Manage returns, missing items, and refunds for sellers.

If a customer has a problem with their order, or if they change their mind about a purchase, they'll get in touch with you and ask for help. Once the buyer tells you there's a problem, you as the trader will need to resolve it.

If an item has gone missing and hasn't arrived, you'll either need to provide additional/more detailed tracking details, or offer a replacement or refund. If the buyer got their item but it's faulty, damaged, or doesn't match the listing description, you'll have to work with them to resolve their issue. If they changed their mind, how you can respond, and who pays for return postage, will depend on your return policy.

Wyre Council and Fleetwood Market are not responsible for any orders and products on the site and it is up to the individual trader to resolve these issues.

What should I do if I think a buyer is making an unreasonable demand?

You're not required to agree to any extras or changes from the terms of your listing. If a buyer is making demands that are not a part of your original listing, you will be protected from negative Feedback and defects when you either deliver the item purchased by the buyer according to the original terms of your listing, or cancel the transaction.

We encourage you to communicate politely and professionally with the buyer.
