Reversals very much should existā¦ theyāre an integral security measure for users of credit cards and payment providers. Fraudulent reversals shouldnāt exist, but unfortunately doā¦ and are very difficult to prove.
As far as Iām aware, reversals have to be processed manually, and theyāre processed in batchesā¦ so while you may have had 7 reversals applied to your account in 2 days, those reversals may have been over a period of 2 days, 2 weeks or 2 months.

@SpaceStockFootage your solution is not a solution but just a theory and what GR is claiming to be their scape goat for this but for me is money and hours of work going down the drain. How is possible after 2 months to be refund for fraud come on man if someone reported his card stolen all purchases are frozen the first 3 days i know this because my friend is working in a bank. 2 of those refunds came in after 3 hours of purchase how is this possible if someone didnt find the way to scum GR to get free designs. From the moment GR cant protect us from this THEY should cut their loses and not us after all we pay them loyalties for this reason to have us covered from all this too. I had another refund today of a sale i had 3 months ago this doesnt even make sense is case of dispute that normally is 15 days and not 3 months. And by accident all this refunds from different byers happening in a period of 3 days come on if this is not fishy then i dont know what is.

You didnāt ask for a solution, and I didnāt provide a solutionā¦ I have no idea who marked my comment as a solution. Still, search for reversals/chargebacks in the forums (or elsewhere), and brush on up on what they are, why they occur, and what can be done about them. If you have any questions that havenāt been previously covered then Iād be happy to try my best to answer.

we all know what reversals are all about (we are not newly-born-birdies), this is not the point . Maybe u should try to understand that this is his work that has been heavily stolen (because 6 overall is huge but 6 in one day , this is rather a nightmare indeed and i do not know who would be happy about this) and that this is meaning a lot of lost sales for him. He may have a family to feed, bills to pay and so on and really needs the concerned money in this troubled time - when sales are bad - instead of experiencing reversals and finding his work in pirate websites and have his items very unlikely to sell in the future ā¦

Yes, nobody likes reversals. So what should we do about it? Knowing everything you know about reversals and how they workā¦ what is the solution?

i used to mention about this , i am sure that insurance could work for such issues, as for any commerce when they get stolen ā¦ apple also demands a digital signature on every purchase placed in iTunes to avoid refunds of digital goods (they are still accepted here despite the high risk of piracy), pls let me remind u that once digital items are downloaded , this is lost for authors. i will also add this. This is sad that authors seem to be suspected of doing bad things - because of a handful of cheaters having many accounts - and will all have to go through ID check at a time because of a few black goats doing nonsensical things but that the checking does not apply to buyers when we know what is going on with issues like reversals, on the other hand ā¦

Insurance is always more expensive than the issue it covers, so it would result in losing more money. ID checks shouldnāt apply to buyers, itās not like weāre selling weapons, financial services or houses or anythingā¦ I canāt imagine anywhere like Apple, Amazon, McDonalds or Starbucks being anywhere near as popular if you had to provide a passport, driving license and a bank statement when you go in. As for the digital signatures, I donāt use iTunes so Iām not sure what they are, but Iād be very surprised if they stop reversals.

Itunes are not having reversals i guess, as u have to register with name card number and so on before buying and they do not have ārefundsā because they ask u to state that u will not cancel your purchase so that if u tried this would be illegal ā¦ and they would not refund anyways (they are aware that they sell digital goods that are āgoneā in case u download them). mcdonalds and starbucks have no business here as they are physical shops this is thus irrelevant a comparison. Checking the ID of buyers is not less justified than checking the ID of a seller , especially with your logics. So why are authors being controlled? because they may cheat with the number of accounts ? but who is really being hurt by this anyways? when buyers cheating and issuing a reversal process this is hurting ā¦ because we know that a lot of people doing this actually send authorsā items to pirate websites, so whose ID is most interesting to control in your opinion?

Based on a quick Google search, reversals are very much a thing on iTunes. So if Apple havenāt figured out a way round them, what makes you think Envato can?
Envato also ask you not to cancel your purchase, so itās āillegalā here too. Not exactly water-tight is it?
Iām sorry, but you say that you know what reversals are all about, but every comment you make regarding reversals gives the impression that you donāt. If you did then youād know that nothing can be done.
(Well, things could be done, but theyād end up losing you more money than how things are currentlyā¦ i.e. insurance, or getting the customer to wait 120 days after payment before they can download, only accepting cash or crypto as payment etc etc.)

lol as usual u are lecturing people and telling them u know better than them but all this is ending up with is asking the concerned people to solve the problems while considering that there are no possible solutions, which is very much of the easy way, to say the least. Thieves are safe with your methods and they have no real reason to worry, this is for sure, they can keep their business as usual. As usual authors should accept it all and be happy no matter what. This is true that this time is such a paradise for designers with sales going down 67%, at least - depending on people of course but for a good deal of people this is this sort of collapse that they are facing - ( for instance, last year i made 600+ dollars in november and this year (so for the second est month of the year normally, this is only 230 this far) - they really do not mind in such a context to have items downloaded without getting money , as u can imagine. So, u feel this is satisfying to say āreversals are bad and sad but what to doā? and to sum up your solution is to ask @Hotpin to consider to be happy or blessed that he got reversals and had his items sent to pirate websites while his works , time and effort have been reduced to dust. Or maybe the solution is that we all - authors - offer Hotpin some smile therapy sessions so that he can laugh the matter off and cheer up, this is the solution that u think about? LOL after all there is nothing to do ā¦ i guess this will very much help him to feed his family
Sorry, but yesā¦ in this instance, I do know better than you. And itās apparent thatās an emotional response as I donāt see you accusing people of lecturing you when they announce a sale, or a competition, or a change to policies and processesā¦ you only feel Iām ālecturingā you as you disagree with what Iām saying. Unfortunately, that doesnāt alter that fact that what Iām saying is true.
There are no solutionsā¦ but by asking the concerned people to solve the problems, Iām open to the fact that thereās always the possibility I could be wrong, which is the right thing to do. But consider that Apple (for example) have not yet found a solution, so if youāre going to come up with one it would be a good idea to fully understand what reversals are and how they work.
My methods? I did not invent payment protection.
While this is all very important, it has nothing to do with reversals and coming up with a solution to them. If people want to complain about reversals, thatās fine. If people arenāt happy with reversals, thatās perfectly understandableā¦ I get reversals as well. As much as you may believe otherwise for some strange reasonā¦ I have never once insinuated that people should be happy or blessed at receiving reversals.
If people want a place to vent thatās fine, but the issue Iām addressing here is when people believe that Envato are in the wrong or there should be something they can do to get rid of them. At that point, they do need to be ālecturedā (I prefer educated) as the majority of times they donāt understand what reversals are and how they work. They get them confused with refunds, they donāt know the time limits arenāt set by Envato, they think Envato can accept/refuse them etc etc.
You may want me to reply along the lines of āOh youāve had a reversalā¦ horrible Envato, they should turn off reversals or limit them to a week or somethingā¦ what are they playing at?!ā but thatās just not reality Iām afraid.
I got 2 reversal in 24 hours
