Accepting and Countering Disputes

Accepting:

If you choose “Accept Dispute,” then the dispute will be closed and the buyer will be refunded. You will see the original transaction in the payment history section with the status: “Completed (disputed)” as well as a second transaction for the refund with status “Dispute Lost.”

 

Note: Each lost dispute will have a $20 dispute fee associated with it charged to your credit card on file.

 

 

Countering:

If you believe the dispute to be unwarranted, you can choose to “Counter Dispute.” This will then prompt you to provide further information and evidence against the dispute.

 

 

Once all fields are filled out, you will select “Submit Evidence” at the bottom of step 2, and the dispute will be placed in the “In Review” section.
