Pretty much what the title says, I want to know how long a buyer can be able to open a dispute if they never get an item, NO, I am not a scammer. I just sell a lot of things online and I get scammed frequently and I found someone I trust and its been about 20 days and he hasn't opened a dispute yet... 🙂 So I really just want to know how long can someone wait to open a dispute if you don't ship an item??? Thanks!
Lithium5- We would never think you were a scammer; that's a perfectly legitimate question!
A buyer only has 45 days from the purchase date to file a dispute with PayPal. Outside of PayPal though, if they choose to dispute with their funding source, they can actually file for up to around 180 days.
