01 —About Reluv
Reluv is an online marketplace. It lets people list items for sale, and other people buy them.
Most sellers on Reluv are private individuals selling their own pre-loved items. Some are businesses we have approved as Business Sellers, who sell in the course of their trade or business and are identified as such on their profile and on every listing.
In these Terms, “Seller” means any user who lists an item, whether a private individual or a Business Seller. “Buyer” means any user who purchases an item. Sellers and Buyers are together referred to as “Users”.
Your rights differ depending on who you buy from. When you buy from a Business Seller, you buy as a consumer from a business, and consumer law gives you rights including a 14-day right to change your mind — see Section 16. When you buy from a private individual, those consumer law rights do not apply; purchases from private sellers are covered by Reluv's Buyer Protection instead.
Reluv is not a seller, retailer, or trader. We do not own, inspect, warehouse, or dispatch any item listed on the Platform. The contract of sale for any item is formed exclusively between the Buyer and the Seller. Reluv is not a party to that contract.
Reluv acts solely as an intermediary providing the technology platform and facilitating payment processing and holding arrangements via Stripe. Reluv is not a buyer, seller, retailer, or trader, does not take title to any item, and does not guarantee the quality, authenticity, or delivery of any item. Payments are held by Stripe solely to enable Buyer protection and dispute resolution; Reluv does not hold or control those funds as principal.
Reluv's role is limited to:
- providing the technology platform that connects Buyers and Sellers;
- acting as a payment intermediary (via Stripe) to hold and release funds in accordance with these Terms; and
- adjudicating disputes between Buyers and Sellers where they cannot resolve matters directly.
No general agency. Except as expressly set out in these Terms, nothing in them creates an employment, partnership, joint-venture or agency relationship between Reluv and any User, and Reluv is not a party to any contract of sale between a buyer and a seller.
Limited agency. Where these Terms state that Reluv acts on a seller's behalf, Reluv acts as that seller's agent for those purposes only. Those purposes are limited to: (a) giving buyers the pre-contract information the seller is required to give; (b) receiving and acknowledging cancellation notices; (c) providing and administering return postage; (d) receiving information about returned goods, including carrier scans; (e) making reimbursements and applying deductions in accordance with these Terms; and (f) operating the dispute and review processes described in these Terms. Acting as agent for those purposes does not make Reluv the seller of any item, a party to any contract of sale, or liable for the seller's performance of it.
Following and notifications. The Platform lets you follow other Users' shops. When you follow a shop, you agree that Reluv may send you related activity updates — including in-app notifications and a periodic email summary when shops you follow list new items. These are part of the following feature and are not marketing. You can turn them off at any time in your notification settings, or via the unsubscribe link in the email.
02 —Eligibility
To use the Platform you must:
- be at least 18 years of age;
- be resident in the United Kingdom (or be purchasing from a UK-based Seller where we support international Buyers);
- have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts;
- provide accurate, current, and complete information when registering and at all times thereafter; and
- not have been previously banned from the Platform or have an outstanding Platform ban in force.
By creating an account you represent and warrant that all of the above conditions are met. We reserve the right to verify eligibility at any time and to suspend or terminate accounts where eligibility requirements are not satisfied.
Anyone selling on Reluv in the course of a trade, business, craft or profession must be approved by us as a Business Seller and must accept the Commercial Seller Terms. Selling as a business on a private account is not permitted, and presenting a business as a private seller is a banned commercial practice under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account we reasonably believe is being used for business selling without approval. Where we have approved a seller as a Business Seller, Section 16 and the Commercial Seller Terms govern their selling activity instead of the private-seller rules in Section 3.
03 —Seller obligations
Selling as a private individual
You may list items you own and acquired for your own use rather than to resell, whether new or used. Buying stock in order to sell it on requires an approved Business Seller account (Section 16).
When you list an item as a private individual you confirm, for that listing, that you are selling as a private individual and not in the course of a business, trade, craft or profession, and that the item is your own and was not acquired in order to resell it. You must not misrepresent your status — presenting yourself as a private seller while in fact selling as a business is prohibited and may be unlawful. We may remove listings, suspend, or close accounts where we reasonably believe a Seller is trading, and we may use sales activity (including volume), listing patterns, account signals, and other indicators to identify and act against suspected business selling.
Listings
When creating a listing, Sellers must:
- sell only as a private individual, and not in the course of a business, trade, or profession, unless approved by Reluv as a Business Seller under Section 16;
- accurately describe the item's condition, size, brand, and any defects or damage, however minor;
- use a cover photo that is their own photograph of the actual item for sale; additional photos may include stock or manufacturer images to illustrate the product, provided the listing as a whole is not misleading about the specific item being sold;
- include at least one clear photograph of the item's label or tag;
- ensure all photographs are clear, in focus, and well lit, and genuinely show the item being sold; where photographs do not meet these requirements, Reluv may ask the Seller to improve them and, acting reasonably, may remove or suspend the listing in accordance with Section 10 (which sets out the statement of reasons and appeal rights that apply); removing a listing does not affect any sale already completed;
- set a fair and accurate price — artificially inflating prices to manipulate the fee structure is prohibited;
- ensure they are the lawful owner of the item and have the right to sell it; and
- not list any item that falls within the Prohibited Items categories set out in Section 8.
Sellers are solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of their listings. Reluv does not verify listing content and accepts no liability for inaccuracies.
Dispatch SLA
Once a Buyer's order is confirmed (payment successfully captured), the Seller must dispatch the item within 5 calendar days. This dispatch deadline is our service-level agreement (“SLA”). Dispatch means handing the item to the carrier and marking it as shipped on the Platform using a Reluv-generated shipping label and valid tracking. For the Seller Lost-Parcel Guarantee (Section 7), the item must additionally be shown to have entered the carrier's network — by a carrier scan or, where no scan is available, by valid proof of postage the Seller provides on request.
If the Seller fails to dispatch within this window, the order is automatically cancelled and the Buyer refunded in full. Persistent failure to meet dispatch SLAs may result in account suspension.
Cancellations by Sellers
Sellers may cancel an order only before a shipping label has been created — for example if the item has been lost or damaged. Once a label has been created the order can no longer be cancelled by the Seller. Repeated Seller cancellations may attract account restrictions.
Post-sale conduct
Sellers must engage honestly and promptly with Buyer queries, the dispute process (see Section 7), and any request for information from Reluv. Sellers must not attempt to conduct transactions outside the Platform in order to avoid fees or Buyer protections. Transactions arranged or completed off the Platform are not covered by Buyer protection, secure payment holding, or our dispute process, and Reluv accepts no responsibility for them.
If you turn on bundles, additional obligations apply — see Section 17.
04 —Buyer obligations
Buyers must:
- read listings carefully before purchasing, including condition descriptions and photographs;
- complete payment promptly after placing an order;
- provide an accurate and accessible delivery address;
- inspect the item upon delivery and, if there is an issue, open a dispute within the applicable window described in Section 7 — do not confirm the item is OK if you intend to dispute;
- confirm the item is OK honestly and promptly once they have received and inspected the item; and
- not attempt to abuse the dispute process by making dishonest claims.
Once a Buyer confirms the item is OK, the payout to the Seller is queued and cannot be reversed except through the formal dispute process and only where a dispute has been opened within the permitted window.
05 —Fees and payments
Seller fee
Reluv does not charge Sellers a selling fee. The Seller receives the full price they set for the item, less any postage and carrier-surcharge amounts they are responsible for (see below).
Buyer protection fee
Buyers pay a Buyer Protection Fee of £0.70 plus 6% of the item price, with the 6% charged on the first £150 of the item price only. No percentage fee is charged on any part of the price above £150, so the fee is capped at £9.70 (£0.70 + £9.00), however high the item price.
The Buyer Protection Fee is included in the total price shown on each listing before you choose to buy, so the headline price you see is the price you pay for the item and its protection. Shipping is the only amount added at checkout, because it depends on your delivery address and chosen carrier; it is always shown to you in full before you confirm payment.
What this protects. Your payment is held securely (see Section 6). Where a dispute is resolved in your favour before those funds are released, you receive a full refund of the item price from the held funds — there is no cap on the return of money held for your order, whatever the item's price. This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
Shipping
Shipping is paid by the Buyer at checkout. Shipping options and prices are provided through our shipping partners and shown to the Buyer before purchase. We may change shipping partners or carriers from time to time without notice; the price shown to the Buyer at checkout is the price that applies to that order.
Carrier surcharges
When a Seller selects a postage option and a label is generated for their parcel, that label is a binding declaration to the carrier that the parcel's weight and dimensions fall within that option's limits. Couriers may inspect, re-weigh or re-measure parcels after collection and apply an additional charge (a surcharge) where a parcel exceeds the limits the Seller declared.
Reluv pays any such surcharge to the carrier on the Seller's behalf, and the Seller agrees to reimburse Reluv in full. Reluv recovers the amount from the Seller's sale proceeds or, at the Seller's option, by direct payment. A surcharge arises from the Seller's own declaration, is the Seller's responsibility, and is not charged to the Buyer.
Non-refundability of fees
The Buyer Protection Fee pays for a service — the secure holding of your payment, Buyer protection, and access to our dispute process — that is supplied to you from the moment you place your order and continues throughout the transaction. Because that service is provided in full, the Buyer Protection Fee is non-refundable, except where Reluv is solely at fault for an error that resulted in a failed or incorrectly processed transaction. Fees are not refunded in the event of a Buyer-initiated return, Seller cancellation, or dispute outcome — in those cases, the refund or payout relates to the item price and shipping only. This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
Payment processing
All payments are processed by Stripe, a PCI DSS-compliant third-party payment processor. By placing an order, Buyers agree to Stripe's Terms of Service. Reluv does not store full card details. Stripe may apply additional fraud screening at its discretion.
Tax and digital-platform reporting (DAC7)
You are responsible for any tax due on your sales. Reluv is a digital platform within the scope of the UK's reporting rules for digital platforms (commonly known as “DAC7”). If your sales pass the reporting thresholds in a calendar year, we are required by law to report certain information about you and your activity to HMRC, and to obtain a tax identifier (your National Insurance number or Unique Taxpayer Reference) for that purpose. To minimise the sensitive data we hold, this identifier and your date of birth are collected and held securely by Stripe; Reluv stores only confirmation that they have been provided. Our Privacy Policy explains exactly what data this involves and how it is handled.
Where we report information about you to HMRC, we will also give you a copy of that information by 31 January following the end of the calendar year it relates to, so you have it for your own records and tax return. If you are required to provide a tax identifier (your National Insurance number or Unique Taxpayer Reference) and have not done so after we have asked you, including by reminder, we may withhold your payouts and/or restrict or suspend your ability to sell until you provide it. We are required by law to collect and verify this information, and to take these steps where it is not provided.
Bundle orders are priced and charged differently — see Section 17.
06 —Holding and releasing funds
When a Buyer places an order, funds are held securely by our payment processor, Stripe, and are not released to the Seller until one of the following conditions is met:
- the Buyer confirms the item is OK; or
- the carrier confirms delivery and no dispute is opened within the 48-hour window; or
- the item remains undelivered but its tracking shows it progressing towards delivery and, on review, we treat it as probably delivered under the backstop for undelivered orders described below.
Delivery confirmation: An order is marked as delivered only when the carrier's tracking confirms delivery or the Buyer marks the item as delivered. The Platform does not mark items as delivered automatically — an order that has not been confirmed delivered remains shown as in transit.
Undelivered orders (backstop): If delivery is never confirmed (for example, the carrier does not report it), the order remains in transit and we do not pay out on a fixed timer. Instead, from around 11 days after dispatch we review the carrier tracking: where it shows the parcel progressing towards delivery, we may treat the item as probably delivered and, following that review, release the Seller's funds (provided no dispute is open), protecting Sellers from missing carrier tracking; where the parcel entered the carrier's network but then recorded no further movement, or was never scanned, the order is instead held for a carrier investigation and is not paid out on an assumption — it is resolved under the non-delivery process in Section 7. The Buyer's right to raise a non-delivery dispute is preserved throughout (see Section 7).
Payout timing: Where delivery is recorded (by the Buyer or the carrier), the Seller's payout is initiated shortly (within a few hours) after the 48-hour dispute window closes; if the Buyer confirms the item is OK, that window closes immediately. Where delivery is never confirmed, payout follows the undelivered-order backstop above. In all cases, an open dispute or carrier investigation keeps funds held by Stripe until it is resolved.
Payment-provider settlement (new Seller accounts): Payouts can only be sent once the funds from the sale have settled with our payment processor. For security and fraud-prevention reasons, Stripe holds funds from sales on newly created Seller accounts for up to 7 days from the payment date before they become available to pay out; this period typically shortens as the account builds history. Where settlement completes later than the release conditions above, the payout is sent automatically as soon as the funds settle. The expected payout date for each sale is shown on the Seller's sale page.
Disputes: If a dispute is opened within the 48-hour window, funds remain held by Stripe until the dispute is resolved (see Section 7).
Refunds: Where a refund is due (following a dispute outcome or Seller cancellation), it is processed via Stripe and may take 5–10 business days to appear in the Buyer's account, depending on their bank or card issuer.
Reluv does not pay interest on funds held by Stripe pending release.
07 —Disputes and resolution
Opening a dispute
A Buyer may open a dispute:
- where the Seller is a Private Seller, within 48 hours of delivery being recorded (by the Buyer or the carrier); or
- where the Seller is a Business Seller, within 14 days of delivery being recorded — the same period as the cancellation window for Business Seller purchases described in Section 16. This does not affect any longer statutory rights you may have against the Seller under consumer law; or
- where the item has not been confirmed delivered, from 7 days after the Seller marked it as dispatched (for example, a “not received” dispute).
To open a dispute the Buyer must provide photographs and a written description of the issue.
The dispute window closes permanently once a Buyer confirms the item is OK, and a dispute cannot be opened once the Seller's funds have been released. Disputes cannot be opened after the applicable window has closed, regardless of circumstances.
Seller response
On receipt of a dispute, the Seller will be notified and given the opportunity to respond with counter-evidence (photographs, messages, or other documentation). Both parties may communicate through the Resolution Centre on the Platform.
Evidence and authenticity
All evidence submitted in connection with a dispute — whether by the Buyer or the Seller, and whether photographs, video, audio, screenshots, messages, receipts, tracking records or other documents — must be genuine, unaltered, and a true, complete and accurate representation of the item, its condition and the relevant events as they actually were at the relevant time. Evidence must be submitted through the Platform's dispute interface (the Resolution Centre).
In particular, you must not:
- edit, retouch, enhance, manipulate or otherwise digitally alter a photograph, video or audio recording, or create, generate or modify any such media, in whole or in part, using artificial intelligence, generative tools or similar technology;
- crop, stage, selectively frame, re-time or otherwise present media or information in a way intended or likely to mislead, or omit part of a recording or document so as to give a misleading impression;
- alter, remove or falsify any file metadata, timestamp, tracking record, receipt, shipping label or other document;
- submit media or information relating to a different item, a different transaction, or a different time or condition as though it related to the transaction in dispute; or
- otherwise fabricate, falsify, misattribute or misrepresent any evidence.
The strongest evidence is original, unedited footage that clearly and continuously shows the item and the relevant event without interruption — for example, an unedited, continuous packing or unboxing video. You should retain the original, unedited files. On request, you must provide those original files (including, where reasonably available, their original metadata) so that Reluv can verify authenticity; where a party fails or refuses to do so without good reason, Reluv may give reduced weight to the evidence concerned.
Reluv may assess the authenticity, integrity and reliability of any evidence by such means as it considers appropriate, acting reasonably. Reluv may give reduced weight to, or disregard entirely, any evidence that it reasonably considers to have been altered, staged, fabricated, misattributed or otherwise not to be genuine, and may decide the dispute on the remaining evidence. Reluv is not obliged to use any particular method, tool or technology to assess evidence, and the absence of any such check does not validate any evidence or reduce a party's responsibility for it.
Submitting false, altered, incomplete or misleading evidence is a serious breach of these Terms. In addition to deciding the dispute accordingly, Reluv may take account-level action in accordance with Section 10 and may recover any amount it has paid out as a result of such evidence. Where Reluv becomes aware, after a dispute has been decided, that its decision was obtained through false, altered or misleading evidence, it may reopen and re-determine the dispute and recover any sums paid as a result, notwithstanding the finality of decisions otherwise provided for in this Section 7. Nothing in this sub-section limits any statutory rights a User may have.
Escalation and Reluv review
If Buyer and Seller cannot reach a mutually agreed resolution, either party may escalate the case to Reluv for review. A Reluv admin will examine the evidence provided by both parties and issue a binding decision. Reluv will not ordinarily seek or consider evidence that was not submitted through the Platform's dispute interface.
Possible outcomes
- Full refund to Buyer (ResolvedBuyer): The item price is refunded to the Buyer; the sale is unwound.
- Refund on return: The Buyer is refunded once they return the item to the Seller (see “Returns” below).
- Payment released to Seller (ResolvedSeller): The dispute is found in the Seller's favour and the payout is released.
- Case closed: The case is closed without a decisive finding where insufficient evidence was provided by either party; Reluv may, at its discretion, determine the outcome on the available evidence.
Seller Lost-Parcel Guarantee
As an inherent part of the marketplace service, and at no separate or additional charge, Reluv gives Sellers the following contractual commitment. This guarantee is separate from the Buyer Protection Fee, which is a buyer-facing charge and does not fund this guarantee.
Reluv will pay a Seller the item's sale price (the price the Seller set, excluding shipping and any buyer fee), up to a maximum of £150 per parcel, where all of the following apply:
- the Seller dispatched the item using a Reluv-generated shipping label, marking it as shipped within the dispatch period in Section 3 (Seller obligations);
- the item is shown to have entered the carrier's network — by a carrier scan or, where no scan is available, by valid proof of postage the Seller provides on request;
- following investigation, the carrier confirms the item lost in transit; and
- the Buyer is refunded for non-delivery under Section 6 (Holding and releasing funds), so that the Seller would otherwise be left unpaid.
Where tracking shows the item entered the carrier's network but records no further movement and no delivery for a continuous period of 7 days (the “no-movement period”), Reluv refers the matter to the carrier. The guarantee becomes payable only if the carrier's investigation confirms the loss; it does not apply where the carrier finds the item was not genuinely in its custody (for example, where a label was scanned but the item was not handed over).
This guarantee is the full extent of Reluv's responsibility to a Seller for a lost parcel and operates notwithstanding Section 11 (Limitation of liability). It does not apply to items dispatched off-Platform or on a label not generated by Reluv. Where Reluv pays under this guarantee: the Seller may not separately claim against the carrier for the same loss; the Seller's rights against the carrier are assigned to Reluv; and any compensation the carrier pays is set off against Reluv's payment, so there is no double recovery. The £150 limit is shown in the listing flow; where a single order is sent as one parcel, the limit applies to that parcel as a whole.
Nothing in this guarantee limits any statutory rights a User may have.
Non-delivery resolution
Where carrier tracking shows an item entered the carrier's network but has not been delivered, Reluv will notify the Buyer and invite them to confirm receipt or raise an item-not-delivered query.
If the Buyer raises an item-not-delivered query, it is handled under the dispute process in this Section 7.
If the Buyer does not respond within 7 days of Reluv's notification (the “buyer response period” — a separate period from the no-movement period above) and has not reported the item missing, then:
- where tracking shows the item progressing towards delivery, Reluv may treat the item as delivered and release the held funds to the Seller; and
- where tracking shows the item entered the carrier's network but then recorded no further movement for the no-movement period, Reluv refers the matter to the carrier for investigation and holds the funds for the order while it does so. Reluv will not refund on an assumption of loss, because the carrier may still locate and deliver the item.
Once the carrier confirms the outcome of its investigation, Reluv resolves the order: where the carrier confirms the loss, Reluv refunds the Buyer from the held funds and, where the Guarantee conditions are met, compensates the Seller under it; where the carrier delivers or locates the item, the standard holding and release of funds in Section 6 applies. Reluv is subrogated to the Buyer's and Seller's rights against the carrier to the extent of any payment it makes.
Reluv sends the notifications under this section by more than one channel where possible (for example, email and in-app), and will not treat a Buyer's silence as confirmation of delivery where it has reason to believe the notification did not reach them.
Returns
Some dispute outcomes require the Buyer to return the item before a refund is issued. Where a return is required, the Buyer must ship the item back to the Seller using a tracked delivery method — via the return label or tracking details provided through the Platform — within 5 calendar days of the return being requested.
If the Buyer does not ship the return within this window, the refund is voided and the transaction is automatically completed in the Seller's favour, with the payout released and no further appeal.
Once the Buyer marks the return as shipped, the Seller has 5 calendar days to receive, inspect, and confirm receipt of the item. If the Seller does not act within that window, the refund is released to the Buyer automatically. If the returned item is empty, tampered with, or materially different from the item that was sold, the Seller may reject the return with photographic evidence, and the case will be escalated to Reluv for a binding decision.
Finality of decisions
Our dispute process exists to resolve problems with an order fairly for both Buyers and Sellers: both parties are notified, both can submit evidence through the Resolution Centre, and a decision is made on the evidence provided. Reluv's decision is final and binding as a matter of our internal process — it determines how the funds held on the Platform for that order are released. Reluv provides this service on a reasonable-efforts basis; it is not legal proceedings and is not binding arbitration under the Arbitration Act 1996.
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR)
Reluv's Resolution Centre is our own internal process; it is not a certified alternative dispute resolution (ADR) body. Reluv is not currently registered with a certified ADR provider and does not undertake to use ADR. If we are unable to resolve a complaint with you to your satisfaction, this does not affect your statutory rights: you remain free to seek independent advice (for example from Citizens Advice) and to bring a claim in the courts of the United Kingdom.
Chargebacks
Because our dispute process is designed to give both Buyers and Sellers a fair outcome, we ask that you raise any problem with an order through the Resolution Centre before contacting your bank or card provider, and give us a reasonable opportunity to resolve it. If you raise a chargeback or payment reversal that bypasses our dispute process — in particular after a matter has already been decided through it — we may treat that as a breach of these Terms, defend the chargeback using the evidence on file, and seek to recover from you any amount we have already paid out as a result, together with reasonable costs of recovery. Nothing in this paragraph removes or limits any chargeback or dispute rights you have with your bank or card scheme, or your statutory rights — it sets out how we expect the dispute process to be used and what may follow if it is bypassed.
Disputes about bundle orders are handled under Section 17.
08 —Prohibited items
The following items may not be listed or sold on the Platform under any circumstances:
- Counterfeit and replica goods: Items that infringe trade marks, are presented as genuine branded goods when they are not, or are otherwise counterfeit or replica in nature.
- Stolen property: Items obtained by theft or dishonesty.
- Intellectual property infringements: Items that infringe copyright, design rights, or other intellectual property rights of any third party. For items you make and sell, this includes:
- items made from branded materials, including anything made from cut-up branded clothing or accessories;
- items that copy the design, shape or distinctive appearance of another product;
- items described as inspired by, in the style of, a dupe of, a tribute to, or an alternative to a named brand, band, team, film, game or person;
- unofficial merchandise of any kind, including for people, bands, teams, films, games and events; and
- listings that use another person's brand, name or character in the title, description, tags or search terms, whatever the item itself shows.
- Dangerous items: Weapons (including knives, firearms, imitation firearms, and related accessories), hazardous materials, or any item whose sale or supply is restricted or prohibited under UK law.
- Adult content: Sexually explicit items or content.
- Illegal items: Any item whose sale, supply, or possession is prohibited or restricted under the laws of England and Wales or UK law more broadly.
- Items outside our permitted categories: You may list items only in the categories we permit. These are currently clothing and fashion, homeware, toys, books, pet supplies and craft and hobby supplies, together with Beauty & Cosmetics, which is subject to the additional rules below, and items made by the seller, which are subject to our rules on items you have made. Items that do not fall within a permitted category may not be listed unless we allow it in writing.
- Items our carriers cannot carry: Any item that our shipping partners do not accept, or that cannot be sent safely and lawfully through them — including flammable, pressurised or otherwise dangerous goods for transport (such as perfumes, fragrances, aerosols and sprays, nail polish and nail-polish remover, and other flammable liquids). Such items may not be listed or shipped on the Platform, whatever their category.
- Unsafe or recalled goods: Any item that is subject to a product recall or safety warning, or that does not meet the product-safety requirements that apply to it under UK law — for example, unsafe or recalled toys, or electrical goods that are not safe to use. All items must be safe to use for their intended purpose.
Every listing must state the item's condition accurately, and new items must be identified as new. Items in our permitted categories may be new or pre-owned. If you sell as a private individual, Section 3 sets out which items are yours to sell. If you are an approved Business Seller, you may also list new items you have bought as stock. The Beauty & Cosmetics rules below apply in addition.
Beauty & Cosmetics — additional rules
Beauty and cosmetic items may only be listed in the Beauty category, and only where they are:
- brand-new and unused — in their original packaging. A manufacturer or tamper seal may be intact or absent, but the product itself must never have been used;
- genuine products of the brand shown, and safe, correctly labelled and legal to sell and supply in the United Kingdom; and
- within their usable life — not past any printed expiry or best-before (minimum durability) date. As the product must be unused, any period-after-opening (PAO) limit must not yet have begun.
The following must not be listed as beauty items:
- opened, used, part-used, swatched, tested, sampled or decanted products;
- testers, samples, or items marked “not for resale”;
- homemade, self-mixed, re-bottled or re-labelled cosmetics;
- any product that has been tampered with, or which is out of date; and
- perfumes, fragrances, aerosols and sprays, nail polish and nail-polish remover, and any other flammable or pressurised product — these are dangerous goods our shipping partners do not accept (see “Items our carriers cannot carry” above) and must not be listed or shipped on the Platform.
Cosmetics. You may only list a cosmetic product that someone else has already placed on the UK market lawfully.
You must not list a cosmetic product that you brought into the UK yourself — whether bought abroad, bought from a seller outside the UK, or shipped to you from outside the UK. If you bring a cosmetic product into the UK in order to sell it, you become the Responsible Person for it under the UK Cosmetics Regulation, and you take on obligations that include a safety assessment, a product information file, and notification to the UK government.
You must not list a cosmetic product that you have opened, decanted, repackaged, relabelled or otherwise altered, or that is not in its original packaging.
Before you list, you must check the packaging and satisfy yourself that it carries the information UK law requires — including the name and address of the person responsible for the product, an ingredient list, a batch code, and a durability date or period-after-opening symbol — and that the required information appears in English. You must upload a photograph of the panel showing it, and follow the checks set out in our Beauty listing rules, which say what we accept and how we review a photograph we cannot read. We may refuse to publish a listing, or remove one at any time, where we are not satisfied that it meets these requirements, and we may ask you for proof of where and when you bought the item.
You must describe each beauty item accurately. If you tell us an item is sealed, we will ask you for a photograph of the intact seal, because whether an item was sealed when it was sent affects whether a buyer can return it after changing their mind — see Section 16. None of this affects Buyer Protection where an item does not arrive or is not as described.
Listing a prohibited item may result in immediate removal of the listing, suspension or permanent banning of the account, and referral to law enforcement where appropriate. Reluv reserves the right to determine whether an item falls within a prohibited category, acting reasonably.
Reporting illegal content and online safety
No tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. There is zero tolerance for objectionable content — including content that is offensive, abusive, harassing, threatening, obscene, or discriminatory — and no tolerance for abusive Users. You can flag objectionable content and block abusive Users from within the app; blocking a User immediately removes their content from your feed. We aim to review reports and act on objectionable content within 24 hours by removing the content and ejecting the User who provided it.
Reluv allows Users to create listings and to message one another, and is a user-to-user service within the meaning of the Online Safety Act 2023. We take steps to assess and reduce the risk of illegal content appearing on the Platform, to act on reports, and to remove illegal content when we become aware of it.
Content review and automated screening. We may review the listings and listing images you submit, to check compliance with these Terms and to detect prohibited items, counterfeit or replica goods, and listings that do not meet our requirements. This review may be carried out manually and by automated means, including tools provided by trusted third-party service providers. Our automated screening of listing images is directed at the items offered for sale and not at identifying or analysing any person who may appear in a photo; it supports human decision-making and does not replace your responsibility for the legality and accuracy of your listings. Where content is found to breach these Terms or our policies, we may remove or suspend the listing, ask you to make changes, or take account-level action in accordance with Section 10, including your right to a statement of reasons and to request human review. We process content for these purposes in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
If you see a listing, message, image, or other content that you believe is illegal, counterfeit, stolen, or otherwise in breach of these Terms, please report it to us using the report option on the listing or conversation where available, or by emailing safety@reluv.co.uk. Tell us what the content is and where you found it. We review reports, remove content and take action against accounts where appropriate, and may report illegal content or activity to the relevant authorities. If you are not satisfied with how we have handled a report, you can ask us to review it by replying to our response or contacting legal@reluv.co.uk.
09 —Intellectual property
Reluv's intellectual property
All intellectual property rights in the Platform, including its software, design, trademarks, and content created by Reluv, are owned by or licensed to Reluv. Nothing in these Terms grants Users any right to use Reluv's intellectual property except as strictly necessary to use the Platform in accordance with these Terms.
User-generated content
By uploading photographs, descriptions, or other content to the Platform, you warrant that:
- the content is your own, or you are otherwise licensed to use it and to grant the rights in this section;
- any cover photo and other photographs of the item are your own original photographs;
- the content does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy or other rights of any third party;
- the content is accurate and not misleading; and
- you have obtained all necessary consents from any identifiable individual who appears in a photograph, including for that photograph to be used to promote the Platform.
Where a listing includes stock or manufacturer images permitted under Section 3, those images are licensed to Reluv only for display on your listing, and not for the marketing uses described below.
You grant Reluv a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, reproduce, display, adapt and distribute your content for the purposes of operating, improving and securing the Platform. You also grant Reluv a licence to use your own item photographs, together with the item details, to promote and advertise the Platform — including on our website and apps, in emails, on our social media accounts, and in paid advertising on third-party platforms. When we use your content to advertise, we use your own item photographs only (not third-party stock or manufacturer images), and we will not present them in a way that implies any third-party brand endorses Reluv.
You can ask us not to feature your content in our marketing at any time, via your account settings or by emailing marketing@reluv.co.uk; we will stop using it for new marketing within a reasonable period, although copies already published may remain. This marketing licence otherwise ends when you delete the content or close your account, subject to copies already published or distributed.
Reluv does not claim ownership of content you upload and does not use it for commercial purposes beyond operating and promoting the Platform.
Reviews and feedback
Leaving a review. After an order is delivered, the Buyer and the Seller may each leave the other a rating (from 1 to 5 stars) and an optional written comment (up to 1,000 characters) about that transaction. You may leave a review within 7 days of delivery. You may leave only one review per order, and once submitted a review cannot be edited or deleted by you (although Reluv may remove it as set out below).
Reviews are double-blind: you will not see the other party's review of an order until both of you have submitted a review, or the 7-day window has closed.
Where an order has been the subject of a dispute (see the Disputes and resolution section), the party against whom the dispute was decided may not leave a review for that order. Where a dispute is resolved by mutual agreement between the parties, both may leave a review.
How reviews are shown. A Seller's ratings are shown publicly on their profile once they have received their first review. A User's ratings as a Buyer have restricted visibility — broadly, they are visible to that User and to Sellers transacting with them — and are not shown publicly in the same way. We may change how ratings are displayed or calculated from time to time.
Review standards. When you leave a review, you must ensure that it:
- is honest, genuine, and your own first-hand experience of the actual transaction;
- relates to that transaction, the item, or the other party's conduct in connection with it; and
- does not contain anything that is false, misleading, abusive, harassing, threatening, discriminatory, obscene, defamatory or unlawful, and does not reveal the personal data or contact details of any person.
You must not write or procure a fake, dishonest or incentivised review, leave a review for a transaction that did not genuinely take place, or offer, solicit or accept any payment or benefit in exchange for leaving, amending, withholding or removing a review. Reviews are the views of the User who wrote them; they are not Reluv's views, and Reluv does not endorse or verify them.
Our oversight of reviews. Reluv may, acting reasonably, refuse to publish, hide or remove a review — and, where necessary, investigate it first — where we reasonably consider that it breaches the review standards above, or is false, fake, fraudulent, not based on a genuine transaction, abusive, defamatory, unlawful, or otherwise in breach of these Terms.
We do not remove a review simply because it is negative or critical. Genuine, honest feedback — including low ratings and unfavourable comments — is an important part of how Reluv works, and we will not remove it merely because the party reviewed would prefer that we did. Our oversight exists to protect against fake, abusive or unlawful reviews, not to suppress legitimate criticism.
Where we remove or refuse to publish your review, we will normally tell you and explain why, and you may contact us at legal@reluv.co.uk to ask us to reconsider — except where doing so would be unlawful or would prejudice the prevention or investigation of fraud, abuse or other wrongdoing.
Breaching the review standards is a breach of these Terms. In addition to removing the review, we may take account-level action in accordance with the Account suspension and bans section — for example, where a User repeatedly leaves fake, abusive or manipulated reviews.
Nothing in this section limits your statutory rights, or any right you may have to report content to us under the Reporting illegal content and online safety part of the Prohibited items section.
10 —Account suspension and bans
Reluv may suspend or permanently ban any User account at any time where we reasonably believe that the User has:
- breached these Terms;
- engaged in fraudulent, dishonest, or abusive conduct;
- listed or sold prohibited items;
- harassed, threatened, or abused another User;
- attempted to conduct transactions outside the Platform to circumvent fees or protections; or
- repeatedly failed to meet Seller dispatch SLAs or Buyer obligations.
How we take enforcement action
In cases involving suspected fraud, prohibited items, threats to the safety or security of the Platform or its Users, serious breaches of these Terms, or where required by law or by Stripe or another service provider, Reluv may suspend or terminate an account immediately and without prior notice. In all other cases we will provide reasonable notice where practicable. Users will be given a statement of reasons for any enforcement action and information on how to appeal, except where this is prohibited by law or would prejudice an ongoing investigation.
Email, IP, and account-signal recording
For fraud prevention purposes, we record the email address and IP address used at account registration and at each subsequent login, together with the approximate location (country) derived from that IP address. We may use these records and other account signals — such as account age, activity patterns, and accounts sharing the same connection — to detect fraud, ban evasion, and other abuse. This data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Ban evasion
Banned Users may not re-register using a different email address, device, or IP address. Attempting to evade a ban will result in permanent exclusion from the Platform and may be referred to law enforcement. Reluv uses email addresses and IP records, in combination with other signals, to detect and prevent ban evasion.
Appeals
If you believe your account has been suspended or banned in error, you may contact us at legal@reluv.co.uk with your account details and the reason for your appeal. We will review appeals within a reasonable time but are not obliged to reinstate accounts.
11 —Limitation of liability
Platform as intermediary
Reluv is a technology platform connecting independent Buyers and Sellers. The sale contract is between Buyer and Seller. Reluv is not responsible for:
- the quality, authenticity, condition, fitness for purpose, or safety of any item listed or sold through the Platform;
- the accuracy or completeness of any listing created by a Seller;
- the conduct, acts, or omissions of any Buyer or Seller;
- delays or failures in delivery, or the acts or omissions of any shipping carrier;
- Stripe, our shipping and label provider, our email provider, or any other third-party service provider integrated with the Platform; or
- the outcome of any dispute where Reluv has acted in good faith on the available evidence.
Cap on liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Reluv's total liability to any User in connection with the Platform, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the use of the Platform, shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total platform fees paid by that User to Reluv in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) £100.
This limitation applies to all claims arising from or in connection with the Platform's payment holding and release arrangements and its dispute resolution services, in each case subject to the “Statutory rights” provisions below.
Exclusion of certain losses
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Reluv excludes all liability for:
- loss of profits, revenue, or anticipated savings;
- loss of business, contracts, or opportunities;
- loss of goodwill or reputation;
- any indirect or consequential loss; and
- any loss arising from a User's reliance on the accuracy of listings or other User-generated content.
Statutory rights
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits Reluv's liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable UK law, including rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
12 —Indemnity
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Reluv, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or relating to:
- your use of the Platform;
- any item you list or sell, including claims by Buyers regarding authenticity, condition, or intellectual property infringement;
- your breach of these Terms, including any breach of the requirement to sell only as a private individual or any misrepresentation of your seller status or of an item's condition, authenticity, or provenance;
- your breach of any applicable law or regulation;
- any content you upload to the Platform, including infringement of any third party's intellectual property or other rights; or
- any dispute between you and another User.
This indemnity reflects the fact that the contract of sale is between Buyer and Seller. Where a third party brings a claim against Reluv arising from a transaction on the Platform, the relevant Buyer and/or Seller — not Reluv — are the appropriate respondents.
How we handle a claim
Where we ask you to indemnify us under this Section, we will notify you of the claim without undue delay, will not settle it without your consent (which you must not unreasonably withhold), and will allow you to take over its conduct at your own cost if you ask to. We will give you reasonable assistance with the claim at your cost, and you will not settle it in a way that requires us to admit fault or make a payment without our consent.
Items you have made
Where you list an item you made, you confirm that:
- nothing on the item, and nothing in your listing, uses another person's trade mark, logo, character, artwork or design without their permission, and the item is not made from branded materials or copied from another product's design; and
- the item is safe, meets the standards that apply to it, and is as you have described it.
The indemnity in this Section applies to any claim by a third party that an item you made and listed infringed their intellectual property rights or was unsafe or defective.
If you are a consumer, this section applies to you only in a limited way: you are responsible under it only for losses that arise from your own breach of these Terms, your own deliberate act, fault or negligence, or your infringement of a third party's rights, and only to the extent those losses were reasonably foreseeable. Nothing in this section requires you to compensate Reluv for losses caused by our own breach or negligence, makes you liable for indirect or unforeseeable losses, or affects your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
13 —Governing law
These Terms and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
You and Reluv agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except that if you are a consumer resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of Scotland or Northern Ireland respectively.
Your statutory rights as a consumer, including under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, apply where applicable. The terms of that Act prevail to the extent they conflict with any provision of these Terms.
14 —Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the law, our services, or our business practices. When we make material changes:
- we will post the updated Terms on this page with a new “Last updated” date;
- for existing registered Users, we will provide at least 30 days' notice by email before the changes take effect; and
- for new users registering after the update date, the updated Terms apply immediately.
If you do not agree with updated Terms, you must stop using the Platform before the effective date of the changes. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
Minor changes (such as corrections of typographical errors, clarifications that do not affect your rights, or updates to contact information) may be made without notice.

16 —Buying from Business Sellers
Defined terms: “Reluv”, “we”, “us” — Reluv Ltd, company number 17271596, registered office 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom; “Business Seller” — a seller we have approved to sell on Reluv in the course of their business, identified as such on their profile and listings; “Private Seller” — any other seller.
1. Who you are buying from
1.1 When you buy an item on Reluv, your contract for the sale of that item is with the seller named on the listing — not with Reluv. Reluv provides the platform and, acting on the seller's behalf, operates payment collection, postage, and the returns and refunds process described in this Section. Your use of Reluv itself is a separate contract between you and us, governed by these Terms.
1.2 Every listing shows whether the seller is a Business Seller or a Private Seller. This matters because your legal rights differ:
- Business Seller: you buy as a consumer from a business, and the rights in this Section — including the 14-day right to change your mind — apply.
- Private Seller: consumer law rights that apply to business sales (including the right to change your mind, and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights described in clause 9) do not apply. Purchases from Private Sellers are covered instead by Reluv's Buyer Protection process (Section 7).
2. Your right to change your mind (Business Seller purchases only)
2.1 When you buy from a Business Seller, you may cancel your purchase for any reason, or no reason, at any time up to 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate, other than the carrier) receive the item. If your order contains several items delivered on different days, the 14 days run from the day you receive the last of them.
2.2 The deadline is the end of the 14th day (midnight, UK time). You meet it as long as you send your cancellation before it passes.
3. How to cancel
3.1 The easiest way is to press “Start a return” on the order in the Reluv app or website. You can also cancel by sending us or the seller any clear statement of your decision — for example, by emailing returns@reluv.co.uk — or by using the model cancellation form at the end of this Section. You do not have to give a reason.
3.2 Whichever way you cancel, we will email you an acknowledgement without delay. Keep it.
4. When the right does not apply, or can be lost
4.1 The right to change your mind does not apply to purchases from Private Sellers (clause 1.2).
4.2 For items that are sealed for health protection or hygiene reasons (for example, sealed cosmetics or beauty products listed as “New & sealed”), you lose the right to change your mind if the seal is broken after delivery. Items listed without a hygiene seal are not affected by this clause.
5. Returning the item
5.1 If you cancel, you must send the item back within 14 days after the day you told us you were cancelling. You are free to examine the item as you could in a shop — for clothing, that includes trying it on; if your handling goes beyond that, the seller may claim a deduction from your refund (see clause 7.1).
5.2 When you start a return, you can choose:
- (a) a Reluv return label — we create a tracked label for you. The cost of the label is shown before you confirm and is deducted from your refund; or
- (b) your own postage — you arrange and pay the carrier directly, and nothing is deducted from your refund for postage. You must obtain proof of postage and provide it to us through the return flow, and you should use a tracked service that includes compensation cover for loss.
5.3 You are responsible for the direct cost of returning the item, as set out above and on the listing before you bought.
6. Your refund
6.1 Your refund is the full price you paid for the item, plus the outbound delivery cost you paid (up to the cost of the least expensive delivery option offered), less any amounts properly deducted under clause 5.2(a) (return label) or clause 7 (diminished value).
6.2 We make the refund on the seller's behalf, to the same payment method you used, unless you expressly agree otherwise. We will not charge you a fee for the refund.
6.3 Timing. We will refund you without undue delay, and in any event no later than 14 days after the day the seller receives the item back or, if earlier, the day you provide evidence of having sent it back. Returns using a Reluv label are normally refunded as soon as the carrier confirms delivery back to the seller. Returns you post yourself are refunded within 14 days of your proof of postage at the latest, and often sooner. If you post the item yourself and do not provide proof of postage, your return stays open and we refund you within 14 days of the item reaching the seller.
6.4 Lost returns. Your refund is not affected by the item being lost on its way back, whichever postage option you chose, provided you have provided proof of postage. Where we refund you for a lost return that you posted yourself, you agree that any compensation payable by the postal operator or carrier for that loss is assigned to Reluv (or, where assignment is not possible, will be held by you for Reluv and promptly paid over), and you will give reasonable cooperation with the carrier claim. This never reduces or delays your refund.
7. Deductions for use, and returns that go wrong
7.1 You are entitled to examine a returned item as you could in a shop — for clothing, that includes trying it on. If the value of the item has been reduced by handling beyond that — for example, wearing it out, removing tags and using it, or damaging it — the seller may claim a deduction from your refund reflecting the reduction in value, up to the price you paid.
7.2 A deduction is only applied after: (a) the seller provides evidence; (b) you are shown that evidence and given an opportunity to respond; and (c) a Reluv reviewer decides the claim against the standard in clause 7.1. You may ask for the decision to be reviewed by a second, different reviewer. Nothing in this clause prevents you or the seller from pursuing the matter through alternative dispute resolution or the courts.
7.3 Returns that do not contain the item. If there is clear evidence that a returned parcel did not contain the item — for example, the seller's documented evidence on opening the parcel, or carrier records where available — we may pause the refund while we investigate, and we may recover amounts already refunded where a return is shown not to have contained the item. This applies only where we hold specific evidence relating to your return.
7.4 Deliberately returning something other than the item is fraud. We report it, and it will result in the closure of your account.
8. Faulty or misdescribed items
8.1 This Section is about changing your mind. If an item from a Business Seller is faulty, not as described, or not what you ordered, you have separate rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 — including, within 30 days, the right to reject it for a full refund — and the return postage is not yours to pay. Start a return and select “faulty or not as described”, and clauses 5.2(a) (label cost deduction) and 7 will not apply.
9. Your statutory rights
9.1 Nothing in these Terms reduces or replaces your rights under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, the Consumer Rights Act 2015, or any other law that cannot be excluded. If anything in these Terms conflicts with those rights, your statutory rights prevail.
Model cancellation form
You don't have to use this form. You can also cancel by pressing Start a return on your order, or by telling us in any other clear statement.
Complete and return this form only if you wish to cancel the contract.

17 —Bundles
17.1 What a bundle is. A bundle lets you buy between 2 and 10 items from the same seller in one order, sent as one parcel, at a discount the seller chooses. Bundles are available where a seller has turned them on and where we have made the feature available to you. Bundles are only available from private sellers, so a bundle is always a purchase from a private individual rather than from a business — see 17.7.
17.2 The discount is the seller's. The seller decides what discount applies at each bundle size. The saving shown for each item is measured against that seller's own listing price for that item at the moment you submit your bundle. Reluv does not set, fund or contribute to bundle discounts.
17.3 What you pay. Before you submit a bundle we show you a total. That total is the most you will pay. It covers the discounted price of the items, the Reluv Buyer Protection fee, and delivery.
We do not know how large or heavy a seller's items are until they pack them, so the seller confirms the parcel size after you submit. We show you the highest that delivery can be and include it in your total. When the seller confirms, we charge the actual total, which may be lower.
One Buyer Protection fee and one delivery charge apply to a bundle order, however many items it contains.
17.4 The hold. When you submit a bundle we place a hold on your card for the total in 17.3. A hold is not a payment. It reserves that amount with your bank so it cannot be spent elsewhere. We take payment only when the seller confirms the parcel, and we take only the final amount. Anything left over is released straight away, although your bank may take a few days to show it as available again.
Bundles are available only with payment methods that support this. We will tell you if the method you have chosen cannot be used.
17.5 Withdrawing. You can withdraw a bundle at any time until the seller confirms the parcel. Nothing is charged and the whole hold is released. Once the seller has confirmed, your order is placed.
17.6 If the seller declines or does not confirm. The seller has 48 hours to confirm the parcel, and may decline your bundle within that time without giving a reason. If they decline, do not respond in time, or one of the items sells elsewhere first, your bundle lapses. Nothing is charged and the whole hold is released, and you can still buy the items separately.
17.7 If something is wrong with your order. Buying from a private seller is not the same as buying from a business: there is no right to change your mind, and no right to send an item back simply because you no longer want it. What you have instead is Buyer Protection. If an item is not as the seller described it, tell us within 48 hours of delivery and we will look at it.
Tell us about everything that is wrong with the order at the same time. We deal with a bundle as a single case and resolve it once — see 17.9.
If your order has not reached you, the 48 hours do not apply. Tell us whenever you realise, and we will treat it as a delivery problem — including where our records show the parcel as delivered and you have not received it.
17.8 How we put it right, and how refunds are worked out. We will resolve your case in one of three ways: a refund, a partial refund where you keep the items, or a return and a refund. We will tell you which, and why.
Each item in a bundle carries a share of what you paid, in proportion to its listing price before the discount, and any refund for an individual item is worked out from that share. We do not recalculate the bundle discount — the discount on any items you keep stays as it was. Delivery and the Buyer Protection fee are refunded where the whole order is refunded.
17.9 One case for each order. We deal with a bundle order as a single case covering everything you have raised, and we resolve it once. Our decision is final so far as Buyer Protection is concerned. This does not affect your legal rights against the seller.
17.10 Turning bundles on. If you turn on bundles, you choose the discount that applies at each bundle size. Those discounts apply automatically to any qualifying bundle a buyer submits. You can change or switch off your discounts at any time, and the change applies to bundles submitted afterwards.
17.11 Confirming or declining. When a buyer submits a bundle you must, within 48 hours, either confirm which of our parcel sizes the packed bundle fits, or decline the bundle. Choose the size the packed parcel actually fits— we buy the postage on your behalf using what you tell us, and the sizes, their limits and their prices are shown to you when you choose.
You do not have to give a reason for declining. If you decline, or you do not respond in time, the sale does not go ahead, nothing is charged to the buyer, and their hold is released in full.
17.12 If the parcel is bigger than you confirmed. If the carrier charges us more because the parcel was larger or heavier than the size you confirmed, we will pass that charge on to you and take it from your payout. We will tell you the amount, what the carrier charged and why, and show you the carrier's charge if you ask, before we take it. You can dispute it with us, and we will not add anything of our own to it.
17.13 When you are paid. We release payment for a bundle order 2 working days after the buyer's 48-hour Buyer Protection window closes, or after any case about the order has been resolved, whichever is later.
