The Seller uses the Delivery system to extend the delivery due date to complete the requested service without providing the final delivered service. Note that multiple reported offenses will result in permanent suspension of your account.
The Seller delivers no files and/or proof of work related to the agreed-upon order requirements. Note: The subjectivity of the materials in question will be reviewed by our Customer Support team.

Gettsorted Customer Support will review cases of Order delivery manipulation that prevents users from fully utilizing our Resolution Center that enabled the order to be marked as complete.

Chargebacks

Gettsorted reviews cases of payment provider chargebacks and disputes on behalf of Sellers. Although results vary per case due to each chargeback reason, we work hard on resolving disputes in the Seller’s favor. If the chargeback case allows, Gettsorted (or one of our Payment Services Providers) will return parts or full revenue to Sellers, otherwise, the chargeback amount will be borne by the Seller.

Refunds

Gettsorted does not automatically refund payments made for canceled orders back to your payment provider. Funds from order cancellations are returned to the Buyer's Balance and are available for future purchases. As of January 1, 2023, Gettsorted returns service fees to your Balance once an order is canceled. In any event, if the service fees were not returned to your Balance following an order cancelation, such service fees’ amount will be exempted from your next purchase.
Deposit refunds (i.e. refunds directly to your payment provider) can be performed by our Customer Support team, based on the Order’s original payment amount and currency. To prevent fraud and abuse, we limit the total amount of times users can request a payment provider refund, which is subject to review by our Customer Support team. Such refunds may be subject to an additional fee.

Sellers are advised to upload a clear and sharp professional-like image of themselves for their profile picture, along with a simple but detailed bio on themselves and the skills they have to offer.
