Learn the 3 reasons for getting product refund

So now that you've finally decided to purchase 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 about it, you still have a chance to get your money back with the following tips for obtaining a product refund instantly.

1. False advertizement

"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 false advertising by stating in the fine print that these results can not be guaranteed. 

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 Product out-of-date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I've seen products that were still advertised and happily took the money out of the customers' pockets but were totally outdated or didn't work anymore.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 anymore but still had the sales page up and running, it even displayed the latest date indicating the end of a special promotion. 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 perfecly 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 take a refund despite some true and good causes, not all hope is gone. Most marketplaces 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 reason for your product refund 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 trying to use the product in an good way, maybe attach some screenshots, include suggestions what could be better, etc. The product creator might drooping 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. 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 refunds, but after that you may not be able to purchase anything again by certaincompany.
