The evidence packet is what wins a dispute. Here is what goes into a strong one.

Evidence tells the story

A strong evidence packet tells a clear story: the customer ordered, you delivered, and here is the proof. The more completely and clearly you can show that, the harder it is for a dispute to succeed against you.

Include the essentials

The core of any packet is the order details, proof of delivery or fulfillment, and the communication with the customer. Together these show a legitimate transaction that was completed as agreed.

Organize for the reviewer

A reviewer decides quickly, so evidence organized the way they expect, clear and to the point, is far more persuasive than a jumble of screenshots. Presentation matters as much as content.

Match the reason

A dispute has a reason, and the strongest packet directly answers it. Tailoring your evidence to the specific claim, rather than submitting a generic bundle, is what turns a good packet into a winning one.
