Ways we can help

Disputes resolution

Our disputes resolution team aims to resolve disputes between sellers and buyers as quickly as possible. When a seller is unable to resolve a dispute with a buyer, the team will work with both parties to try and help them reach a resolution. This may include applying our Buyer Protection policy where appropriate.
