After initial review of your dispute rebuttal, your customer can choose to continue to dispute the transaction. Visa and Mastercard call this a Pre-Arbitration. Discover calls this a second dispute.
You will receive an email notification of this and if you choose to rebut the dispute again, you must accept the responsibility of any possible fees or fines if you lose.
If you continue with the rebuttal, the dispute goes into arbitration and will be visible in the Under Review filter.
