Product refund reasons

So now that you've finally decided to buy that product and can't wait to try it out , you have to find out that it does anything else but what you've expected. Don't worry, you still have a chance to get your money back with the following tips for obtaining a product refund instantly.

1. False advertising

"Get 10.000 hits to tour site in a whole day". Such tempting promises might sure make you wanna flip out your credit card immediately. But when you practice the methods or use the software and have to find out that those 10.000 hits might really result in 10, then this is a legitimate reason for requesting a refund. Unfortunately it's not always that easy. Many vendors get around such wrong advertising by telling in the fine print that these results can not be guaranteed. So always watch such statement and if you do not believe what is advertised in a search for product reviews using your favorite search engine

2. Product out-of-date

Believe it or not, but I've seen products that were still advertised and happily took the money out of the customers' pockets but were totally outdated or didn't work anymore. I once bought a product that could not be downloaded any longer but still had the sales page up and working, it even displayed the current date indicating the end of a special advancement. Every try to contact the creator of the software failed and after I read in a forum that I wasn't the only one not being able to download the software,I contacted the credit card processing company and got my money back.


3. Usability

Not every software is very user friendly as Windows (you got the joke, right?!), which can be frustrating if you want nothing more than use it immediately. For most complex software products there exist written tutorials that exactly describe how to use them and sometimes even video tutorials that make the product handling had rather easier. If you've read and watched all tutorials and still cannot manage to use the product, then state this to the creator and you should get that refund.
If you've contacted the product creator and still were non able to get a refund despite some legitimate and acceptable reasons, not all hope is gone. Most market places offer a refund guarantee for products that were sold through them (e. g. Clickbank offers its customers a general refund policy of 8 weeks after the product purchase, for a vendor like PayDotCom you have to contact the credit card processor like Paypal which has a refund policy of 60 days).

It is always suggested to clearly state the cause for your product return and to keep a social communication style. Even if the product is not worth a single penny it doesn't make things better when you insult the creator. Try to show that you've really tried to use the product in an efficient way, maybe attach some screenshots, include suggestions what could be better, etc. The product creator might drooping you as a customer but still can benefit from your experience and will almost of the time happily give you the refund.

Whatever you do, please be honest. It's just not right to purchase a product which you badly want and then request a refund to take your money back but still continue to use the product. Most market places (Clickbank, PayDotCom) tolerate 2 or even more gives back, but after that you may not be able to purchase anything again by certaincompany.
