    yes in China you can dispute everything and the merchant has to resolve to maintain their reputation

  • Seriously? So when people asked if they can cancel the service and refund the money, you just cancel the service and not returning the money without communication??

    ask vs initiate, so confirm that it's all "ask"

    So "initiating a request" asking if I can get a refund is not an "ask" ?

  • You fucked up, twice. Even three times if we count using ChatGPT for generating walls of text that dilute your messages and only introduce confusion.

    Pay 5$, restore the service and use the service, nothing more you can do.

    Next time, you should Transfer services instead of cancel . Also, you're only eligible for a refund if you can determine the fault lies with the provider, but I see you're regretting your hasty purchase decision.

    No, mainly because my docker deployment is not working. Making me questioning my purchases is wise

    the subject is cancellation not refund. so confirm that no cancellation was initiated by the instance owner and it's just a solely a ticket to ask about cancellation process?

  • Docker works fine for me on all my GC servers.

    its your own ignorance that your application not working. VPS works.

    next time try cancelling non refundable deals on ctrip and see what happens.

    How hard it is to understand that GC made it clear at the time of taking your order that there will be no refunds what-so-ever?

    If I was you I'd activate the service again by paying $5, then come to LET and make a post for 'service-transfer" so at least you will get some money back.

    Pay 5$, restore the service and use the service, nothing more you can do.

    also there is a chance you can get some (most?) of your money back.
    In the same ticket ASK them (or wait for @NDTN to confirm here) that if you restore the service for 5$ would you be able to transfer it to someone (10$ / free) - this way you could 'resell' your server for like ~50%-70%-100% (depends how good of the deal you bought) to someone and have some/most/all of your money back.

    BUT FIRST ASK THEM IF THIS IS POSSIBLE.

    --

    @NDTN as I already tagged you personal question:
    Can you (or someone else) take a look at #538119 and confirm to me that my server in question is really transferable and not falls under Non-Transferable Services: Community-exclusive deals, giveaways, and free services are non-transferable.? I have a feeling it should be this, but uhmmm, support says I can :D Just double confirmation (-:

  • @sweetbed said:

    First of all, I didn't break anything. It's VPS services. not some phones. Second, If I book a hotel, if the hotel manager agrees to cancel my room service, they would for sure refund my money. And that's my point of view.

    I've booked plenty of hotel rooms that say no cancellations.

    Yes, and most of times, if the manager agrees to cancel your no-cancellations booking, they would provide refund services. Otherwise they would refuse your request, not like this.

    If the manager agreed to cancel it sure, but the manager wouldn't agree to cancel it because it's a no-cancellations booking.

    I disagree. Sometimes all you have to do is ask.

    You asked. The manager said no. This isn't one of those "sometimes".

    i don't understand the issue. i bought an iPhone, went home, realised that I'm not happy, i smashed it,.went to apple care to claim warranty and oblige apple care to enforce unto me that i don't have the discretion to destroy my phone and should refuse me when i was doing the act of destroying it

    You bought a service that clearly stated no refunds , what's so surprising when you don't recieve one? It is also your fault that you didn't ask them if a refund is possible beforehand

    Cancellation does not always mean you'll get a refund , in this case maybe the hotel manager reserved the room for you , and made sure to Hire staff so room services were available, so a refund wouldn't be possible because the resources were still reserved for you ?

    You do not know what's going behind the scenes and its always better to confirm everything , specially when it was clearly stated no refunds when you bought the service

    No They cancelled the room, And refuse to return my money. That's my point.

    No YOU cancelled the room, they just said goodbye.

    I've transferred in the past an anniversary greencloud VPS and the transfer was free (because it was my first transfer).

    My whole point is that I wrote the letter asking whether I could refund when putting the cancellation request. Because the website requies you to input the reasons so you may proceed. So when the cancellation request is granted, I thought they agreed. That's why when they refused to refund, I'm very upset.

    And everyone else's whole point is that the service was non-refundable and so it doesn't matter how nicely you ask for a refund, you won't be getting one.

  • And everyone else's whole point is that the service was non-refundable and so it doesn't matter how nicely you ask for a refund, you won't be getting one.

    I think it was OK to refuse my request in the first place. And told me that's nonrefundable however my request is. No acting like this.Without any communication letter, stopping my service and refusing the refund.

    Sorry i don't get it.

    You buy something - then YOU don't want it anymore and ask them to shut it off.
    They do - and as written in the TOS they cancel it and you don't get a refeund.

    Sorry for saying it that way - but YOU were under the assumption that you get your money back - you were wrong. Why blame them?

    You could have ask for a propper working produkt but you choose to cancel it.

    Take it as a life lesson.

    I wrote the letter asking if I can I get refund and they agreed.


    Request for Refund - 3-Year VPS Service (Account: [Your Account Name/ID])
    Subject: Urgent Request for Cancellation and Refund - 3-Year VPS Service Purchase (Invoice #1217773 )

    Dear GreenCloudVPS Customer Support Team,

    I am writing to formally request a cancellation and full refund for the 3-year VPS service I 8recently purchased on November 28, 2025.

    I sincerely regret the need to request a refund, especially for a long-term commitment, and I hope you can understand the difficult position I am in. I made the initial purchase with genuine enthusiasm and high hopes for using your services for the coming years.

    However, two significant issues have arisen that have caused me to have serious security and usability concerns, which ultimately led to my decision to seek a cancellation:

    🔒 Critical Email Verification Issue
    My primary and registered email address for this service is a China Mobile affiliated email (ending in @139.com or similar). Despite multiple attempts, I have never received a single verification or essential security-related email from your system to this address.
    This failure to receive critical security communications, such as password reset links or important service notifications, creates a major security vulnerability for my account. As I cannot reliably verify my identity or receive alerts, I have profound safety concerns about continuing to use this service for a long-term commitment.

    ⚙️ Usability and Service Reliability Concerns
    Before making this long-term investment, I tested the VPS by setting up a Docker environment, which is crucial for my intended use. Unfortunately, I found that the Docker containers I deployed were unable to connect and function normally.
    While I take responsibility for my initial hasty decision to commit to three years, these two technical roadblocks—especially the inability to receive critical security emails—have made me realize that the service, in its current state, is not suitable for my needs or offers the security level required for a multi-year investment.

    I understand that a 3-year commitment is substantial, and I appeal to your team's understanding and goodwill. I am not requesting this refund on a whim but due to genuine, critical technical issues that directly impact my security and the core usability of the service.

    I purchased this service on impulse, and I truly regret the resulting situation for both myself and your team. I sincerely ask for your help and flexibility in approving a full refund, given that these issues surfaced immediately upon attempting to use the service.

    Thank you for taking the time to review my request and for your understanding. I look forward to your positive response regarding the cancellation and refund process.

    Sincerely,

    Ok - different story.

    So they accepted your request?

    Then they would have to accept all of it - Canclation AND request.

    Just ask them to re-enable the machine.

    Didn't it instantly tell you that your request went through? How could you think someone had read your text in under a second? I've cancelled servers before, I assumed nobody even reads what I write there.

    Not instantly as you said. Maybe it takes like serval hours? I could not remember the exact time. But I'm quite sure it takes some time to grant my cancellation request.

    Why would you assume that? You can cancel your service at any time but it doesn't automatically mean you're getting a refund.

  • Can I ask for refund when my servers are idle 99.9% of the time? :s

  • Why would you assume that? You can cancel your service at any time but it doesn't automatically mean you're getting a refund.

    Because I have paid for my service. If I'm not asking for the refund. I could just put the server in idle. Why bother writing long letters and initiate the refund process?

    Cancel immediately first, then try asking for refund afterwards.
