How do I file a dispute and make a claim if I have a problem with my purchase?

To file a dispute

If you face a problem with an item you purchased and paid with your PayPal account, file a dispute in our Resolution Centre within 45 days from the date you paid for your purchase.


Note: When you file a dispute, PayPal will notify both the seller and yourself (the buyer). The seller and buyer can then post messages to each other in the Resolution Centre and amicably attempt at resolving the issue. Please make sure not to post messages which are offensive, discourteous, false, misleading, profane, abusive, threatening or otherwise inappropriate.

To make a claim
If you are unable to resolve the dispute with your seller via the Resolution Centre, you can then escalate the dispute into a claim by following these simple steps. You will have 20 days to file a claim from the date the dispute was opened:

Note: For purchases made from a seller outside of your country, it may take longer for the item to arrive. Before you file a dispute or a claim, please make sure to leave adequate time for delivery which could take several weeks, depending on where the seller is located. So sometimes, a simple post to the seller can reassure you that your item is on its way.

Do I get back my claimed amount?

PayPal will review all posted messages to evaluate the claim. If the decision is made in your favor, then the amount will be credited into your PayPal account at least after 7 days.

We wish all Mudah customers a happy and safer shopping with PayPal!
