Without ever understanding why and without gumroad being able to explain it to me, my transaction was considered fraudulent, my account was blocked, and I was never able to recover the amount of my sale. Gumroad told me my client will be refunded. But nothing was happening. Afraid that gumroad would keep everything, I had to fight by sending several emails for my client to be refunded. Then I had to fight with my client to get him to agree to make me a transfer again (without going through gumroad this time, let's do it right), even though my service had been delivered for several weeks. In short, horrible experience with gumroad. If you want to do good business, do not use gumroad. In addition, Gumroad applies significant fees to both the seller and the buyer. What a bad joke!

We detail our fraud/suspension procedures here for all to see: 1) https://help.gumroad.com/article/161-what-gumroad-considers-fraud 2) https://help.gumroad.com/article/160-suspension And our fees are actually *quite* reasonable considering the services that compliant businesses receive: https://help.gumroad.com/article/66-gumroads-fees

If GumRoad/Steve is involved, DON'T PAY. It's probably a bad product to begin with if they use Gumroad because they are utterly unreliable. Flume uses them for their payments, and the app has never worked. So I wanted a refund and after spending so much time chasing them with barely any response, they said they can't do the refund because it's past the six month window, which was never advertised in Flume nor Gumroad's website. It's as if they wanted me to wait on purpose. Stay clear!

I'm sorry that you feel we don't care about our creator's customers. I assure you, we issue lots and lots of refunds on behalf of creators. Our policies on refunds have not changed since 2011, and can be found here: https://customers.gumroad.com/article/190-how-do-i-get-a-refund and www.gumroad.com/terms We did not want Joy to wait on purpose. Joy was asking for a refund *more than 2 years* after her initial purchase, which neither we nor our credit card processor can honor.

My account was suspended for no reason and now all money I got in the balance will be refunded to my customers which I spent money and time for them. When I sent email to Gumroad support, all they can do is send an automated response that basically translate as: "We don't care about you, all money will be refunded to your customers, now go found an alternative! Totally a joke.

Stay away. I thought Gumroad would be great way to pay influencers on Instagram and FB with a CC for marketing posts. The advice they gave me was "stop paying people for this stuff". It is clear from the answer from their support team that this is not a company that prioritizes customers. All I did was ask that I had some reason to believe a transaction I made could be not valid given the person I paid was not replying. Their answer was the least professional one I've seen in a while. Someone in their customer support team is really bitter about something, and is taking it on their customers. Happy to provide a screenshot with proof of their interaction with me if any potential customer is thinking on doing business with this company.

I apologize for the tone taken in the response you received, but you were paying for fraudulent products on Gumroad that not only violated our TOS but were made to accounts that were attempting to use stolen credit cards to launder money on our site. All of your money was refunded to you, which would seem to be in your best interest? Long story short, if your card is used on Gumroad to pay for fraudulent sales, we will refund you. So, if you intend to spend money on fraudulent products then yes, please stay away, because we will refund you.

Worst platform ever don't work with Gumroad. I joined gumroad few months back. I have 3 products in my store. Last month one product make 1sale and this month same product make 2 sale. Product cost is $20 so total i earned $60. Excluding gumroad. Charges my account balance is $52. 10 days back one sale is refunded on next day my account was suspended. Then i mail the gumroad on next day they reply that was saying i'm doing fraud. Again i mail them and said that my products or complete genuine and not illigal and also i'm not doing any thing fraud and also I ask them if they need any proofs for my genuinity i will send them. But they don't reply anything. Next day my balance is $0.for this they said they send my amount to customers. This is the whole situation happened Now i have few doubts 1. Are they really check my product? 2. How An unknow person can decide my business? 3. They send balance amount to remaining customers but i lose 3 products what about that? 4. Why they send my balance amount to customers without my permission? 5. Is this refunds are real? 6. If they problem with our genuineness then why don't they ask us for proofs for our genuineness. Yesterday i contact one of my customer through mail and ask him about refund he said he didn't get any money Then where is my money 🤔 And also ask him about product he said it was good. Gumroad take all our money with silly and nasty reasons. Once they get the money they don't respond for our mails.

I'm sorry that you feel you were mistreated by us and your business was unfairly targeted. We publicly address our risk review process here: https://help.gumroad.com/article/13-getting-paid We publicly address our policies regarding fraud and risk here: https://help.gumroad.com/article/161-what-gumroad-considers-fraud And we publicly address our policies regarding suspension here: https://help.gumroad.com/article/160-suspension If your customer claims that they didn't receive their money, that's because refunds can sometimes take 5-7 days to show up on a customer's credit card statement. Many of the reviews of us on Trustpilot and elsewhere (almost all from users whose accounts were suspended) claim that we "keep" the money we "claim" to refund to customers. That is patently untrue, and you'll note none of these reviews ever offer proof of this. If we did keep people's money, we would have been kicked off of Stripe and PayPal a long time ago. It would seem that accusing us of theft seems to bring some kind of moral weight to a reviewer's account of our supposed malfeasance. We do not profit off of suspending accounts. We refund 100% of the sales money from suspended accounts.

Such a bad experience. When I look at companies like Squarepace or Amazon that provide such an amazing customer support and here, it is so different. My advice ? Go for another solution. Usually, I never leave a negative comment. Never. I never dislike even a youtube video ! This is the first time in my life that I am posting one. For your own serenity go for another solution.
