On the rare occasion that something goes wrong during the buying process, we’re here to help. Sellwild’s Buyer Guarantee program allows you to shop confidently knowing you'll receive a full refund for qualifying orders when your item:
Doesn’t arrive
Arrives damaged
Differs significantly from the item description or photos (for example, the wrong material or color)
Any order that is shipped on or after March 1, 2023 is eligible for Sellwild's Buyer Guarantee.
How do I get my refund?
If you believe your order qualifies for Sellwild's Buyer Guarantee, the first step is to reach out to the seller by starting a Help request. 90% of order issues can be resolved by working with the seller.
If the issue hasn’t been resolved and it’s been 48 hours since you first messaged the seller, and the estimated delivery date for your order has passed, ask Sellwild to step in to help you get your refund. You may need to provide some photos of damaged or misrepresented items.
Once your refund eligibility is confirmed, Sellwild will send you a confirmation email.
I purchased as a guest
You must have an Sellwild account to start a Help request. If you purchased an item as a guest, connect your order to a new or existing Sellwild account so you can be eligible for the Buyer Guarantee program.
What happens to the seller if I request a refund?
An occasional case opened against a seller will not negatively impact them or their shop.
All cases that are opened on Sellwild are taken seriously, and are reviewed carefully by our case team to ensure the right decision is made. We understand that even the most experienced sellers can have unexpected issues from time to time, which is why Sellwild's Buyer Guarantee program is in place to help sellers with qualifying orders.
Buyer Guarantee Program Policy
As a buyer, you have the ability to file a claim for any shipped purchase if there is an issue with your item. However, before you file a claim, we recommend requesting a refund directly from the seller as this will likely give you a faster resolution. If you’re unable to request a refund from the seller successfully, you can file a Buyer Guarantee Program claim.
