I cancelled my membership to Zazzle in March 2023. They still used my credit card to bill me a yearly membership till March 2024. They would not refund my money then and I let it go as long as membership was cancelled. They did this again March 3, 2024! I requested a refund again and asked for cancellation of account. I have not used their service in over a year. They will not refund . They use my PayPal account for auto membership, I asked them not to do this. My membership is under an old email address ********************Initial Complaint

*************** had reached out on behalf of her husband to Zazzle prior to placing the complaint with the Better Business Bureau. She wished to ascertain how Zazzle could assist in rectifying their receipt of a 1099 MISC despite being sure that they had never sold an item on Zazzle. On examination of the order,it became apparent that whilst she had reached out on Thursday the 02/02/24 the image of the form required was only sent to Zazzle on Tuesday 02/06/24. At this point, the details were sent on the appropriate department. A Zazzle representative from the payment research department then reached out to the customer on 02/07/2024 (the day following the initial BBB complaint) to explain that whilst the account had immediately been disabled, further documentation would be required in order to permanently delete the account in question.The customer was also advised to reach out to their local authorities to file a personal identity theft claim, as well as notify the associated taxing authorities. There has been no response to this email as yet.Initial Complaint

I ordered a memorial poster and prayer cards on January 16, ****. When checking out, the standard shipping for **** is automatically chosen by Zazzle. Because I did not need to rush the order, I did not change the shipment option so it remained standard. On 1/17/24, my credit card was charged an additional $19.95. When I questioned **** from Zazzles ************** I was told I signed up for ********************** Plus. I said that I did not sign-up and I requested a rebate. Her response to me:As stated in the Terms and Conditions agreed upon when signing up for the membership, the service is non-refundable.What? I agreed to terms and conditions prior to allegedly signing up? I asked **** for proof I signed up several times via email, or an explanation on how it happened, and my question was completely ignored. Because **** would not answer my question, I went back to the Zazzle cart screen, I noticed in the option labeled $**** for standard shipping, that under this verbiage, it also said Free with Zazzle Plus. So, is this what the company calls signing up for this service? Every customer is signing up by not changing the standard shipping to premium or expedited shipping. Wow.I recalled an issue with Zazzle back in 2018. So I decided to dig deeper. Back in 2016, the last time I ordered with Zazzle, I was charged $19.95 for 3 years straight without knowing. Thats on me. I just thought maybe I didnt uncheck a box in 2016, so I had the service cancelled in 2018 without complaint. But now I understand how it happened. I went back to my email and saw Zazzle did send terms and conditions in a separate email after I placed my order. Why doesnt it say terms apply next to the free with Zazzle Plus option? You cant put two shipping options in one box. Separate the standard shipping from the Zazzle plus membership option. This is a very deceptive practice.Business response

******************* signed up to our Zazzle Plus free trial on the 2/7/2016. Since then, ******************* has made several savings on many orders through this membership only available at checkout once the box is selected by the customer who agrees to accept the terms and conditions which can be found here ************************************************************************
With the most recent orders placed in ****, through this once a year payment of $19.95, ******************* has made savings of $41.96 alone. Charges that would initially have been paid if not for Zazzle Plus. In total, ******************* has made savings on shipping costs totaling $72.51 through our Zazzle Plus membership over time, all of which can be seen through their Zazzle Plus settings on their Zazzle account. As of the 02/16/**** their Zazzle Plus membership has been cancelled and refunded as a one time courtesy and going forward, they will have to pay regular shipping charges on any future orders.Initial Complaint

I used Zazzle to buy custom printed business cards. When I checked out and entered my credit card information I didn't realize I was subscribing to some garbage service called memhelp.com. I got confused because I got no confirmation for my order and could find no history of it on Zazzle. I placed the order again and it went through. I was then contacted by ***** Fraud due to an attempted charge full memhelp for $25. Although Zazzle is a legit site, this is clearly some kind of intentional bait and switch.Business response

******************* had not contacted Zazzle prior to placing the complaint with the Better Business Bureau. On examination of the order, it became apparent that the customer had signed up to a third party service prior to placing her order but she maintained that she had been misled into signing up for this service before she could access the regular checkout. A Zazzle representative reached out to the customer explain that we were not in any way affiliated with the site concerned and that she would need to dispute the transaction with the site concerned and/or her bank.Initial Complaint

Sent DMCA notice to Zazzle immediately upon becoming aware that two accounts on Zazzle were selling products with my intellectual property (logos/designs/photos). Zazzle has not responded to any of my emails, or phone calls.
