BUYER PROTECTION POLICY
Overview
This Policy applies to non delivery, damaged, not as
described items or empty boxes.
- Non
delivery. If we determine that the item was not delivered, we refund
the full cost of the item and original shipping. The seller must then reimburse
us for the amount. If the buyer refuses delivery, their claim is not eligible
for our Buyer Protection, unless the buyer can prove, via written evidence from
the carrier, that the package was refused because it arrived empty or was
damaged in shipping.
- Item
damaged or not as described, empty box.
If you receive an item that doesn't match the listing description, you
have to request a return from the seller. If the seller does not respond or
offer a solution (such as accepting a return, offering a replacement or refund),
then you can file a dispute with us. We will review the item description,
photos of the item received and any other relevant information. If the seller
accepts a return, the buyer must return the item in the same condition in which
it was received. After confirming that the item was returned to the seller, we
refund the full cost of the item and original shipping and the seller must
reimburse us for the full amount. In some cases, we do not require items
returned to the seller before we refund the buyer and may seek reimbursement
from the seller. For example if the seller chooses not to accept a return
request, the item location was misrepresented. In some cases, we can issue a
partial refund to cover differences between how the item was described in the
listing and the actual item the buyer received. In that case, the buyer will
not be asked to return the item but the seller must reimburse us for the
partial refund.
Exclusions
The following issues are not covered by this Policy:
- Buyer’s
mistake/remorse/change of mind: you bought a wrong item or subsequently decided
that you do not want it.
- Item
already refunded: you already received a refund from the seller or anyone else
for the item in full (including shipping). If you only received a partial refund,
we will consider whether this has fulfilled the seller’s obligations.
- Items
damaged during pick-up or shipping.
- Items
shipped to another address after original delivery.
- Duplicate
claims. If you had used other resolution process (e.g., PayPal Purchase
Protection, or requesting a chargeback from your payment provider), then you
can only use that method to resolve the problem with the item. You are not
eligible for our Buyer Protection.
- Fraud:
No refunds are issued if we believe the claim is fraudulent.
How to proceed
with the claim?
- Before
filing a dispute with us, the buyer must contact the seller within 30 days of
receipt or the latest estimated delivery date. The seller must respond in 3
business days. If the seller does not respond or offer a suitable solution, the
buyer can file a dispute with us within 30 days of contacting the seller. In some cases, we may extend the deadline to
file a dispute with us due to special circumstances (e.g., fraud, the buyer is
in a remote location, force majeure).
The buyer and the seller must:
- Cooperate
with us in good faith to help resolve the dispute.
- Answer
our questions, forward relevant correspondence, send photos, receipts and any
other evidence that will help establish the nature and condition of the item,
or whether it was delivered.
