系化できます。

英文メッセージの共通フレーズ集|冒頭・締め・お詫び・感謝
Q. テンプレを使い回すときの注意点は? A. 毎回同じ書き出し・締めにならないよう、複数パターンを使い分けます。
同じバイヤーから複数回問い合わせがあった場合、テンプレ感が出るとマイナス印象になります。
冒頭フレーズの選択肢
| シーン | フレーズ |
|---|---|
| 通常の感謝 | Thank you for your message / Thank you for reaching out |
| 質問への感謝 | Thank you for your interest in [Item] / Thank you for the great question |
| お詫びから入る | I am very sorry for the inconvenience / I apologize for the delay |
| 共感から入る | I completely understand your concern / I can imagine how frustrating this must be |
締めフレーズの選択肢
| シーン | フレーズ |
|---|---|
| 通常の締め | Best regards / Kind regards / Sincerely |
| 感謝を込めた締め | Thank you for your understanding / I appreciate your patience |
| 次のアクションを促す締め | Looking forward to your reply / Please let me know how you would like to proceed |
お詫びフレーズの強度別
| 強度 | フレーズ |
|---|---|
| 軽い | Sorry for the inconvenience |
| 中程度 | I am very sorry / I apologize for [Issue] |
| 強い | I deeply apologize / I sincerely regret [Issue] |
| 最強 | I take full responsibility for this and would like to make it right |
クレーム対応では「強い」以上を選び、軽い案件で過剰なお詫びをしないことで、メッセージの重み付けが正しく伝わります。
まとめ|テンプレ整備で英語が苦手でもバイヤー対応は回せる

- 5パート構造 — 冒頭→事実確認→解決策→次のアクション→締め
