If you’re selling as an individual, you’re not required to offer a refund unless your item has not been sent or is not as described.
If you’re selling as a registered business, you must follow the relevant distance selling regulations. Buyers can open a dispute up to 180 days from the transaction date if they feel the item is ‘not as described’.
Remember to always refund a buyer directly from the original transaction. This way, the refund is associated with the transaction and cannot be disputed.
Note: You won’t receive a refund of your PayPal fee.
