Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

- You were influenced by or relied on Shein's displayed discounts when making a purchase decision
- Specific date ranges and purchase thresholds have not yet been defined — eligibility details will be clarified as the case progresses
How Much Can You Get?
Because this lawsuit is still in the early complaint stage, no settlement amount or individual payout has been determined. No claim form exists yet, and no compensation is currently available. If and when a settlement is reached, payouts in false advertising cases like this one can vary widely — some shoppers receive a few dollars, while others may receive more depending on their total purchases and the final settlement terms.

What is the Shein fake discount lawsuit about?
The Shein false advertising lawsuit (Severino v. Shein) claims that Shein uses fake or inflated "original" prices to make their discounts appear larger than they really are. For example, an item might show a crossed-out price of $40 with a sale price of $10, when the item was never actually sold for $40. This type of deceptive pricing is sometimes called phantom pricing and may violate consumer protection laws.
Can I file a claim against Shein for fake discounts right now?
Not yet. The Severino v. Shein lawsuit was filed in May 2026 and is currently in the early complaint stage. No settlement has been reached, and there is no claim form available at this time. You'll need to wait until the case settles before you can file. Download Class Action Buddy to get notified when that happens.
Do I need proof of purchase to join the Shein lawsuit?
The proof requirements haven't been officially stated yet since the case hasn't settled. However, it's a good idea to hang onto any Shein order confirmations, receipts, or screenshots of discounted items in case they're needed when a claim form eventually opens up.
