Resolving Disputes

A guide to our dispute resolution process for buyers and sellers.

Our Commitment to Fairness

The HUBB24 dispute resolution system is designed to provide a fair, transparent, and structured process to resolve issues between buyers and sellers. We encourage direct communication first but are here to mediate when necessary.

Step 1: Opening a Dispute (For Buyers)

If you have an issue with an order, the first step is to formally open a dispute.

  • Navigate to your 'My Orders' page.
  • Find the relevant order and click the 'Open Dispute' button (available for confirmed, shipped, or delivered orders).
  • Select the reason for the dispute (e.g., 'Product not received', 'Product damaged').
  • Provide a clear, detailed description of the issue. The more detail, the better.
  • Upload any supporting evidence, such as photos of a damaged item or screenshots of conversations.
Step 2: The Dispute is Created

Once submitted, a formal dispute case is created and both the buyer and seller are notified.

  • The case will appear in the 'My Disputes' section for both parties.
  • The initial goal is to facilitate direct communication to resolve the issue amicably.
  • The dispute status will be 'Open'.
Step 3: Communicate Through the Dispute Chat

All communication about the dispute should happen within the dedicated chat on the Dispute Details page.

  • Navigate to 'My Disputes' and click on the case to view its details.
  • Use the chat to discuss the problem professionally with the other party.
  • Explain your side of the story calmly and state your desired resolution (e.g., refund, replacement).
  • Keeping communication in the chat creates an official record for admin review if needed.
Step 4: Provide Additional Evidence

Both the buyer and seller can upload additional evidence to support their claims.

  • On the Dispute Details page, you can add more photos, videos, or documents.
  • Strong evidence is key to a fair resolution, especially if an admin needs to intervene.
Step 5: Admin Intervention (If Needed)

If you cannot reach an agreement, the dispute can be escalated for review by HUBB24's support team.

  • An admin will review all the details, communication logs, and evidence provided by both parties.
  • The dispute status will change to 'Under Review'.
  • The admin will make a fair and impartial decision based on the evidence.
Step 6: Resolution and Closing

The final step is the resolution of the case.

  • A resolution might be a full refund, a partial refund, a product return, or another agreement.
  • Once the agreed-upon action is completed, the dispute is marked as 'Resolved' and then 'Closed'.
  • The case is now considered complete.
