• Service Fees: Certain services attached to purchases, like premium support or processing fees, could result in extra charges.
• Cross-Promotions: Users might be charged for promotions linked to third-party services or subscriptions without clear disclosure.

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

First, try to contact the shop.com 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 shop.com 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 shop.com, 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.
