That's problem number one for the merchant. Number 2 is that the card bank will charge the merchant a fee for the chargeback. Now, they don't get the sale or the profit that goes along with it. Plus, they pay a fee. Total loss, wouldn't you say? That loss will mean that they have to make several other SUCCESSFUL sales in order to just get back to even again. After 2% charge backs, the merchant is in danger of losing their merchant account. Game over when you're selling online. Either that, or else they have to find a card processor that is willing to handle their scam. Not so easy to do. Why don't you try the local health food store instead? At least that way, you will have someplace to go where you can expect to be treated more honestly.
