Verified Merchant Appeals process

[simpleshapes]

Upon trying get Verified Merchant status I was told that my return and shipping policy were not clear.  I resubmitted edits to my wesbite and started an appeal (apparently the last one I had since they were not clear the first time as to why I was not approved).  While previously it was 24 hrs wait for a response, my account has been under appeal pending for the past 4 days.  Does anyone have any insight as to how long this typically takes?

TIA!

Hi @simpleshapes and welcome to the Community!

It usually takes 48h to get a response, but there may be a back log and take a bit longer than expected. 

I hope you are able to solve this, let me know if I can help you with anything else!

So which category should I choose? I tried Appeal a policy violation removal but it asked me about a reason and none of them apply. Maybe I tried the wrong path all together.
