Can I appeal a dispute ruling?
Trust & DisputesLast reviewed Oct 8, 2026
Yes. A ruling is not final until the appeal period passes: each dispute can be appealed once, within 72 hours of the ruling.
Write your appeal in 20 to 2000 characters and say what the review should look at: for example evidence that was missed. An appeal is a review of the decision. It never moves money by itself. The result is recorded as Upheld or Follow-up.
