Quick answer
All purchases on the site are backed by our Reverb Buyer Protection. If anything arrives damaged or not as described, contact the seller or Reverb within 7 days of delivery with photos and/or videos of the issues. We always recommend contacting the seller first, as the majority of issues are resolved between buyers and sellers.
If anything arrives damaged or not as described, follow the steps below:
- Gather photos and videos of any issues once they are encountered and message the seller on Reverb with that information. ᐧ If the item arrived damaged, hold on to any packaging materials and the box it arrived in. ᐧ Do not attempt to make any further modifications as this will waive your buyer protection.
- Request a refund on the order.
- 🕑 Allow the seller 24 hours to respond to this request.
- Once approved, ship the item back to the seller (unless a partial refund or other arrangements were discussed). Once the item is back in the seller's possession, your refund should be initiated in 48 hours.
For purchases that arrive as-described or a refund is requested after the 7 day window expires, the seller’s individual return policy determines your eligibility for a refund. It is always a good idea to check out the Payments & Returns section on any listing to see the seller's individual policies.

Did you purchase an item and it never shipped?
After you complete a purchase, Reverb allows sellers 3 business days to add tracking information to their orders. If it is past the 3 business days, we recommend contacting the seller for a status update. In the event the seller remains unresponsive, you can contact Reverb Support to assist.
