How secure is FashionistaGrail ?
MONEY BACK FOR BUYERS + SELLERS
The FashionistaGrail marketplace is safe thanks to our security team and community self-policing. In the rare case where something does go wrong all transactions conducted through FashionistaGrail are eligible for Stripes dispute resolution process. To be eligible for protection, all sellers must ship to a confirmed address with tracking information.
When a cardholder disputes a payment you’ve processed, you are charged a £15.00 dispute fee (for users in the United Kingdom) by the card network. This amount is withdrawn from your account balance along with disputed amount.
If you submit evidence against the dispute and it is found in your favor, Stripe reimburses you for the dispute fee.
When applicable, Stripes program entitles you to reimbursement for the full purchase price of the item plus the original shipping costs you paid, if any, as long as you provide compelling evidence that supports your claim. Photographic evidence, tracking information, and written statements may be required in order to file your case. In the rare instance that a claim with compelling evidence is decided unfairly, you are also eligible for FashionistaGrail Protection.
FashionistaGrail Protection
FashionistaGrail Protection is an appeals process for your claim. It provides an additional layer of security in the rare case that a claim with compelling evidence is decided unfairly. In order to be eligible for FashionistaGrail Protection, you must have already completed a Stripe claim. Please note that closing a case yourself prior to review by Stripe will render you ineligible for protection through both FashionistaGrail and Stripe. If you believe that Stripe unfairly resolved your claim, send us your resolution and we will happily review your case.
Offsite Transactions
A common tactic used by scammers is to offer a discount on the asking price to entice users to go outside the FashionistaGrail system. Users who attempt to conduct transactions offsite are almost always fraudulent. Offsite transactions are not eligible for FashionistaGrail Protection and may not be eligible for Stripe protection either. For your safety we actively warn and ban users who attempt to conduct unsafe, offsite transactions.
Zero-Tolerance Fraud Policy
We take fraud very seriously. In order to keep the community safe for all users, the security team constantly monitors the marketplace for fraudulent items and dishonest buyers/sellers. Our Zero-Tolerance Policy means that anyone posting counterfeit goods, posting items they do not own, or engaging in any other duplicitous behavior will be immediately banned. Please exercise good judgement when using the marketplace
