3 Legitimate Reasons For Getting An Immediate Product Refund

So now that you've finally decided to purchase that product and cannot wait to test it out , you need to know that this is anything but what you expected. Don't worry about it, you still have a chance to get your money back with the following tips for getting an quick product refund.

1. False advertizement

"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 cannot be guaranteed. So always keep an eye on such statements and if you cannot believe what's advertised then 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 Product out-of-date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I've seen products that were still advertised and happily took the money out of the customers' pockets but were totally out-of-date or didn't work anymore.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 running, 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 closer to user as Windows (you got the joke, right?!), which can be frustrating if you want nothing more than use it immediately. For most complicated 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 of their tutorials and still cannot manahe to use the product, this to the creator and get your money back
If you've contacted the product creator and still were non able to take a refund despite some legitimate and great 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 advised to clearly state the reason for your product return and to keep a friendly communication style. Even if the product is not worth a single penny it doesn't make things easier when you insult the creator. Try to show that you've really trying to use the product in an good way, maybe tie some screenshots, include suggestions what could be better, etc. The product creator might loose you as a client but still can gain from your experience and will most of the time happily give you the refund.

Whatever you do, please be fair.Its not just right to purchase a product and you will request a refund to get your money back, but continue to use the product. Most marketplaces (Clickbank, PayDotCom) tolerate 2 or even more gives back, but after that you may not be able to purchase anything again by certaincompany.
