How the Protection Process Works

Open a return or dispute from your order history within 14 days of delivery. Include photo evidence and a clear description of the issue.

The seller has 48 hours to accept, reject, or propose a compromise. They'll review your evidence and respond with their decision.

If the seller doesn't respond or you disagree with their decision, The Makers team steps in to review the case and make a fair ruling.

Once approved, refunds are processed within 5-7 business days. Exchanges are coordinated directly with the seller.

We protect both buyers and sellers with fair policies.

14-day claim window: All claims must be filed within 14 days of delivery. No late claims accepted.
Photo evidence required: Valid claims must include clear photos showing the issue. This protects sellers from false claims.
Original condition required: Items must be unused and in original condition for returns. Sellers can reject claims if items show signs of use.
Dispute history tracking: Accounts with 3+ disputes in 60 days are flagged for manual review to prevent abuse.
48-hour seller response window: Sellers have 48 hours to respond before marketplace intervention. This keeps resolution moving quickly.
Fair mediation: The Makers team reviews all disputed cases impartially, considering evidence from both parties.
