Public Pro Shop Buyer Policies: Payment, Disputes & Dispatch Info
At Public Pro Shop, timely dispatch is essential for maintaining a trustworthy and efficient marketplace. We set clear dispatch expectations to ensure a seamless shopping experience, reflecting our commitment to both buyer satisfaction and seller success.
Standard Dispatch Window: Our sellers are expected to dispatch items within 2-3 days following an order. This promptness is key to upholding buyer trust and enhancing seller reputation within our community.
Support for Sellers: Recognizing that unforeseen circumstances can arise, we offer the 'Holiday Mode' feature for temporary listing suspension. This allows sellers to manage their dispatch commitments realistically, without adversely affecting buyer experience.
Monitoring and Enforcement: Public Pro Shop actively monitors dispatch times. If a seller fails to dispatch an item within 5 days, we issue a warning and inform the buyer of the delay. This step ensures transparency and maintains communication standards.
Critical Dispatch Failures: In cases where an order remains undispached for 10 days, we take decisive action: the order is automatically cancelled, the buyer is fully refunded, and the seller's account is placed in 'Holiday Mode'. Furthermore, such incidents are immediately reported to Public Pro Shop support for review. This policy is in place to safeguard our community’s interests and maintain the integrity of transactions on our platform.
Adherence to these dispatch policies is fundamental in sustaining the high-quality service that defines Public Pro Shop. We endeavor to support our sellers in meeting these standards, while also protecting the rights and expectations of our buyers.
At Public Pro Shop, we encourage self-resolution of disputes between buyers and sellers as a primary approach. Our platform steps in as a mediator only when parties are unable to reach an agreement independently.
Advocating for Self-Resolution: We believe in empowering our community members to resolve disputes through direct communication. This often leads to faster, more satisfactory outcomes and helps maintain positive relationships within the marketplace.
Mediation as a Last Resort: In cases where a resolution cannot be reached, Public Pro Shop intervenes with a thorough and impartial review process. Our intervention is considered a serious step, as it can have broader implications for the parties involved, potentially affecting their account status, reputation, and future activities on the platform.
Finality of Decisions: Decisions rendered by Public Pro Shop are final and conclusive. These decisions are made with utmost care and consideration for the integrity of the marketplace. Once a decision is made, it is binding and irrevocable, emphasizing the significance and impact of our involvement.
Transparency and Support: Throughout the dispute resolution process, we maintain transparent communication, offering guidance and support to both parties. Our objective is to resolve disputes in a manner that upholds the values and trust inherent in our community.
