    I recently attempted (circa February 12, 2024) to purchase items from the online store for Magic the Gathering Arena on the Epic Gaming platform. I have been playing the game and purchasing "gems" from the online store within the game for the past several years with no problem. This time, I received an 3032 error, which indicated that I should contact their customer service. When I did, their customer service claimed that my account had been blocked due to a contested purchase last year, and have no recollection or indication of having contested a charge. Xsolla refuses to unlock my account. My username on the Epic Gaming system and for Magic the Gathering Arena is GunsmokeTribeca#*****

    Refund Request Denied Tribe Nine Game Shut Down Early (Tookyo Games / Xsolla)I am filing a complaint about the mobile game Tribe Nine, published by ************. The game officially launched on February 20, 2025. On May 15, 2025, the developers announced that the game would shut down, only 84 days after launch. They also canceled all promised updates, content, and future support.The game advertised long-term service, events, updates, and new content. Based on these promises, I spent a total of $810.48 through their official payment platform, Xsolla. I expected to enjoy the game for a long time, not for only a few weeks.After the shutdown announcement, the developers stated that the servers would remain open until November 2025. However, no more updates or content will be added. The game is now in a dead state with no real service. It is not what I paid for.I requested a refund from Xsolla, but they denied it. I believe this is unfair. The product I paid for has changed drastically, and the promises made at purchase were not kept.I believe this is false advertising and a violation of consumer rights. ************ and Xsolla offered a live service game and took payments based on future content and service, then canceled everything shortly after release without offering refunds.Please help me recover the money I spent. I am asking for a full refund of $810.48. I have proof of payment, game shutdown announcements, and records of my requests.Thank you for your support.Links and attachments are included below.1. Official game service termination announcement - ****************************************. Receipts - attached below 3. Others - **************************************************

    I have been attempting to cancel a subscription to the ******** service, which is processed through Xsolla, since late 2024. Despite following all listed instructions, I am unable to cancel the subscription using their designated system.Xsolla requires customers to input a transaction ID through their "Wallet" system to access and manage subscriptions. However, when using a valid transaction receipt from November 29, 2024, I receive an error stating, Give your new purchases some time before you add them. This makes no sense, as the purchase is well over 5 months old.There is no other cancellation option available on the ******** site, and Xsolla provides no clear path to cancel without relying on a broken system. This has resulted in recurring charges of $6 per month, with no accessible way for the customer to stop them.I submitted a support ticket to both companies but am submitting this BBB complaint due to the lack of transparency and the seemingly intentional difficulty in canceling a subscription. This practice appears predatory and misleading.

    i did not authorise a transaction done by my son who literally dont know what he's done so i asked a refund on the basis that my son cannot legally be binding for the game he purchased. i requested them to take back the game and refund the charge back to my Checking account with 3% interest but they refused the refund and told me they dont owe any interest or at the least refund.. now im complaining this to attorney general and i will take them to small claims court. I want people to be aware of this scam this company had been running

    Id like to report multiple unauthorized transactions from ****** *XSOLLA HERO WARS. According to ***************, ****** *XSOLLA HERO WARS has charged me $2,617.87 since December 2024. However, I did not make any purchases from them during that time. I contacted XSOLLA to request a refund, but they denied my request.

    Date: 03/15/2025

    Hello,

    I understand how frustrating this situation must be, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Unfortunately, the refund manager unable to proceed with a fraud claim because the ****** anti-fraud system did not flag the payment. This can sometimes happen due to security measures when payments are made from unfamiliar locations or devices. 

    In this case, the refund manager recommend you reaching out to ****** support directly, as they have access to more detailed information about your usual payment patterns, including the devices, IP addresses, and services you've paid for. They will be able to carefully review your claim, compare these patterns, and guide you on the best course of action for these transactions. ****** support will be able to assist you further.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    I went to purchase the new ship that came out in the game this month. The ship purchased was the relevance. The ship I wanted to buy was the relevant. Which they as a company should have done a better job of separating the ships so this didnt happen. When I asked for my money refunded they say they will send me an email with a code to file a complaint and I never get the email. It isnt in my spam. I never got an email with a business transaction either. The game I am playing is Star Trek fleet command

    They took my money. The transaction wasnt pending. It failed. They took it anyway. I received no receipt. No purchase. And then their employee told me it was my bank holding it so I called them and it was escalated. Their employee lied to me because my banker could push a button as soon as she receives the stolen money. I talked to another of their employees who was just as unhelpful except she confirmed her previous coworker was in fact lying and that Xsolla has it. I grew up in a transportation business. I know transactions very well.. in fact about 2 weeks ago, similar thing occurred but it was a pending transaction that was later declined and I got a receipt. They just straight up robbed me this time.

    I purchased the ******** software on November 28, 2024, through Xsolla during a Black Friday deal for $54.12. The software was advertised to include a Vietnamese text-to-speech feature. However, after completing the payment and installing the software, I discovered that the advertised Vietnamese feature does not work. The software only functions in English, and customer support confirmed that the Vietnamese feature is not supported despite it being listed as an available option. I requested a refund due to this misrepresentation, but my requests have gone unanswered. I believe this violates consumer protection laws, as the product was not delivered as promised. I am requesting a full refund of $54.12 for the product I cannot use.
