What is an order dispute?

A dispute is a formal case opened by a buyer when they report a major issue.
It must be treated more seriously than standard support communication.
It is used to:
  • review the complaint
  • collect evidence from both sides
  • allow seller response
  • reach a fair decision

What happens when a dispute is opened?

1

Dispute case is created

Buyer submits reason and explanation
2

Order is locked

Prevents changes during review
3

You are notified

Review and respond required
4

Response deadline begins

Action required before expiry

Why response speed matters

If you do not respond in time:
  • case may proceed without partner input
  • automatic escalation may occur
  • outcome influence is reduced
Fast responses improve outcomes.
Not Responding to disputes may lead to unnecessary refunds. Make sure to reply to each dispute.
