Skillshare is an online learning platform where you can take a wide variety of creative and practical classes. They offer a membership subscription that starts with a free trial, and after the trial, you get billed annually at $167.88, which breaks down to about $13.99 per month. This membership gives you unlimited access to thousands of classes and extra features like offline viewing and subtitles. So if you see a charge from Skillshare, it's likely for your yearly subscription to keep learning and accessing their content.
The cancellation process for Skillshare is relatively straightforward, requiring users to log into their account, navigate to Membership & Payments, and click 'Cancel membership.' However, there is added complexity for those who subscribed via Google Play or iOS App Store, as they must cancel through those platforms, which can add some difficulty—hence a rating of 3 out of 10.

Tips and Tricks for Getting a Skillshare Refund
Cancel immediately after signing up or starting the free trial to prevent unexpected charges.
Keep detailed records of your account details, last 4 digits of your card, subscription amount, and any correspondence when requesting a refund or cancellation.
Be polite but persistent in your communications, escalating your case with multiple emails and follow-ups.
Threaten escalation by mentioning you will contact your bank to dispute charges or file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
Use clear, firm language stating you did not authorize continued charges and demand a full refund, not just partial.
Contact content creators associated with Skillshare to raise awareness if you encounter resistance.
Use calendar alerts to remember subscription and trial end dates for timely cancellation.
Watch for automated customer service bots and try to escalate to a real agent for better results.
Monitor your credit card or PayPal statements closely to catch any unauthorized or continued charges early.
