Lead Coin Return Policy

Lead Coin Return Policy

At Selyst, we know that not every lead goes according to plan. While we work hard to ensure only high-quality leads are shared with sellers, mistakes can happen.

Our Coin Return Policy outlines:

  • When you're eligible to request a coin return
  • How to raise a return request
  • Why some requests may be declined

Eligible Reasons for Coin Return

You can request a coin return if:

  • The contact number or email is invalid or unreachable
  • The buyer did not request the service shown in the lead
  • The buyer clearly stated the request was a mistake or they are not looking to hire
  • The lead is a duplicate of one you’ve already paid for
  • The job was cancelled before any communication could happen

How to Request a Return

  • Coin return requests must be submitted within 14 days of purchasing the lead.
  • Email your request to support@selyst.com
  • Briefly explain the issue and attach any proof, such as screenshots or call logs, if available.

Our team reviews every request and aims to respond within 48 hours.

Why Your Coin Return Request Might Be Declined

We may not approve your request if:

  • The lead passed all of Selyst’s standard quality checks
  • You made contact but didn’t convert the project
  • You responded late, and the buyer hired someone else
  • The buyer was reachable, even if they didn’t respond
  • You raised the request after the 14-day window

Final Note

All coin returns are handled at Selyst’s sole discretion as specified in the Seller Terms.

Misuse of the coin return system may result in limits on future return eligibility.


Frequently Asked Questions

The buyer is not answering my calls or messages. Can I get my coins back?

Not necessarily.

A buyer not responding does not automatically make the lead eligible for a coin return.

If the buyer's contact details are valid and the lead has passed Selyst's standard quality checks, a return may be declined even if the buyer does not answer your calls or respond to messages.

Before raising a request, we recommend making reasonable follow-up attempts, including:

  • Calling at different times of the day
  • Sending a WhatsApp message
  • Trying more than once over a few days

A buyer may be busy, may not answer unknown numbers, may already be speaking with another professional, or may have delayed their requirement.

If you believe there is an actual problem with the contact information or the request itself, explain the issue clearly when submitting your return request.

How can a lead be genuine if the buyer does not respond?

A genuine lead and a responsive buyer are not necessarily the same thing.

Before a lead is made available, buyers go through a structured request process. Depending on the category, this can include:

  • Selecting the service they need
  • Answering category-specific questions
  • Providing details about their requirement
  • Providing contact information
  • Completing verification checks where applicable

Selyst uses this information and its quality checks to assess the request before making it available to sellers.

However, after submitting a genuine requirement, a buyer may still decide not to respond to every professional who contacts them.

For this reason, non-response alone does not automatically qualify a lead for a coin return.

What if the phone number or email is invalid?

You can raise a coin return request if the contact number or email is invalid or unreachable.

Please report the issue within 14 days of purchasing the lead and include any supporting information you have.

For example, you can share:

  • Screenshots
  • Call logs
  • Delivery failure messages
  • Other information that helps us understand the issue

Our team will review the lead and the information provided.

What if the buyer says they never requested the service?

Please raise a coin return request.

If the buyer confirms that they did not request the service shown in the lead, this is an eligible reason to ask us to review the lead for a coin return.

Where possible, include any message or other evidence from the buyer confirming this.

What if the buyer says they submitted the request by mistake?

You can request a coin return if the buyer clearly tells you that:

  • The request was submitted by mistake, or
  • They were not actually looking to hire a professional

Please include details of the conversation or supporting evidence where available.

What if the person is looking for a job instead of looking to hire?

This can be raised for review.

For example, if somebody submits a request under a professional service category but later confirms that they are actually looking for employment rather than looking to hire the service, you can submit a coin return request.

Explain the issue clearly and include supporting information where available.

What if I purchase the same lead twice?

If you have been charged for a duplicate of a lead you have already purchased, you can request a coin return for the duplicate purchase.

When contacting support, provide enough information for us to identify both purchases.

What if the buyer cancelled the requirement?

You can request a return if the job was cancelled before any communication could happen.

If communication with the buyer had already taken place before the cancellation, the return request may not qualify under this reason.

Our support team will review the circumstances of the request.

I spoke with the buyer, but they did not hire me. Can I get my coins back?

Generally, no.

If contact was successfully made but the project did not convert into business, this is not by itself a reason for a coin return.

The final outcome can depend on factors such as:

  • Your pricing
  • Your service offering
  • How well your business fits the requirement
  • Your communication
  • Your experience and portfolio
  • Competition from other professionals
  • The buyer's preferences
  • Your follow-up process

Selyst provides access to the business opportunity. It does not guarantee that every purchased lead will become a confirmed booking or sale.

The buyer hired another professional. Can I request a return?

Not simply because another professional was hired.

Buyers are free to compare available options and decide whom they want to work with.

If you responded late and the buyer had already hired another professional, your coin return request may be declined.

What if the buyer hired someone outside Selyst?

The buyer is free to hire a professional through Selyst or through another source.

A buyer choosing someone outside Selyst does not by itself make the lead invalid or eligible for a coin return.

Coins are used to access the business opportunity and the buyer's requirement. They do not guarantee that the eventual transaction will take place through Selyst.

The buyer's contact details are valid but they won't reply. Is that refundable?

A return may be declined where the buyer is reachable and the contact details are valid, even if they do not respond to your attempts to contact them.

Selyst distinguishes between a problem with the lead itself and buyer behaviour after a valid request has been submitted.

If there is another specific issue with the lead, explain it when raising your request so that the team can review it.

Why does Selyst not return coins whenever a buyer does not respond?

Selyst's role is to generate and structure service requirements and apply its standard quality checks before making leads available to professionals.

Once the lead has been purchased, Selyst cannot fully control:

  • Whether the buyer answers every call
  • How quickly they respond
  • Which professional they choose to speak with
  • Whether they change their mind
  • Whether they ultimately hire

This is why a non-responsive buyer is not automatically treated as an invalid lead.

Does Selyst guarantee that every buyer will respond?

No.

Selyst works to improve the quality and usefulness of the opportunities available to sellers, but buyer response cannot be guaranteed.

Professionals should make reasonable attempts to connect using appropriate channels and at different times.

Does Selyst guarantee that purchased leads will convert into business?

No.

Selyst is a lead generation services marketplace, not a guaranteed booking or sales platform.

Purchasing a lead gives you access to a potential business opportunity. Final conversion depends on the buyer's decision as well as the professional's sales and follow-up process.

What if I contacted the buyer late?

Speed matters when working with leads.

Buyers may be actively speaking with other professionals soon after submitting their request. If you respond late and the buyer has already hired someone else, a coin return request may be declined.

We therefore recommend contacting relevant leads as quickly as practical after purchasing them.

How long do I have to request a coin return?

Coin return requests must be submitted within 14 days of purchasing the lead.

Requests raised after the 14-day window may be declined.

What information should I include in my request?

Email support@selyst.com and briefly explain what went wrong with the lead.

Where available, include supporting evidence such as:

  • Screenshots of conversations
  • Call logs
  • Messages from the buyer
  • Email delivery errors
  • Any other information that helps explain the issue

Providing clear information can help our team review the request.

How long does Selyst take to review a request?

Our team reviews every request and aims to respond within 48 hours.

Some cases may require us to review the lead information and the evidence provided before making a decision.

Is every eligible request automatically approved?

No.

All coin returns are handled at Selyst's sole discretion, in accordance with the Seller Terms.

The Coin Return Policy explains the circumstances under which you may request a return, but the request still needs to be reviewed by Selyst.

What happens if the coin return system is misused?

The return process is intended to address genuine issues with purchased leads.

Misuse of the system may result in limits being placed on future coin return eligibility.
