2.1 As a Buyer

If you raise a dispute with us and subsequently file a chargeback with your card provider, we will close your report.

2.1.2 If you have received a refund/exchange from the seller, you may not report that transaction.

2.1.3 If the 'item is not delivered' we will ask the seller to provide proof of shipping and delivery that can be tracked online. If the seller fails to do so, we will resolve the dispute in your favour.

2.1.4 If the 'item is significantly not as described', and both parties cannot agree as to the difference between the item/service that was sold and what was described, we will make a fair decision based on all the information we hold about the item.
