Gumroad - Where is my payout ???? need my payout...

Where is my payout? I need my payout ASAP.

They have skipped 2 payouts for me due to my account being under review. My money that was paid to me for my books has been sitting there for about 2 months now. What is really going on with this company?

I worked hard for this to happen. If this company is a scam, please let me know so I can escalate to the right people.

Pros:
  • To easy to get locked in

Contacted the company first

The reviewer tried to contact the company before posting this review.

AI Highlights
  • - Unauthorized $4,558 withdrawals from Bank of America on 9/18, with a return on 9/25.
  • - Why spouse's name appeared on the ACH; request fraud alerts.

Hello,

My name is Barry Rush. I need to speak to someone in accounting. I want to know why you withdrew $4,558 from our B of A personal checking account twice on 9/18 and then deposited that same amount back to the account on 9/25.

And how did my wife's name end up on the ACH? My B of A wanted to set up a fraud alert immediately, but I offered to call you first and try to determine how this happened.

Trying to call you on the phone numbers on your website doesn't work. Your 800 number has a full mailbox, and the 605 number doesn't exist according to my carrier (Verizon). Please reach out quickly so I don't need to issue that fraud alert, which would be very annoying to me and probably not good on your side either.

Pros:
  • No clue
Cons:
  • Automatically withdraw funds from random checking accounts

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: To non-customers, pay attention to your checking accounts. Their input procedures for withdraws is crap (at least)

Ordered a ebook and audiobook

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I bought an audiobook and ebook from through this company from dark tactics (or dark mind tactics ) and only received the first 40 of the pages which is just the table of contents. I may change my review if I can get the entire book but so far neither company has fixed the issue. BUYER BEWARE!

User's recommendation: Don't buy from this company. They don't deliver!
