If you know you know
If you know you know, around 12,000 held for no reason after a random account shut down after using them for about a week during the Christmas season. I needed to process refunds since my funds were being held for 3 months and we couldn’t afford to ship the products and wait that long for the funds back. My ability to process refunds was taken away and I was told by Chelsea bejines to just tell the customers to open chargebacks, keep in mind these were Christmas gifts and im assuming people would want their funds back quick so they could purchase elsewhere. On top of it this got me on the match list due to all the chargebacks. After countless emails and the cold shoulder I reached out to the consumer finance protection agency and they worked it out. Elavon agreed and refunded us all the chargeback fees and removed us from the match list. The relationships destroyed and the revenue lost during the busiest time of the year was absolutely devastating and priceless. Corporate or higher level employees made it happen but the low level workers are not helpful nor friendly. They have an “oh well it’s not my problem” attitude. Elavon will make a huge mistake if they allow Mrs Bejines to continue working for them. If you want to take the risk of ruining your business and reputation then by all means, if you’re desperate, open a merchant account with them. It isn’t worth it in my opinion. It’s not almost march. I’m still waiting on my 12,000 but I’m off the match list and I got $950 in chargeback fees credited
