Interference occurs when a member intentionally interferes with another member’s shop in order to drive away their business. Interference is strictly prohibited on Guyra. Examples of interference include:

1. Contacting another member via Guyra Messages to warn them away from a particular member, shop, or item;

2. Posting in public areas to demonstrate or discuss a dispute with another member;

3. Purchasing from a seller for the sole purpose of leaving a negative review;

Harassment

Any use of Guyra Messages to harass other members is strictly prohibited. Similarly, Messages may not be used to support or glorify hatred or otherwise violate our Anti-Discrimination Policy. If you receive a Message that violates this policy, please let us know right away.

Reviews are a great way to learn about a seller’s items, help good sellers build a strong reputation, or help warn other buyers about a poor experience.

You can leave a review, including a one to five star rating and a photograph of your purchase, for 100 days after your item’s estimated delivery date. If an estimated delivery date is not available, the review window opens after the order’s processing time and shipping time have elapsed. You can edit your review, including the photograph, any number of times during that 100 day period. Your review and/or photograph and profile information will be publicly displayed on the seller's listing and review pages.

1. Contain private information;

By leaving a review or photograph, you acknowledge that your content may not:

We reserve the right to remove reviews or photographs that violate our policies or Terms of Use.

As a member of Guyra, you have the opportunity to create and upload a variety of content, like Messages, text, photos, and videos. In order to keep our community safe and respectful, you agree that you will not upload content that is:

Although Guyra is not directly involved in a transaction between a buyer and a seller, we provide a case system in the unlikely event that your order does not go as expected. By using Guyra’s case system, you understand that Guyra may use your personal information for the purpose of resolving disputes with other members. You can use Guyra’s case system to come to a resolution with the seller in the event of a non-delivery or if an item you receive is not as described in the listing. (Click here to learn more about cases, including your eligibility for opening a case, and how to escalate a case to Guyra.) If you choose a refund as your preferred resolution, keep in mind that Guyra only allows on-platform refunds for a period of 180 days post-transaction. After this 180 window has elapsed, Guyra cannot support on-platform refunds for your order. However, you may still communicate directly with the seller to come to an off-platform resolution. Refunds issued by Guyra will be in your original form of payment, and if such payment is not available, an Guyra credit will be issued.

Non-Delivery

A non-delivery occurs when a buyer places an order but does not receive the item. The following are examples of non-delivery cases:

Guyra’s Case System

1. There is no proof that the item was shipped to the buyer.

2. An item was not sent to the address provided on Guyra.

Not as Described

1. The item received is a different color, model, version, or size.

2. The item received is a different color, model, version, or size.

3. The seller failed to disclose that an item is damaged or is missing parts.

4. The buyer received the incorrect quantity of items (e.g., the buyer purchased three items but only received two).

5. The item was advertised as authentic but is not authentic.

Not as described cases can also be filed for late delivery. In order to qualify as late delivery, the buyer must provide proof that all of these conditions have been met:

1. The item(s) were ordered for a specific date or event.

2. The item received is a different color, model, version, or size.

2. The item received is a different color, model, version, or size.

3. The seller did not ship the item(s) according to their processing time or the date agreed upon in Messages.

If Guyra determines that an item is not as described, the seller will be required to refund the order, including original shipping and return shipping. In the event that Guyra needs to refund the return shipping cost on behalf of the seller, that refund may come in the form of an Guyra Credit.

Ineligible Transactions

Some disputes don’t qualify for Guyra’s case system. These include:

1. Items that are damaged by shipping carrier (if properly packaged by the seller).

2. Items that have been altered, used, worn, washed, or discarded after receipt.

3. Items that are received after the agreed-upon delivery date due to shipping delays.

Each seller has his or her own return policies, which should be outlined in their Shop Policies. Not all sellers accept returns. If you reside in the European Union, you may be entitled to a 14-day “cooling off period,” or a “right of withdrawal,” during which you may return an item for any reason. Read more about the EU right of withdrawal in this Help article.
