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!

I tried emailing and within a few hours my account was approved!  Thank you!

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.

I am in the same boat now for the same issue and I made the recommendations to the policy ensuring it was clear and visible but still was denied and was out of appeals.  Not sure what the expectations are if you've followed the guidelines and made the adjustments.

Thank you so much for this link!  I am having an appeal issue myself.  Has anyone been told they have a broken website link when they do not?  I am terrified of using up my final appeal, so I hope that this customer service link can help me resolve this.
