Is Paddle fraud?

• Subscription Services: Many users report being charged for ongoing subscription plans that they may have signed up for, often forgetting about the renewal process.
• One-Time Purchases: Charges can occur due to one-time purchases of software or digital products offered through PaddleNet.
• Free Trials: Some customers find themselves billed after a free trial period ends, as they did not cancel before the trial expired.
• Inadvertent Sign-Ups: Users have noted being charged due to accidental sign-ups when trying services or products, sometimes without noticing pre-checked options.
• Family Sharing: Charges may appear if family members share accounts, and someone else unknowingly subscribes or purchases something via PaddleNet.
• Auto-Renewal Features: Many services have auto-renewal enabled by default, leading to unexpected charges if not canceled manually.
• Promotional Upgrades: Users might receive charges after accepting promotional upgrades that transition into paid plans if not specifically declined.
• Service Usage: Customers might be charged for pay-per-use services, such as API calls or additional features beyond initial agreement.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the paddlenet.ai via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the paddlenet.ai refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with paddlenet.ai, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
