Definition
退货 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning "to return purchased merchandise." The verb 退 can be separated from 货 by inserting elements like aspect markers (了, 过), measure words, or time expressions — for example, 退了一次货 (returned merchandise once) or 退不了货 (cannot return the item). When using 退货, you don't put an object after it; the thing being returned is implied by context.
