On 11/24 I paid $797 for the course and $75 to get help setting up by Shopify. These are the things that were supposed to be included. There is no disclaimer saying these things cost more. 9+ Hours Of Step-By-Step Training Templates, ************************* Exclusive Mastermind Chat *********************** ??BONUS: Free Call ** ******* 6-Figure Student Khalil (+List of Vetted Wholesale Suppliers)The training is more video of the same things he had already spoken about. The chat is of members that are learning also trying to answer each other questions.The call never happened. They set me up with ****** and the person that called was someone else wanting to up sale for more videos.I read the rules for the chat group and when I started telling them what was happening they clicked me from the chat and ******** I didnt not violate the guidelines. On the Shopify they set up a whole new account with an email I had no access to or could creat. I was get up with whatever product they chose (fitness) i do not want to sell fitness. They told me to deal with it and cancel my other account with the products I actually wanted to sell and needed help setting up. Now I have two accounts one I still need help setting up and another they set up wit products I dont want to sell. They are associated with Shopify and Im guessing they get a kick back for new account they open. I emailed the customer service and they want me to send proof I watched the course. I did not waste my time watching all the videos. I need to set up my stores before Christmas and that is unfortunately not happening because I wasted all this time trying to get assistance and now my money back . They are doing Bait and Switch and no disclosures on website to make people aware of shat they are actually buying.Business Response

This ensures our refund policy is administered in a fair and responsible manner.To address this situation, we have processed a refund for ******'s payment. We are continually working towards improving our service by centralizing management to provide a better experience.Initial Complaint

On 5/19/2022, I paid $7,997 for a 3-day live Shopify workshop that was to take place on 06/24/2022. A day before the workshop I had not gotten any information, only to be informed that it had been canceled and was not being rescheduled. Then I was offered a 90-day 1 on 1 mentorship instead, but that too never materialized. From July 1st - 25th, I kept inquiring about the mentorship but did not get any response, and at that point, i did my training with another entity and requested that the money I paid to be refunded to me.On 8/23/2022, I send an email as my first request for a refund, 8/30/2022, I sent another email as my second request for my refund. On 8/31/2022, I got a response requesting for my bank account information to process my refund, but nothing was done. On 9/20/2022 I sent another email as my 3rd and final request for my refund after not getting any response from *************************** or Ecom Degree university. I still have not heard a word from them.Business Response
