  Purchased product, ******* to download pictures from my ****** to an external device. It would not work so I contacted the company for live help. They agreed and I provided them contact information as requested and then waited for a contact which never came. I then again requested live help and again provided the information they requested and, again, the help was not provided. I then asked for a refund but they refused and requested information that I am not qualified to provide. I again asked for a refund and have not had a response.

  Thanks for sharing your experience.
  Firstly, I'd like to express our deepest apologies for the inconvenience. We
  desire every interaction you have with us to be as smooth and as hassle-free as
  possible, please don't worry, Wondershare values each customer's benefits and
  we'll do our best to help you out. Per your description, please allow us to
  make a brief explanation as below:
  
  Normally, we will accept a refund request
  if the customer encounters technical issues that are unable to be solved within
  7 days.  We are desperate to fix the
  problem after knowing you were encountering a problem during using the product,
  and this is the reason our support may ask you to provide more details (like a
  screenshot showing the problem and log files, etc) via emails for further
  troubleshooting, and this was also the reason we didn't process a refund for
  you in the first place. Seek your kind understanding.
  
  Upon checking, we found that we have
  already processed a refund for you on 2 April after further confirmation.  When we noticed that you wrote a review on BBB, we are so heartbroken. We hope you double-check your account to
  confirm if you have received the money yet. It is regret to know that this
  product doesn’t live up to your expectations this time. We will continue to do
  improvements and add more powerful features to this software, and
  hopefully, you'll be back to us in the near future!

  On March 21, I purchased a perpetual license for ******* from **********************. I made sure to uncheck offers for bundled services. On March 28 I get a $20.99 charge for their monthly subscription Filmstock. I contacted them asking to cancel subscription and cancel pending credit card transaction. They refused to refund citing their very limited ************************** is processing unauthorized credit card charges.

  On March 8, 2023 I went on a search for video editing software. I had found wondershare and it offered a free 7 day free trial. Based off the way the promotion was set up it appeared that the trial would be 7 days and then they would charge ***** for the year. On March 12,2023 they attempted to charge my account ***** for subscription. I attempted to use some of the video editing features and some of the videos crashed, some of the effects froze and then the software kept crashing my computer. On March 15 (the final day of my free trial) I attempted to cancel the whole program and was put in a hamster wheel of questions and if I was sure I wanted to cancel. The final step was to talk with a rep, so I did to see if I could get some clarification. The first person I talked to said they couldnt even find my account. I provided 2 emails it could be and she couldnt find either. I then provided a screenshot of a email they sent me and she just left the chat. I reconnected with someone else and asked for assistance and she apologized that I got disconnected. I asked to speak with a person instead of chat to which they provided me a form that wouldnt submit. Then the customer service number she gave me wouldnt work either. It kept saying no one was available to take my call and then hung up. She then stopped responding to me as well. I sent another message expressing my dissatisfaction with the software and the service but was told that I was already charged the ***** and they dont give refunds for personal issues. After that they continued to ignore me and then just sent an email basically saying they wouldnt refund me but if I needed help with their service I could reach back out to the chat that kept ignoring me. I feel like Ive been scammed and am upset that I wasted not only my money but my time as well.

  18Feb23 I purchased a annual plan for ************ ** for *******. I initially brought the program to convert a **** to ***. I discovered that I could not convert the **** to ***. Additionally, when taking a video that I already had and converting it from a mid definition video to 8k video my system crashed. I put the accelerator on both the graphics card and the processor. So then I restarted my computer and tried again without the accelerator, my system crashed. So I contacted customer support asking for a refund. They took me through a long explanation of why they could not issue a refund. They said only if there was a technical issue with the software, they could refund the purchase. Then, I said, "**** ** *** ********** ******* * *********** ** ******* ** ***** ** *******." I asked to speak to management, thinking someone could help me. No one. So now I will never do business with this organization.

  Thanks for sharing your experience. We can totally understand your pain when the software didnt perform in a normal way,like a certain crash you mentioned. ************ team always values customers user experience and we are always aiming at improving the performance of this software. This is the reason our support *** ask you to provide more details (like a screenshot showing the problem and log files, etc.) for further troubleshooting, and this was also the reason we didn't process a refund for you in the first place. Seek your kind understanding.

  To take care of your benefits, our senior support will look into this matter and evaluate your refund request, and they will go back to you as earlier as possible. Your patience is highly appreciated!

  02/04/23 this company is completely a **** the software they sell is out of date and will not work on devices today. Not to mention they refuse to honor their 7 day money back garantee when I purchased this saftware it was advertised to work with ******* and the latest iso version it works with is 14.8 whitch ***** dosnt even support or give you the option to download so the software they sell is completely useless and is a lie and a **** so I just said screw it I’ll just get a refund. I asked for one. First they asked for a bunch of files from the software I purchased then after I sent the files they told me I should have tried the free trial first no refunds. They was hoping I wouldn’t figure out the files they wanted so they could deny me a refund for that but I sent every last file and wasted my time. Again wondershare if you couldn’t tell from all the complaints here is a **** and a ****** never use or purchase software from them

  **** ******* ** * ***** * *** **** ****** *** **** **** ***** ***** I got an email saying my subscription was auto-renewed. Didn't think anything of it until I went to use it and didn't have access. They told me there is no record of my purchase. I purchase again, this time it's a double charge and hits my account twice. I try to log onto my dashboard and click account to cancel, but it kept bringing me back to the home page and I was never able to see my account. I emailed them, explaining the double charge and asking them to refund and cancel. No response... but hours prior when I was emailing about renewing my plan, they answer immediately.
  
  Then, I get hit with another charge about a plug in. Never agreed to this, never got an email about it, never got an email letting me know the trial was ending... but apparently this has happened to others. *** ***** ******** *** ****** ******* ******* *** ********. This was attached to the purchase I said was a double charge and needed to be refunded. I sent a follow up email about the refund and again, no response. If i asked you to cancel prior to the 7 days, I should not have to pay for this plug in. Then I chat them and the person talking to me was avoidant, not finding resolution, not solving the problem at all.. made me feel like they are just going to keep my money and that is their plan all along.
  
  Then.. I threaten contacting ******. They say they will forward my case to the designated teams and ask for my FULL credit card number and full name!!!! Like what?! There is no reason you need to see my full credit card number. Their response was this was the only way to check. Then... they tell me there is no proof me paying despite showing the receipts. They say it says "negative" and yeah, negative as in was taken out of my bank account?! ..
  
  I am attempting to get this resolved because I just cannot believe this customer service team and lack of awareness, respect or kindness.

  Thanks for sharing your feedback. In line with your concern, we'd like to explain it in more detail and see how we can help you further.
  
  Regarding the repeated payments, our support has already processed a refund per your request, please check the attached screenshot. Besides, we find that you subscribed to a bundle plan including a license for Filmora together with a 7-day trial subscription for ******* * ********. In order to bring a more cool experience, we did our best to achieve providing ******* * ******** (***** **, ******* **, *********, and ** ********) for users to option, it would be free for use within 7 days and the user will be automatically charged per month if he/she has not canceled before the trial duration ends. This might be the reason you were charged on 25 January again. To avoid any trouble caused by it, we have provided an option for customers to uncheck the Plug-ins on the subscription page. Besides, we especially explain this point in more detail before the customer purchases it from the shopping cart. Seek your kind understanding.

   

  To take care of your concern, we'll investigate this matter further and evaluate the best solution for you accordingly. You may monitor the email from us, and really appreciate a lot for your time and patience!

  My purchase was in October I believe. I purchased an eighty-something dollar lifetime membership and they now charge me upwards of $22 for a plugin membership that I didn't agree to (they will charge you too). This went on for 3 months before I noticed. *** ******* ** ***** ***** ** ** *** * *** *** **** **** **** * ***** ** ******* **** ********** *** **** *** *** *****  **** ***** * ******** ******** *** ************* *** **** ***** ******** ** ****** ******* *** * ******* ** *** ***** *** ********* ******* ** **** **** *** **** ******** 
  **** *** ***********  I just didn't look far enough when I made this decision. Wondershare is iron-clad on no refunds for "personal issues" which is what they call this.... so please don't waste your time responding for my sake Wondershare. *** ***** ** ******* **** ************ ********** ***** 
  I bought a lifetime membership. When I told them they are charging me monthly, they tried to show me a page where I left a box checked for a monthly "plugins" membership. NO. The checkbox is out of view when you buy on a cellphone because it's vertical and they only show you the checkbox on the far left (or very top of your phone) when the sign up for a lifetime membership is at the far right or very bottom. So, for me, this checkbox wasn't even in view when I made the purchase. Nevertheless, no matter what you say, they are iron clad that no one is getting a refund for anything and although they think that have you cornered, don't worry. Just do a chargeback. ****** and credit card companies will side with you.
  
  If you choose to ****** all of these warning signs you're seeing on ****** reviews websites, the least you should do is check every nook of the page you're on and screenshot every single portion of it to save. AND check your credit card or ****** statements MONTHLY for more charges you didn't agree to.
  
  I highly recommend using something else. This program crashes often anyway. (I have a fast computer)

  Thanks for sharing your experience.
  Firstly, I'd like to present our deepest apologies for the doubt caused by the
  subscription. It seems there is some misunderstanding between us, and we'd like
  to explain it in more detail and see how we could help you further.
  
  Upon checking, we find that you subscribed to a bundle plan including a Perpetual license for ******* and a 7-day
  trial subscription for Effects & Plug-ins. In order to bring a more cool
  experience, we did our best to achieve providing Effects & Plug-ins (*****
  FX & ******* FX & ********* & ** ********) for users to option, it
  would be free for use within 7 days and the user will be automatically charged
  20.99USD/month if he/she has not canceled before the trial duration ends. This
  might be the reason you were charged again. To avoid any trouble caused by it,
  we have especially provided an option for customers to uncheck the Plug-ins on
  the subscription page. Meanwhile, we especially explain this point in more
  detail before the customer purchases it from the shopping cart. Seek your kind
  understanding.

  Actually, we have already processed for the renewal payment charged on 18 December 2022 per your request. Besides,we are still following up on your concern about the download insurance service this morning. Please check the screenshots in the attachment.

  If you have any further questions or doubts,
  please feel welcome to reach back out as we would be more than happy to assist.

  I signed up for one year of ******* software. In neither of the emails with my initial subscriptions does it state that this is an automatic annual renewal. I received an automatic withdrawal in December 2022 with no warning. I emailed customer service and they said I should have received an email warning me of the renewal. I checked for this email in my inbox and spam folder. It is not there. They are refusing a refund. I am seeking refund of $65.27. They have committed two errors: 1) failing to provide written notice of automatic renewal on the original receipt and 2) failing to provide advance notice of an automatic renewal.

  To take care of your benefit, actually, my colleague Emilio already reported your case to our senior manager to get permission to process a full refund for you. Upon checking, we find that your order number ********************** was refunded successfully on 3 January 2023, and you may check the refund proof from the screenshot below. We are so heartbroken when we notice that you wrote a review on BBB. Please find the refund proof in the attachment.

  I purchased a software subscription. Unknown to me, there was a 7-day plugin trial associated with my purchase. Obviously, I am not interested in unwanted plugins. I never downloaded the plugin, and have no interest in downloading it. Days passed by, and suddenly I see an invoice in my email inbox. I checked it, and it stated I had been charged $20/mo for a plugin I did not order. I contacted Wondershare, and I was fed "you are confused" sweet talk. I said I did not order the plugin. I am not interested in the plugin. I want a refund. The representative said in Chat that she could not issue a refund. She gave me a link and instructions on how to cancel the monthly subscription of this plugin. I successfully cancelled the subscription, but I have been charged $20.99 and they refuse to refund it giving me some automated sweet-talk message that basically says it is my fault for not reading their spam email to cancel before the 7-day trial expired. ** ****** ** ****** ** **** ****** **** ******** ******* * ***** ********** *** ****** *** * ***** ***** * **** ******* I want a refund.
