At GearTrader.net, we strive to ensure that every transaction goes smoothly. However, if you encounter an issue with a purchase, here’s a guide to resolving it quickly and effectively.
Item Not as Described: The item received is significantly different from the listing (e.g., wrong model, missing parts, or incorrect condition).
Item Not Received: The tracking information does not update, or the package is marked as delivered but not received.
Damaged Items: The item arrives with damage not disclosed in the listing.
Go to your Order History in your GearTrader account.
Select the order in question.
Use the Message Seller feature to:
Describe the issue in detail.
Attach supporting evidence, such as photos of the item or screenshots of the tracking information.
Most issues can be resolved directly between the buyer and seller through communication.
Buyers have 14 days from the delivery date to request a return or refund.
Verify if the seller offers additional return options in their listing description.
If the seller is unresponsive or unable to resolve the issue, you can escalate by opening a dispute through GearTrader.
Navigate to the order in your Order History.
Click Open a Dispute.
Provide the following details:
A clear explanation of the issue.
Supporting evidence (photos, correspondence, etc.).
Preferred resolution (e.g., refund, replacement, or repair).
Submit the dispute to GearTrader support.
GearTrader support will review the dispute and mediate between you and the seller.
You may receive requests for additional evidence or clarification.
Resolution typically occurs within 5-7 business days.
If a refund is agreed upon:
The platform holds the refund until the buyer returns the item (if required).
The refund is processed back to the buyer’s original payment method.
Sellers may offer to repair or replace the item, depending on the circumstances.
Confirm timelines and shipping arrangements with the seller.
If the item is not as described but acceptable, buyers and sellers can agree on a partial refund.
In rare cases where disputes cannot be resolved amicably, GearTrader support will provide a final decision based on the evidence provided by both parties.
The seller is unresponsive for more than 3 business days.
The proposed resolution is unsatisfactory.
Use the Support Center link from your account dashboard.
Provide your order details and a summary of the dispute history.
Read Listings Carefully: Ensure you understand the item’s condition, included parts, and shipping terms.
Ask Questions Before Buying: Use the Message Seller feature to clarify any doubts.
Inspect Packages Immediately: Report any issues to the seller promptly upon receiving the item.
