Hi, i have seen that equal questions have been asked before, but no answers were provided.
I have opened a dispute on 30 December (which is 7 days ago). It said i would be able to escalate it from today at an earlier time.
I just wanted to do that but the escalate option is not at the bottom of the page where it usually would be.
All i see at the bottom of the page is:
Close this case
Change case type
This case will be auto-closed if it isn't resolved by 20 January 2023 at 10:50:03 GMT
What should i do? Ps. the seller did not answer at all, item was not shipped.
Thanks

Wait till the escalate option shows, normally its the 'time' of day 7 days ago that you opened the dispute.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
