Ask HN: Have you noticed an increase in the number of Stripe Disputes lately?

I work on a SaaS app in France. In the past few days we noticed an enormous increase of disputes in our Stripe account, all of them are linked to SEPA payment method (wire).

We used to have 1 every month of so, now we have had around 7 in 2 days.

[EDIT] - I received an email from Stripe a few minutes after I submitted this post on HN. It seems there has been an issue with the management of SEPA payments between end of september and start of october.

[EDIT 2] - I actually received the email before submitting this post, I just did not notice it ;)

OT: Disputes are a farce. I supply USPS tracking for all disputes and they are always ruled in favour of the customer.

I'm curious about your experience as I had a similar impression before dealing with disputes on a large scale, but since actually fighting them with detailed evidence have won ~80% of them. This is true of order not received, claiming the entire transaction was fraudulent etc. With that being said my business is a digital service so that may be the reason for our different experiences.

What kind of dispute claims do most of your customers make, and what kind of evidence do you provide besides USPS tracking?
