How long do disputes take?

Estimated initial response: 24 hours. Investigation and review may take longer, and staff — not bots — decide.

Estimated initial response: 24 hours. Investigation and review may take longer.

A member of staff reads both sides and decides. When they need something from you, they ask in the dispute and give a clear deadline for that case. After it passes they may decide from the evidence they have; staying silent does not automatically lose the case.

Your payment stays held for the whole dispute.
