3 Legitimate Reasons For Getting An Immediate Product Refund

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

1. Wrong advertising

"Get 10.000 hits to your website in 24 hours". This such attractive 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 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 Product outdated

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I've seen products that were still advertised and happily took the money out of the customers' pockets but were totally outdated or did not work anymore. I once bought a product that could not be downloaded anymore but still had the sales page up and working, it even displayed the current date pointing the end of a special promotion. Every attempt 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 as user-friendly 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 perfecly describe how to use them and sometimes even video tutorials that make the product handling even 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 reached the product creator and still were non able to take a refund despite some true and good causes, 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 seller like PayDotCom you have to contact the credit card processor like Paypal which has a refund policy of 2 months).

It is always advised 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 easier 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 loose you as a client but still can benefit from your experience and will most of the time happily give you the refund.

Whatever you do, please be honest. It's just not good to purchase a product which you badly need and then asking a refund to take your money back but still continue to use the product. Most market places (Clickbank, PayDotCom) tolerate two or even more gives back, but after that you might not be able to purchase anything again through the specific company.
