Here's an interesting perspective:

Let's say the average survey takes 30 seconds to fill out with an average payment of $0.15. That works out to $18/hr if you were doing surveys the entire time. How are those earnings somehow less valuable than $18/hr at a job? Sure, you can only spend them in the play store, but they still took work to earn and they hold equal dollar value.

Btw, the reason a grocery store wouldn't take back food is more to do with health codes than anything. If it's general merchandise, many stores do accept unconditional returns or exchanges within certain time frames.

Your my hero Mooncatt!

And the Play store issues refunds as well, in a set time frame, laid out in the terms, just like a store. Miss the time frame for return, no refund, pretty simple.

Nobody goes to a job to earn store credit. Jobs pay in cash. Employees at Best Buy don't get paid in Best Buy gift cards.

Surveys are optional. You are opting to provide data mining info to Google in exchange for Google Play credit. It's not cash. It can't be cashed out.

Going back too what Mooncat said earlier... How can you Tell in that short of time that it was going to be a battery drainer? Google used to give you a day I think? The time they gave was not sufficient.

*** Still waiting for the Dev to pop in and offer me a refund any time now....

And I stand by my point... The theme is not the cause of the battery drain. Iit's the theme engine or something conflicting for you. I don't recall any battery drain issues mentioned in the XDA thread where the are many more users of his themes.

When you make a purchase, anywhere, you are bound by the terms of that in regards to returns or exchanges. His theme isn't defective and you missed the return window clearly stated by Google. That's why they denied your refund.

If he decides to give you a refund, more power to him.

Your right, it's up to him! But I would hope as a seller he would do the right thing.

Case and point...I bought glass screen protectors for the v20 from eBay [we ALL know that went from the many threads on here about the Halo effect on the curves] but the sellers said keep the protectors and gave me refund with no hassle. So not only do they lose money... They lose product. This case he has NOTHING to lose... NOTHING AT ALL.

In the end, it is his decision if he wants to give me a refund. He was in here a lot before All this and now he is no where to be seen. If I had to guess he is sitting back and enjoying the show. Lol. But and here is the BIG BUT...... I get to post a review about it since i bought it. I am not a spiteful person, but this is starting to get a bit old and has now become a matter of principle and not $1.49.

I read some of the comments at xda, not all were good...

The only reason you get to keep the screen protectors with the refund is because it cost more to ship them back than it costs to manufacture them.

And how do you know it doesn't cost him any money? Google already denied your refund and have taken their fee on the sale. If he decides to give you a refund, does Google then change their mind and refund the fee? Or do they keep the fee and he's on the hook for the whole amount?

That's actually not my concern or problem. That's the sellers problem. I sold a lot on eBay previously and I had to takes losses... That's part of selling. If he didn't expect waves... He should have offered them for free. He already sold some so he is ahead of the game the way i see it.

It's his problem to take a loss since you want a refund on your monopoly money outside the clearly stated refund window?

Yep!

 

[anon(782252)]

Yep!

That's pretty sad that you would be OK costing him money when you knowingly missed the refund window. Especially since you haven't spent any of your own actual money.

What about All the times I lost money and product shipping overseas because customs lost the item and when the post office lost the item and because they paid via PayPal i was liable?

Again, it's not my fault I had to wait hours to find out there are battery issues with it. This is what comes along with being a seller.. No wait.. The creator of the actual item of sale! He made the product, he should stand behind it 110%! If you aren't ready to handle the bad that comes along with the good... Plain and simple don't produce a product to sell. What about all the profit he made from the ones he sold? What about that? I don't Feel sorry at all nor that you opened my eyes even more to all this.

In fact you are just solidifying the fact that if it does not work out in my favor...I am posting a bad review so thank you for the push of confidence. Thank you for that ego boost.

Posting a bad review over monopoly money? Wow.

Please post if you do. I'll be happy to purchase all his themes with my monopoly money to counter your one bad, unjustified review. I'll be doing that on principle as well.

Will do! Like I said, I'm not spiteful, but I would post the honest facts if it comes to that.

What's funny, is your aggressiveness is wanting me to push this to the limit even more. Lol

PS... Are you his girlfriend maybe? There you go.. Changed back for you. Screen shot that girly man

Lol. Aggressiveness? Hilarious.

GF? Well since I'm a guy apparently not. But clearly that was just meant to be rude and offensive.

Honestly I did not mean to be rude, as you can see I changed it to boy / girl. Auto correct has a mind of its own sometime. It's even corrected in your reply. You must have just missed it

That's not an auto correct situation but good try. I took a screen shot of the original in all its offensive glory.

What ever... Yes it was but believe what you want and now I'm done being nice. If I meant it, I would have left it and not changed it. So I'll live up to your portrayal and put it back for you and left you a little extra sunshine.

Wow. That's you not being nice? However will I go on? Please, throw out more insults on the internet.

You wasted so much space on this posting your over inflated opinions. Even when others questioned your comments, you continued to attack the people who posted. Take a look at it. You are a narcissist. So there you go... Keep on posting so you can get your last words in and Feel like you made a difference. I guess now comes the part where you email the Dev and say look at me, I defended you and your work... Can I get some free themes? Lol

Oh, keep checking for my review on the play store... I'll post it sometime. Not too soon though, I love knowing your obsessed with waiting for it.....

I didn't attack anyone. That was you. Take a long look in the mirror.

I don't use themes, don't know the Dev, but if I want to voice my opinion then I will.

You are pissed off because Google stood firm on their refund policy and won't give back your $1.49 in monopoly money that you got for free by answering surveys. Something you knew nothing about until someone mentioned it in this thread. So if you had never signed up for Rewards you would have never purchased the theme because you don't use credit cards. You aren't out any money yet you are on here threatening the Dev that you will post a negative review on Google Play. Yeah, I'm going to call you out on that.
