Upon signing up for a 1 mnth course there seemed to have been a mandatory 1year plus trial I could not opt out of. While I had every intention to cancel it. I had issues doing so when I tried to a few days before it expired. I was eventually able to login an d cancel the subscription however it had already charged my PayPal account $109.99. While I understand they are trying to make money off persons with this program. I believe the choice should be optional. I should not be forced to complete courses on your platform because you refuse to provide me with a refund which was requested as soon as the service was cancelled. I have not used the plus service yet I am being told I cannot be refunded. In all my years of ordering services online, this is very new to me. ' Now I know what to look out for in the future and will not allow this t happen again. I will also do my best to educate as many persons as possible regarding this most traumatizing situation.

I've purchased courses from Domestika for years with no problems. Suddenly they are sneaking unwanted "free trials" in on course purchases without authorisation! Having previously trusted them I did not read the fine print in the emailed invoice and did not see the "free trial" and it's terms. Then without any notice (they "say" they send 3 emails advising the end of the "free trial" BUT THEY LIE!!!) they slugged me for hundreds of $ and refuse to refund. I never even knew I had a "free trial" of a Plus account until they stole my money! I've never used it and never will! I don't want it, don't need it, and no longer trust them AT ALL!!!!! Scammers!

BEWARE!! If you buy any individual course, Domestika will charge you an annual fee after 30 days!!! Like many others Domestika subscribers, I've been charged an annual subscription without my consent or knowledge. Tried contacting support to get my refund and received a "too bad" automatic reply. People are being scammed in the hundreds by Domestika! Just look up this facebook page by other subscribers to get the details or check their social media profiles. I'm sorry for the creators that share their work in goodwill, but Domestika is scamming its customers. Stay away from those grifters!

Avoid buying from this company. They don’t clearly state that your $6.99 course is part of a trial subscription, and no email highlights the post-trial cost (AU $150) in the subject line. You have to dig through promotional messages to find the fine print. Like most people, I don’t check emails unless the subject line is important. Now I’m asking for a refund and just get an automatic reply that helps nothing. Many complaints on here, Facebook, and elsewhere show others face the same problem. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DOMESTIKA

Please do not trust these guys - they have taken my membership payment and despite saying on the website that they offer a refund - will not. I have begged them to refund because of an oversight - I was ill and was not accessing my email - I cannot afford the payment, however they do not give a damn and will not refund. Despite taking my payment, there has been no welcome email, no reciept, no correspondence at all - they are nothing but scammers who hope you will accidentally forget to cancel your trial and give up.

Domestika took CAD$130 for Domestika Plus with no prior notice. They say you can get a refund within 14 days of the renewal, but that's not accurate. The "refund" button is not there. I've been trying to contact them for 2 weeks with no luck. I’ve messaged on social media, emailed, filled out their form, and called their main office... all I get are unhelpful bot replies. Honestly, I doubt I'll get my money back. It seems like they just took it and that's that.

I didn't enroll in the PLUS Domestic plan with the 30-day free trial. It seems like it was added by someone at the company when I bought a program. Now, I’m out almost 100 dollars and no one is answering or helping to get my money back. This is unacceptable and a big amount for me. I would never have signed up for even a free trial because I would likely forget. How do I retrieve my money? I REALLY need them to sort this out.

Warning to all! Domestika's misleading wording and hidden 'free trial' tricked me into a R1800 subscription (all the money in my account). No reminder emails, no way to request a refund, and automated responses only. I am a cancer survivor and all my money goes to my medical fees and I will not be able to afford them this month. I'm not alone - thousands are speaking out against this scam (check Domestika Scam group on FB).

I've been using this website for a while now. I bought some great courses from really talented artists. Recently, I had a subscription hiccup, but it got sorted out. Now, the website is clear about the subscription—it's right under the pay button. This hiccup won't stop me from using the website. It's full of great courses from brilliant artists and craftsmen.

I wish I could rate it lower. I bought a course for $2.99 last month. Hidden in the tiny print, I apparently agreed to a 30-day trial followed by a yearly subscription. $149 was deducted from my account yesterday, and they are not giving it back. I did not agree to an annual plan. This feels wrong and deceptive...avoid it.

I was charged for a year subscription I didn't say yes to! 110 $ for e courses ?!? WTF I would never pay that much money for this. They don't have support, just ai chat and generated messages. I loved this website and now I'm just disappointed and want my money back!

Same problem here, without any notification 110 euro withdrawn from my paypal account. It was the intention to follow one course. Before there wasn't any problem, payed just 10 euro for one course and now they offer courses for 1 euro, which at the end cost you €110,- .

Very bad experience, I bought a course and they somehow automatically added to it yearly subscription that I never wanted and was not visible while placing the order. Then there is no contact no option to cancel and get money back even tho I never use it. SCAM

I was also billed $99 for domestika plus without asking for the service or the trial, so checking reviews wouldn't have helped since it all happened without my consent. Clearly, I’m not entitled to a refund. Is it that nothing can be done about this fraud?

Company doesn't properly notify before charging for yearly sub. Claimed they sent 3 emails for free trial (not got) & automatically charged when no response ($97.00). Won't cancel or refund. Heard they did same to others, even friend.

Totally unacceptable! I got charged $109.99 for a Domestika Plus subscription I DIDN'T approve. I never signed up, didn't fill out any forms, and got no email asking for my OK. They just took my money without asking!

I recently had trouble getting a refund for a subscription I didn't want. But when I finally contacted Domestika, it was no issue. They refunded my money immediately. Niniane Larsen

Domestika.org charged my account for a YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION without my approval and is ignoring all attempts to fix this issue. This is dishonest and should be addressed.‼️‼️

Do not fall for their cheap course. I have been scammed out of $100 and there is ZERO SUPPORT or customer service. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND STEER CLEAR.

The company is alright, I like the teachers and the courses are decent. Had a small issue getting into my courses, but it got sorted after a while.
