Withdrawing from a purchase within 14 days
Updated October 24, 2026
When this right exists
You have 14 days from physically receiving the item when you buy as a consumer from a professional seller, that is, from a Business account. Between private people it does not exist, and a business buyer does not have it either.
How to ask for it
On the order page, in the Withdraw from the purchase card, press Withdraw from the purchase. The sheet takes an optional reason. Send the request with Send withdrawal request, and the card shows the last date.
Timings
Colectin reviews the request, with a target of 2 business days. You have to send the piece back within 14 days of your request. With your own carrier the window starts with the buyer's confirmation or, without it, 7 days after dispatch.
While the return is live you cannot confirm the order.
Who pays for the return
The cost of the return is always yours.
With Colectin Shipping, the label's cost (its price plus your country's VAT) is deducted from your refund, at most up to the amount of the refund. If you return several pieces of the same lot, you pay at most the dearest label for that parcel.
With your own carrier, if the seller gives you the label or pays the postage, they can deduct it from your refund, with a receipt and at most up to the outbound shipping you paid, provided they tell you before you send the piece. On a meetup handover there is nothing to pay and no label.
What you get back
The refund covers the item price and the outbound shipping. The Colectin fee is not refunded on a withdrawal, because the service was already provided.
The seller has 48 hours from the piece arriving to claim diminished value, with up to 6 photos. After those 48 hours with no claim, the refund is paid automatically. A deduction for diminished value never exceeds the item price.
The label
A Colectin return label expires 14 days after it is generated, and you can regenerate it up to 2 times; after that, an admin.
If it is not accepted
Colectin can only refuse it for being out of time, because the seller is not professional, because the buyer is not a consumer, because the item is exempt or for another reason. See the exceptions in Right of withdrawal.
