Dispute Resolution
Last updated: 13 May 20261. Overview
Musės Shop operates a fair dispute resolution process for any disagreements between buyers and sellers. We aim to resolve the majority of disputes within 14 business days.
2. How to Raise a Dispute
- Contact the seller first — use the messaging function on your order page to explain the problem. Most issues (wrong item, damage in transit, etc.) can be resolved directly. Allow the seller at least 3 business days to respond.
- Escalate to Musės — if the seller has not responded or a resolution cannot be reached, email support@muses.lt with your order number, a description of the issue, and any supporting evidence (photos, correspondence). You can escalate any time from day 4 after first contact with the seller, up to 60 days from the delivery date.
- Musės mediation — our support team will review the evidence from both parties and issue a decision within 14 business days of receiving all information. We may request additional evidence and may place a temporary hold on seller payouts while the dispute is open.
3. Possible Outcomes
- Full refund to the buyer and chargeback of seller earnings
- Partial refund agreed between parties
- Replacement item dispatched by seller at seller's cost
- Dispute dismissed if evidence supports the seller's position
4. Chargebacks
If you initiate a chargeback with your bank or card issuer instead of following this dispute process, you may forfeit your right to our platform-level protection. We co-operate fully with Stripe and card networks in chargeback investigations.
5. Fraudulent Disputes
Submitting a dispute with knowingly false information is a violation of our Terms & Conditions and may result in account suspension.
6. EU Online Dispute Resolution
EU consumers may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
