I don't know how many others out there have experienced the same thing, but STO is a joke.
I paid my money in good faith. I go to buying stuff and their web site is experiencing problems. When I put in a ticket, days go by without a response. Finally, I gave them 2 warnings that if I didn't get what I paid for, I would go back to paypal and put in a complaint to get my money back.
When I did get a response, they blamed me saying it was my computer and how I had to clear caches and so on. I guess these people are used to giving stupid responses. Since I tried to use their web site and got the same problems on THREE different computers using THREE different browsers, it certainly wasn't on my end.
I got tired of waiting for yet another excuse. I started the complaint process last night. No sooner had I did that, MY ACCOUNT WAS BANNED. Talk about adding insult to injury.
So, to those out there, a warning. STO is not interested in you, JUST YOUR MONEY. Its a good thing I have a dozen other games on my system that I paid good money for. The nice thing is I will get my money back whether these jerks like it or not.

He followed procedure, and he got the brush off from their horrible support.
What should he have done, let them have the money for nothing?
he could of chased it up with phone support, email support, hell even march down to cryptic offices in california and got it solved personally. if i was in that position i would do this, esp. knowing how much it would cost to take a flight there and back.

But, you believe, since they did not address your particular issue, in the time frame that you feel is appropriate you should be able to get your money back, regardless of whatever terms you bought the items under (i.e. no refunds). Then deciding you don't like that answer, you take it a step further and complain to PayPal... hoping to get your money back? or perhaps hurt their ability to use PayPal as a means of collecting funds?
I would've banned you myself. Sorry, but get in line with the rest.

He didn't say he didn't get what he paid for... If that is the case, then my response changes... but I don't believe that is the issue here... he bought something, and while it is available to him in game, the game is having issues right now...
