My wife and daughter signed up for a "Free Trial" of some "African Mango" slimming products, "try for free for 14 days if you are not happy with the product notify within 14 days and you won't be billed". We didn't receive any product and about three weeks later we noticed that $96.45 AUD had been taken from both of their accounts.
I rang and complained, I called it a scam, demanded a refund and threatened to contact ebay at which point they agreed to refund the funds. On the 3rd of Feb they did refund $90.45 AUD into both accounts and on the 5th of Feb they took out another $87.47 ($94.36US) from both accounts. Under the name of VISA-advmetabill. This was after I had emailed them saying that we wanted no more to do with their company and explicitly stated that they had no authority to access any further funds from our accounts. I am still truly amazed that ebay allows such companies to advertise on their site and will never trust another of their paid advertisments again.
