These examples highlight how fairness, transparency and accountability guide every resolution.
How PurvX Buyer and Seller Protection Works
PurvX follows a structured approach for all claims involving Indian ethnic wear, whether it's related to fit, condition, authenticity or delivery. Every case is reviewed carefully, and decisions are based on verifiable evidence.

- Evidence-based decisions
- Neutral review of both sides
- Clear communication
- Protection against misrepresentation
- Accountability for repeat issues
Claims are never approved automatically. Each case is reviewed with the same level of scrutiny.

What Buyers and Sellers Must Do to Stay Protected
For Buyers
Buyers must report concerns within the required timelines and provide clear photos or videos that show the issue. This allows our team to verify whether the item received matches the listing details.
For Sellers
Sellers must:
- List accurate measurements
- Disclose all flaws
- Classify designer vs. non-designer items correctly
- Ship items securely
- Always provide a valid tracking number
Tracking protects sellers from claims such as “item not delivered” and gives buyers full visibility on shipping progress. It also provides verifiable proof of dispatch and delivery, which is essential in resolving delivery-related disputes.
These requirements minimise misunderstandings and ensure that disputes can be resolved quickly and fairly.
How PurvX Ensures Quality Before Items Are Even Listed
Before any outfit appears on PurvX, it goes through a review process designed to maintain quality and prevent avoidable disputes.
We do not allow unverified sellers to list items. Every seller must complete verification, and listings must meet a minimum standard before approval. This includes:
- Clear, unobstructed photos of the item
- Accurate measurements provided in the listing
- Honest disclosure of condition and flaws
- Correct categorization (designer, brand, unbranded)
- Items that are appropriate for resale (not excessively worn, damaged or extremely outdated)
Listings that do not meet these standards are not approved. This front-end quality control significantly reduces the chances of issues arising later on and helps buyers feel confident in what they are purchasing.
How PurvX Resolves Real Issues: Case Studies
The following scenarios show how PurvX handles claims while maintaining fairness for both buyers and sellers.
1. When Delivered Measurements Didn’t Match the Listing
A buyer received an outfit whose measurements differed significantly from the listing. Both parties provided measurement photos. After comparing them, PurvX confirmed the mismatch and facilitated a return. The resolution was completed once the item was safely received.
Why it matters: Accurate measurements are critical in Indian ethnic wear. Even small differences affect fit, especially with tailored garments.
2. When a High-Value Saree Had an Undisclosed Flaw
A premium saree arrived with a visible mark that had not been disclosed. PurvX reviewed close-up evidence, confirmed the flaw was missing from the listing and classified the case as misrepresentation. A return was arranged and the issue resolved.
Why it matters: Full condition disclosure allows buyers to make informed purchase decisions.
3. When an Item Listed as Designer Raised Authenticity Concerns
A buyer questioned the authenticity of an outfit listed as a designer piece. PurvX examined branding, labels, stitching and supporting evidence from both sides. The item did not meet typical designer markers. The buyer chose a resolution suitable to them, and the seller received a warning and was added to an internal watchlist.
Why it matters: Accurate classification protects marketplace integrity and prevents misleading listings.
Why You Should Always Keep Conversations on PurvX
Some individuals may try to move conversations off-platform to private messaging. This is a red flag and should be avoided.
A genuine buyer has no reason to leave PurvX, because doing so removes their own purchase protection.
Staying on-platform protects buyers through:
- Verified and secure payments
- Documented communication
- Evidence review
- Clear dispute timelines
- Refund processes that follow strict verification
It protects sellers through:
- Usable message records
- Proof of what was communicated
- Protection from unsupported claims
- A traceable timeline of the transaction
Off-platform communication cannot be reviewed or validated. Remaining on PurvX ensures both sides remain protected from the beginning to the end of the transaction.
How PurvX Protects Sellers from Unsupported or False Claims
While misrepresentation cases are taken seriously, PurvX also protects sellers. This includes:
- Rejecting claims without sufficient evidence
- Confirming that items match listing photos and descriptions
- Reviewing shipping records and timestamps
- Identifying behavioural patterns that indicate misuse
Sellers can trust that disputes are not resolved automatically in a buyer’s favour. All decisions rely on verifiable information.
