Not even joking rn I'm sitting here staring at my stripe dashboard watching my money disappear. Woke up this morning to seven chargebacks. seven. all from orders I shipped last month. all showing delivered. all customers claiming fraud or item not received. The kicker, one of them called me last week to ask about reordering. Literally called my business number to place another order. and now they're saying they never authorized the first purchase. I'm literally about to have a breakdown lol like I've been working 80 hour weeks to grow this thing and in one morning I just lost an entire weeks profit. My wife thinks I'm crazy for still doing this. Somebody please tell me this gets better or that theres a way to actually fight this because right now I feel like I'm just running a charity for scammers. How tf are you guys not going insane dealing with this?
