Paul's Story:

Hi,

I bought a piece of software from digital rivers of the internet. I thought I was quite safe when the seller said money back guarantee if your not completely satisfied. I paid for the software using paypal and after trying it I wasn't satisfied. Digital rivers said no problem, stop using the software for 10 days, and we will refund you, So I deleted all the software which I had purchased. After 16 days I started to email Digital rivers I emailed them approx 6 times with no response, So the only thing I could do was to put a dispute claim to paypal.

Once I had done this they responded, "please send us the order number because we cant find any of your details.". I sent all the confirmation emails of purchase and order numbers."We will gladly refund you but we cant find your details." they said. I said I will give you 1 week. No reply. The only next step I could take was to escalate the claim so paypal could sort it out. This had been going on since the 1st Dec, After taking the claim 1 step further with paypal, Paypal decided the outcome in 10 mins that I shouldn't receive a refund and the case could not be reversed.

They didn't even ask for any details or receipts I might have. I am now down £23 pound and consider twice about using pay pal again.
