Should you build this?

YES, if
  • You've handled chargeback disputes yourself and know what evidence wins
  • You can integrate with Shopify, Stripe, eBay dispute APIs
  • You're OK competing with Chargebacks911 + Justt
THINK TWICE
  • Chargebacks911 + Justt + Kount dominate enterprise dispute management
  • Small-merchant willingness-to-pay is low until they hit a big dispute
  • Bank-level success rate <50% even for pros — managing expectations is hard

I want to build a tool for: eBay sellers facing buyer chargebacks after legitimate shipment (signal#2, 5 upvotes); Shopify merchant whose buyer charged back after written 'keep it + full refund' agreement (signal#1, 14 upvotes); 7-day eBay restriction for false counterfeit flag (signal#5, 7 upvotes)

Existing alternatives: none clearly identified yet — opportunity for a first-mover

Help me draft an MVP technical plan:

3. Tech stack recommendation (favor fast-to-ship options)
4. First 3 things to build this weekend
5. What NOT to build in v1 (scope discipline)
