Pixlmob's unique dispute process empowers customers to confidently place orders, knowing they are fully protected in the event of a disappointing result.

Before disputing a project, it is always best to try to resolve the issue with the vendor. Requesting Revisions is an opportunity to not only provide valuable feedback to a vendor looking to improve his skills and earn your business, it also spares you from the hassle of ordering the same media from another vendor. You can learn more about requesting revisions here.

1. To initiate a dispute, click on the service menu within your project. You can access this menu from 2 places:

  • By clicking the menu icon (3 dots) on the far right end of the service within your project

  • By clicking on this same menu icon within the service details page

2. Once this menu open, click "Submit Dispute." You'll then need to read and agree to the provided message to continue with your dispute:

  • Unresponsive Vendor: Vendor never responded to or completed the order.

Important Notes:

  • Disputes are typically reviewed by Pixlmob admin within 1 business day.

  • The vendor is immediately notified of your dispute but does not see the reason for your dispute, which is only visible to the Pixlmob team.

  • We do not guarantee the dispute will be resolved in your favor. However, we make every effort to resolve the issue fairly.

  • If a refund is due as a result of your dispute, it will be automatically posted to your Pixlmob balance once the dispute is resolved. Review Pixmob's refund policy here.

  • You will not be able to leave a review for a vendor until the dispute has been resolved.

FAQs:

Can I withdraw a dispute if the vendor and I are able to work it out?

Yes! You can withdraw a dispute by accessing the same menu where you initiated the dispute and selecting "Withdraw Dispute."

How does a dispute impact the vendor?

  • If Pixlmob resolves the dispute in your favor, the vendor is not paid for the order at all.

  • In some cases, Pixlmob will split the total paid for the order and issue a partial refund as well as a partial payment to the vendor.

  • Disputes are monitored and logged by Pixlmob and any vendor with repeat infractions or consistent issues could be suspended, fined, or banned from the platform.

Is a refund always issued?

Each dispute is reviewed on a case-by-case basis and we will issue a refund to your Pixlmob balance when appropriate.

If I dispute a project, can I then transfer it to a different vendor?

Unfortunately, projects cannot be transferred from one vendor to another. However, you can duplicate a project and quickly reorder it from a different vendor.

Do I have to wait for my refund before I order from another vendor?

No, you can place an order from another vendor anytime. However, any refunds will not be available in your Pixlmob balance until the dispute is reviewed and resolved so you will likely have to add funds to your Pixlmob balance in the interim.

What should I do if a vendor disputes my project?

  • There are several reasons why a vendor might dispute your project and the vendor should have notified you of such.

  • If you're able to resolve the issue with the vendor, he can withdraw the dispute and complete the project.

  • Otherwise, you should assume the vendor is no longer working on your project, it will not be completed, and you should order from another vendor.

I ordered the wrong quantity of images. Can I get a partial refund?

    • Request Revisions

    • Dispute the project

    • Accept the delivered work

  • After 3 days, if none of the above actions are taken, the project will be automatically accepted and the status will be updated to Completed.
