Learn the 3 reasons for getting product refund

Therefore today that your finally decided to purchase that product and can not 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. Wrong 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 false advertising by telling in the fine print that these results cannot be guaranteed. Thus always keep an eye on such statements and if you can not believe what's advertised then 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 Product outdated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I've seen products that were still advertised and happily took the money out of the customers' pockets but were totally outdated or did not work anymore.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 running, it even displayed the current date indicating 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 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 not able to take a refund despite some true and great reasons, 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 2 months).

It is always advised to clearly state the cause for your product refund and to keep a friendly 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 trying to use the product in an good way, maybe attach some screen shots, include suggestions what could be better, etc. The product creator might loose you as a customer but still can gain from your experience and will most of the time happily give you the refund.

Whatever you do, please be honest.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 market places (Clickbank, PayDotCom) tolerate two or even more gives back, but after that you may not be able to purchase anything again by certain company.
