problems with Shopto.net


Recommended Posts

Ok so on the 24th March i ordered a Wii motion plus dongle thing and paid for recorded delivery, it never turned up so I waited 2 weeks before i could claim form shopto. now a few days after i ordered my wii motion plus my card got cloaned, so i rang the bank and cancelled the card.

Now on the 7th April shopto sent a refund automatilly to my cancelled card (only discovered this when the refund didnt show after 4 days) because my card got cancelled it was totally shut down, and a new card was issued.

Shopto.net are now unwilling to refund me to my active and valid card as they say the bank has their money, so they wont refund me.

I have copies of all bankstatments showing the refund has never hit my account, and also an email from shopto.net showung that they refunded to my cancelled card

Shopto are totally fobbing me off, and i now have to wait till the 24th April before i have to claim via the bank to get my money back

shopto have relly ****ed me off recently its unreal

I don't know what the rules are on this one, but it would seem a bit unfair on ShopTo if they had to refund you twice because you didn't realise your card had been cloned.

so am i suppost to ring up all companys when i have a card cloaned telling them this just incase they have to refund me? it still stands that they refunded to a dead card, so im not getting my refund.

I had this problem a few years ago with another company and they where able to refund to another card without any problems, shopto are just dragging their arses. Ive just got off the phone with Trading Standards and they agree that I have a case.

I don't know what the rules are on this one, but it would seem a bit unfair on ShopTo if they had to refund you twice because you didn't realise your card had been cloned.

Considering that a) the card had been cancelled at that point, meaning that the money never actually made it onto a card and b) it was shopto's fault that the card was cloned in the first place, it is perfectly fair that they should have to ensure the refund is received.

They've had security issues for years and never do anything about it.

ShopTo have quite ignorant staff. I don't intend to use them again, that's for sure. I bought about 9 items off them without issue but on my 10th I accidentally had a parcel delivered to my billing address instead of where I actually wanted it to go. I can't actually get anything from my billing address since.. well.. I'm not welcome there. I'm assuming what I've purchased has been destroyed. :cry:

So, about 10 seconds after confirming my order I sent them a message through their website and emailed them too. The parcel got delivered to my billing address after all, no response.

It's been about a month since the incident and I've still not even had so much as a 'Unfortunatley it was sent to your billing address.' type message. So they can forget it. :no:

im pretty sure even if the card is cancelled, the refund can still take place, because, when you use your card sometimes the amount is earmarked for a few days,(say go to a pay @ pump petrol station), the amount will be on the card, even if you ring up and get it blocked a day later, it will still be on there and payments can still be recredited to an old card.

    • Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge by Usama Jawad In June 2025, Microsoft began rolling out AI-powered history search functionality with Edge 138. The idea was simple: allow customers to use natural language phrases and synonyms to find their desired history items rather than matching keywords exactly. Although the company had already rolled out this capability in a phased manner, it has now decided to cancel it. In an update on its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has announced that it has decided not to move forward with AI-powered history search. The company has not detailed the exact reasoning behind this move, but it has apologized to customers for the inconvenience. The move is rather interesting as it seemingly could have improved user productivity. Edge users wouldn't have to worry about typos or exact keywords, and just focus on what they were trying to locate in their browser history. Microsoft had also assured users that an on-device AI model would be leveraged for this functionality, and no data would be sent to the cloud. IT admins also had the ability to control its availability through the EdgeHistoryAISearchEnabled policy. When the feature began rolling out last year, many of our readers called it creepy, noting that they couldn't trust Microsoft to keep their data on their device. Others also questioned its usefulness, saying that it's simply a way for Microsoft to insert more AI bloat into its products. Although the Redmond tech giant had stated that it will be more mindful about surfacing Copilot features in Windows 11 apps, we later discussed how this is mostly a rebranding exercise rather than an actual axing of AI functionalities. Indeed, a Microsoft executive later emphasized how they want to reshape Windows for the agentic AI era. That said, it does seem like at least AI-powered Edge history search isn't a part of that vision.
    • For you to jump on and defend your sweetheart? I agree, it didn't.
    • Not likely, of course, that we will see routine citizenship checks as they only involve compliance with existing federal voting laws already on the books for decades. This seems a non-issue entirely. Only fools would have the government rush headlong into an AI program few can understand or predict, or even debug...
