Please describe the reason for submitting a Dispute, in detail.
Seller did not disclose to me that he was utilizing illegal/cracked plugins to build my WP site - it was only after I confronted him that he admitted he should've told me about the cracked plugins. At the time he said two, however there were more. Seller also mentions in his thread that a premium theme would be used, however, I was given a free theme. Seller has a 100% money back guarantee if I am not satisfied. Because of the many cracked plugins and the free theme (instead of premium) I am requesting a 100% refund. Unfortunately, I did leave a positive review prematurely. I only found out about the cracked plugins when they wouldn't update -- a few days after the review was written.
Every time I have shown him proof of something or what he said, he makes up excuses as to what best suits him -- not following his own threads guarantee. He has said two times that if I find something that is offered in his package that he did not fulfill, then he would give me a refund -- This has been met with excuse after excuse.
Please detail exactly how you have tried to resolve your issue before now.
I tried as hard as I could to work this out with the seller. I have had an open DM thread from December 5th until now trying to work this out with the seller. I have given him MANY 24 hour warnings over and over in hopes that we wouldn't have to go down the dispute route and involve moderators. Despite my trying every thing I can think of, seller still refuses to cooperate with me, is making excuses and is contradicting what his own threads and DMs say.
What kind of outcome are you looking for from this Dispute?
A full 100% refund as outlined in his thread and the DMs where he said he would - $150
