Immediate Product refund reasons

Therefore today that your finally decided to purchase that product and can not wait to try it out, you need to know that this is anything but what you 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. False advertizement

"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 apply 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 can not 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 Product outdated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I've seen products that were advertised and still happily took the money out of the customers' pockets but were totally outdated or did not work anymore.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 any longer but still had the sales page up and running, it even displayed the latest 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 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 complex software products there exist written tutorials that exactly 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 get a refund despite some legitimate and acceptable 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 suggested to clearly state the reason for your product return and to keep a social 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 tried to use the product in an efficient way, maybe attach some screenshots, include suggestions what could be better, etc. The product creator might loose you as a customer but still can benefit 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 request a refund to take your money back but still continue to use the product. Most marketplaces (Clickbank, PayDotCom) tolerate two or even more gives back, but after that you may not be able to purchase anything again by certaincompany.

Why Every Site Needs RSS

Why Every Site Needs RSS





By Andrew J. Morris





RSS or 'Really Simple Syndication' is not just for Blogs and


News sites. Every website can benefit from this newly popular


technology. The term 'syndication' is what throws a lot of


people off the track. Syndication is like news articles, isn't


it?





Well it can be. But think of it like this. If you had a


bricks-and-mortar store and decided to carry a new product line,


how would you let people know? You could advertise of course,


but a better and free alternative is to send a news release to


the local paper. Their business section may carry your


announcement free of charge.





Now back to our cyber-store in virtual space. If you add a new


web page, or make substantial changes to existing pages, how do


you let your customers (both former and future) know? You can


email your former customers, but spam blocking software will


prevent half of them from getting your message. And keeping


track of mailing lists, unsubscribe requests and address changes


is nothing short of a nightmare.





Instead, post a news release using RSS. Interested customers


will have their newsreader programs watching for your


announcements, and will get the news as soon as you send it out.


The announcement will include a link to the new or changed page,


and your customer can click on it if they are interested. True,


fewer will click through than might read an email from you --


but those who do will arrive at your site in a much more


receptive frame of mind. And those email readers still need to


click through to your site to see your new page anyhow.





If you make frequent additions or changes to your site you


should have your own RSS feed. Check out these sites to learn


how to make your own feed:

Or you might want to try these programs to format your


information, so you can post it to your website:

Linux, open source

RSS Headliner Create RSS Feed file on-line to copy and post to


your site. http://www.webdevtips.com/webdevtips/codegen/rss.shtml





But what if you don't often make changes or additions to your


site? There is a new site that offers a solution to that


problem. Shared RSS provides feed by TOPIC rather than


publisher. So you simply post your message in the appropriate


topic category (there are thousands to choose from) and share


your feed with others publishing on the same topic. It is a free


service that you certainly should use if you do not publish your


own feed.





http://www.sharedrss.com/





Wouldn't that mean (I can hear someone object) that I would be


sharing a feed with my competition? Well yes, but that isn't a


bad thing. It's like all those antique stores that congregate in


the same part of town -- shoppers flock there and wander store


to store, to the benefit of all.





Don't kid yourself, customers already know about your


competition. For every customer of yours who visits their sites


because they found an RSS link on your site, you will receive


one, two or three visits from potential customers who found your


information on an RSS link they discovered on your competitors


site, or in a catalog of RSS feeds. The benefit far outweighs


the risk.





And RSS feeds are not just for business. If other sites submit


to the shared feed they will bring with them more people


interested in that topic, who may become your future customers.


No, RSS is not just for Blogs anymore! Start your own or submit


to a shared feed, either way you can only benefit.
