Check your dispute first

Answer a few questions to see your options before writing your complaint.

Check your options

Cross-border online purchases can be clear on facts but tricky on route. Irish small claims usually depends on the parties and location, so seller identity and country matter.

Check the seller's location, delivery and return terms, payment record and any customs charges. The website address alone may not tell you where the seller is based.

What to do next

  1. 1Identify the legal seller, country, terms, payment descriptor, and platform role.
  2. 2Collect order confirmation, website terms, delivery tracking, screenshots, support messages, and payment proof.
  3. 3Check retailer support, ECC Ireland, chargeback, platform dispute routes, and small-claims practicality.

Common UK/EU website complaint searches

Common searches include UK website refund, EU seller not responding, return address abroad, customs charge, parcel not delivered, marketplace seller dispute, and card chargeback after online order.
