Does anyone have any advice about what to do with an unfulfilled Made.com order? We paid £1350 for 3 beds to Made.com due for delivery next month (December 2022) and meanwhile Made.com have gone bust along with our money. Has anyone experience of raising a dispute via PayPal in this situation. It's not clear to me which category I should open a dispute with them via PayPal (is it cancellation, request to refund? - none of the PayPal dispute categories really fits) Made.com is now with the liquidators and the chances of us getting a refund via that avenue is very slim. Thanks in advance for any info or advice 🙂

You should be covered by buyer protection for item not received, regardless of them going into liquidation.

 

Once you have opened a dispute make sure you put exactly what has happened and escalate the dispute to a claim before it reaches 20 days and auto

closes.


How do I open a dispute with a seller when a purchase goes wrong?

You can open a dispute in the Resolution Centre of your PayPal account within 180 days of payment if:
You don’t receive the item OR service
•You receive an item but it’s significantly different than the description or you receive a totally different product.

By opening a dispute, you can communicate directly with your seller to work out a problem transaction.
If you reach an agreement with the seller you can close the dispute. If you're still not happy with the result, you can escalate the dispute into a claim. Paypal will review the claim and decide on reimbursement.

These steps apply to Personal accounts. If you have a Business account, please log in to see the steps that apply to you.

To open a dispute:
1.Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click on the transaction and use the resolve a problem option at the bottom of that details page.

Note:
•Generally buyers must wait at least 7 days from the date of payment to escalate a dispute for an item not received
•Where an item has not been received, please ensure you have given the seller enough time before opening a dispute

Escalate the dispute to a claim within 20 days (before it times out), if you need Paypal to get involved.

If that does not work then if you funded your paypal payment via a card then contact your card issuer and see if they will issue a chargeback.
