RedShop a warning

Hi, I normally like to post positive reviews but with regards to RedShop and their unethical business practises I cannot.
I’ve purchased an annual subscription as was interested in utilising an ecommerce package after numerous issues with VirtueMart.
The software does work, the interface is not (in my humble opinion) completely intuitive.
But the software does work, albeit HIGHLY expensive and I would strongly suggest using MagentoGo if you can, you’ll be happy in the long run.

The SIGNIFICANT gripe that I have with RedShop is their unethical business practises.
Please be warned, when purchasing (in good faith) an annual subscription via PayPal, when you pay your first invoice there is another component added to your PayPal account that will transfer funds from your account to theirs next year without your permission. If you are PayPal savvy this is easy to stop in advance – but unless you know it’s going to happen (as I did not), you will be invoiced, funds will be taken from your account and RedShop will not refund your money and when you try and work with RedShop to have your funds return I think you will be shocked at the rudeness of their reply.

RedShop is not Cheap, in AUD I’ve just donated close to 300.00 with nothing to show as I do not use their software as I have migrated to MagentoGo (a far superior product).
I tried to get a refund and well… they’ve just been rude.
They’ve pretty much stolen my money.

Be warned when dealing with these people as they are unethical.

Regards

Mark
