5 min read Action Guide

A methodical, well-documented approach gives quality disputes the best chance of fair resolution.

How To Approach This

  1. Document the discrepancy between the listing/catalog description and the actual received material immediately upon receipt, with photographs and specific details.
  2. Raise the dispute formally and promptly through MSTC's grievance process, referencing the specific auction, listing details, and your documented evidence.
  3. Be factual and specific in your dispute submission, focusing on concrete, verifiable discrepancies rather than general dissatisfaction.
  4. Follow up within a reasonable timeframe if you haven't received a response, keeping records of your submission throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does timing matter for raising a quality dispute?

Yes, prompt reporting upon receipt strengthens your position considerably compared to a delayed complaint.

What if I skipped pre-bid inspection when it was available?

This can weaken your position somewhat, since you had the opportunity to verify the material beforehand — it's still worth raising a genuine, well-documented discrepancy regardless.
