If the item you purchased is not as expected. For example:
- The item does not work or does not work as expected
- The item you received is not what described in the listing
- The code cannot be redeemed or redeemed for an item that is not as described in the listing
- You did not receive the item
In short, if what you received does not match the description on the listing, we highly recommend you to immediately contact the seller via Gameflip by using the chat available with your order. Most of the time, the seller can remedy your issue quickly.
However, if the seller does not resolve your issue in a timely manner, you must open a dispute by choosing "Hold Transaction and Open Issue". This option is available in the Review & Complete Transaction section on the purchase page:
When opening a dispute, you will be asked to select and describe the issue with your order. You will also be requested to attach one or more screenshots showing what is wrong with the item you received.
After you open a dispute, the 3-day countdown to auto-complete the transaction is stopped, and a new 5-day countdown will start so you and the seller can try to reach a solution, either to complete the transaction or to escalate the dispute to be analyzed and decided by our Support Team. During the dispute process, you can exchange messages with the seller and our support agents.
Note: messages sent to our support team on the Dispute Support chatbox can only be read by our support agents.
Within these 5 days, if the seller does not respond to your dispute, the transaction will be automatically cancelled, and you will be refunded. If the seller responds to the dispute, but you are still unsatisfied, you must escalate the dispute to Gameflip. If you do not escalate the dispute to our Support Team, the dispute will be automatically closed, and transaction will be completed.
Escalating a dispute
If the seller responds to your dispute, you have 5 days to decide whether to escalate the dispute to Gameflip Support Team. If you do, you agree that the Gameflip Support Team will review the evidence and decide the outcome of the dispute.
