Buyer protection
Last updated: 20 July 2026
Every eligible order on Mnadani is backed by our buyer-protection promise: if the item never arrives, arrives broken, or is not what the seller advertised, we get your money back.
1. The promise
2. What is covered

- Seller cancels after payment without a valid reason.
3. What isn't covered
- Change of mind, if the seller's return policy doesn't allow it.
- Damage caused after safe delivery.

Frequently asked questions
- What does Mnadani buyer protection cover?
- Items that never arrive, arrive damaged, are the wrong item, or are materially not as described in the listing. Cover applies to orders paid through Mnadani checkout.
- How long do I have to report a problem?
- 3 days from delivery, or from the promised delivery date if the parcel never arrived. Reporting within 24 hours gives the strongest evidence trail.
- What evidence should I submit with a claim?
- Clear photos and a short video of the sealed parcel and the item, screenshots of the original listing, and your chat with the seller. Unedited media taken on delivery day carries the most weight.
- Does buyer protection cover change of mind?
- No. Change-of-mind returns follow the seller's return policy shown on the listing. Buyer protection covers items that are missing, damaged, wrong, or not as described.
- How quickly are claims resolved?
- The seller has 48 hours to respond, and Mnadani decides within 5 working days of escalation. Approved refunds are returned to your original payment method.
