PayPal dispute evidence

PayPal refund dispute? Organise the evidence first.

PayPal disputes can move quickly. Before raising or following up, gather the order, payment, delivery, messages and screenshots in one place.

Keep platform and retailer evidence separate

Save PayPal transaction details, seller messages, order confirmations and any retailer or marketplace messages separately so the timeline is easy to follow.

Describe the problem in one paragraph

Was it not delivered, faulty, not as described, cancelled or refunded late? Keep the core issue clear.

Attach proof that matches the issue

Use tracking for non-delivery, photos for damage, screenshots for misleading descriptions and messages for ignored refund requests.

Know the limits of the pack

Refund Kit prepares your complaint and evidence pack. It does not manage PayPal disputes for you or guarantee an outcome.

Copy-paste starting wording

I am writing about order/reference [REFERENCE]. I paid [AMOUNT] on [DATE]. The issue is: [SHORT FACTUAL SUMMARY]. I have attached the evidence I hold, including [EVIDENCE LIST]. Please confirm by [DATE] how this will be resolved.

Only use wording that is true for your situation. Refund Kit helps turn your own facts into a fuller complaint pack with documents, PDFs, checklists and a tracker.

Draft support only — no guaranteed outcome, and nothing is sent for you. Refund Kit is not a law firm, financial adviser, claims management company or ombudsman service.
