My order arrived – but there’s a problem

You can open a dispute if the item you receive is significantly different than how it was described. For example:

  1. You received a completely different item.

    Example: You purchased a tennis DVD, but received a tennis racket.

  2. The item's condition was misrepresented.

    Example: The listing said “new,” but the item was clearly used.

  3. The item is missing parts or features, and this was not disclosed.

    Example: You bought a table, and it showed up with only three legs.

  4. You purchased a specific quantity of an item, but received the wrong amount.

    Example: You bought two laptops, but received only one.

  5. The item was damaged en route to its destination.

    Example: Your antique vase was broken in transit.

  6. You received a counterfeit version of the item.

    Example: A "genuine" diamond bracelet ended up being cubic zirconia.

They don't cover buyer's remorse, however. So be sure you really want an item before completing the transaction.

How do I open a dispute with a seller when a purchase goes wrong?

You can open a dispute in the Resolution Centre of your PayPal account within 180 days of payment if:
•You don’t receive the item
•You receive an item but it’s significantly different than the description on eBay or on the seller’s website

By opening a dispute, you can communicate directly with your seller to work out a problem transaction.

If you reach an agreement with the seller you can close the dispute. If you're still not happy with the result, you can escalate the dispute into a claim. We'll review the claim and decide on reimbursement.

These steps apply to Personal accounts. If you have a Business account, please log in to see the steps that apply to you.

To open a dispute:
1.Log in to your PayPal account.
2.Near the bottom of the page, under 'More about your account', click Resolve a problem in our Resolution Centre.
3.Click Dispute a Transaction.
4.Select the button beside the transaction you want to dispute, then click Continue.
5.Select ‘Item dispute’, click Continue and follow the on-screen instructions.

Note:
•Generally buyers must wait at least 7 days from the date of payment to escalate a dispute for an item not received
•Where an item has not been received, please ensure you have given the seller enough time before opening a dispute

DO NOT CLOSE THE DISPUTE UNTIL YOU HAVE A CLEARED REFUND OR YOUR ITEM WHATEVER THE SELLER SAYS. ALSO DON'T FORGET TO ESCALATE THE DISPUTE TO A CLAIM WITHIN 20 DAYS IF THE SELLER DOES NOT REFUND.

If that does not work then if you funded your paypal payment via a card then contact your card issuer and see if they will do a chargeback for you.
