    I contacted Xsola on 3/20/23 after not being able to process a payment for my Monstercat (music) subscription. The representative tells me that a payment dispute has been filed against a purchase from the ****** PlayStore dated 3/18/23 for $10.79 and that my account was blocked because of a "fraudulent dispute". I have never heard of the game they claim a dispute was filed for and I would've known if someone had used my email on a Playstore purchase (I would've gotten an email). I NEVER purchased anything from this app and I DID NOT dispute anything. It is kind of ridiculous that I am being blocked from their platform in its entirety for something so ridiculous and outright not true.

    Hello!

    We are sorry to hear about your bad experience while purchasing via our store. 

    Xsolla is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant, which is the highest level of security for online merchants. We are committed to providing the highest level of transaction processing security, safeguarding customer information, and combating fraud. 

    According to our data, the dispute is associated with a payment account similar to one of yours. That's why your account got automatically flagged. We've investigated your issue and removed the restriction from your account but sadly I cannot do that with your GooglePay account. Could you please try the payment again with a card directly (not via GooglePay) or PayPal.

    In case of further questions, do not hesitate to contact us at help.xsolla.com or via email *********************************** Thank you!

    I purchased in game currecncy through Xsolla for Game of Thrones conquest. My account got hacked and WB refuses to give me access back even with appropriate documentation. So I explained to Xsolla that I wanted a refund for purchases I no longer have access to. They sent a ticket and I never got a reponse but I paid for something I have no access to which falls on Xsolla and WB games. I have receipts of all my purchases

    Hello *****,

    We are sorry to hear that you faced this issue. 

    According to our records, you have already contacted our support and submitted a refund request. Your request was carefully examined by our refund managers. Unfortunately, your payments were not eligible for a refund, as our refund managers were informed by the game support that the purchases have been already redeemed in the game.  

    But also we would like to take your attention to the fact that Xsolla cannot provide game support and restore game accounts. And in this case, our best recommendation is to contact again the game support to check if they can help you with unbanning the game account. Please do not hesitate to contact our support at help.xsolla.com in case of any payment-related issues. Thank you.

    On Tuesday March 7, 2023 I purchased and received a game packet called the *********************** for $19.99 and my **** card was charged $21.64 and I received confirmation number **********. I then was going to purchase the *********************** for $49.99 however I was somehow able to again purchase the Advanced Packet a second time for $19.99 and got a confirmation code of ********** however I did not receive the second product and from the way the site works I shouldn't have been able to because once you purchase it, it goes away and is no longer available. You can not purchase the product twice however I have two receipts showing I did on the same gaming account which should not happen. However I did and My bank account was charged again $21.64. I provided them with the evidence that something went wrong and was told that since they showed me receiving the product that a refund was not possible. I can prove I did not receive the second product and they apparently don't care now that they have my money. I requested a refund and am now going to speak with my Bank to see what they can do. I will not use this company again in the future if this matter is not reconciled.

    While making an in-game purchase using Xsolla **** platform, the computer was taking too long to process the charge. I exited out of the purchase - thinking it would cancel it. I then tried again. This time it completed as normal. However, I discovered it was charged two times. I registered the problem with Xsolla they refunded one of the payments. To my satisfaction. I noticed then that I was blocked from making any further payments using that platform. After submitting an email about the blockage. They informed me that my purchases were marked as fraudulent. They do not have a way to remedy this situation, so I am permanently blocked from making in-game purchases on games that use their platform. This has caused me a burden which should not be. I already have too many physical and mental health issues - I don't need this one. The company should have a way to clear up such disputes or be shut down.

    This company has established unauthorized reoccurring monthly payments of $19.99 to be drafted from my bank account via PayPal. I've never even heard of this business. The transaction took place on 2/27/23 at 825PM EST, transaction ID 1CP93727CE286135K. I have notified PayPal of the unauthorized activity and have requested a refund and cancellation of the reoccurring payment.

    I purchased items from a game called MIR M and Xsolla turned my card off over the platform and refunded four of my purchases, and that wasn't all I purchased, so they didn't refund the full amount, and they got me suspended from the game, until the products Xsolla refunded are paid for, and I never requested a refund, and my bank said it wasn't on their end, so this is a Xsolla issue, and the developer said the same thing, and Xsolla won't let me use their payment system, for whatever reason, so now I'm locked out of the game, and have incurred a loss of $24.88 USD on my accounts, for which I have two accounts in MIR M, and two accounts in MIR4, and a permanently suspended accounts now in MIR M over the refunds they handled. I've reached out to Xsolla and have been ignored. I opened a ticket over 48hrs ago and no response, and they won't talk to you over the phone, so they won't fix the issue on their end, and I don't want to submit my personal information over their website to a bot, which isn't helpful, because I tried that, and the bot keeps requesting more information, and isn't helpful, and said it would be resolved in two business days, and it's still unresolved. I would like them to unblock my card and allow me to make the purchases, so I may pay the developer of MIR M their money Xsolla refunded, this way I can play on my accounts, because right now I'm blocked not only from their payment system, but from the game, and I've done nothing wrong, at least not that I'm aware, and they won't talk to me, so I don't know what the problem is.
