Assess defective services, refunds and compensation arising from a consumer transaction in Turkey, including purchases made from abroad.
Next steps
Begin by identifying the actual seller or service provider, not only the booking platform or advertising name. Record what was promised, what was delivered and when the problem became apparent. A purchase for personal use can follow a different route from a commercial transaction. The value and nature of the dispute affect the competent body.
Possible remedies can include correction, replacement, reduction of price, refund or damages, depending on the legal basis. A consumer arbitration committee and a consumer court do not have interchangeable roles. Check the current monetary threshold and any mediation requirement instead of relying on an old figure. Preserve the complaint and the provider’s response.
