Dispute

Some guidance for constructively disputing an item

If the item you have received is not as described, the process varies whether:

• The seller is a private individual or a company
• The payment was made using the payment escrow service or PayPal

Purchases from business

If the purchase is from a company, you are able to return the item within a specified timeframe for a refund under the Consumer Rights Act and Consumer Contracts Regulations.

Consumer Rights Act

Consumer Contracts Regulations

Notify the seller that you are returning the items and supply them with tracking information.

You can also mark the transaction as disputed if you paid using the payment escrow service to prevent the funds being paid out automatically.

Purchases from individuals 

Private sellers have responsibilities under the Consumer Rights Act to accurately describe items for sale.

1. Contact the seller clearly explaining the issue
2. Mark the payment as disputed in United Baristas Marketplace, if you paid using the payment escrow service
3. Progress to resolve the issue
