A while ago I ordered a standard hosting at Gisol. My big luck was that I paid this with a Paypal account and not via my creditcard!!! After my registration at Gisol a salesperson called me by phone, telling me I had to pay more than 900$ because I had selected the “one time set-up” for having my website at searchengines. I told them that on their website the price for this one time set-up was 25$ not 900$. The salesperson told me this was a price / month and because i had selected an account for 3 years, this made 900$.

I was never planning to pay this 900$! So I told them to cancel my account and refund the money they allready took from paypal-account. Also because I still didn’t get the setup-mail with login and pasword. Gisol told me this could not be done, because they allready had ordered the search-engine thing at some kind of company, and that they allready had payed money for this. If i didn’t pay the 900$ within 1 day they would start a case against me.

At this time I had started to Google about GISOL. Everybody knows what i found at Gisol.. more than hundred simular cases.

So I started a dispute supported with Paypal. The day I started a dispute, Gisol mailed them with fake proof, that Gisol had send me setup-mail one day before i started the dispute. I asked Paypal to ask for any proof, e-mail confirmation or whatever. Because of Gisol could not send this kind of proof, Paypal returned me the money.

When companies get on a blacklist at Paypal… there accounts are canceled… I think that Gisol paid me back because of this fear. Credit Card companies should do the same as Paypal.

I was lucky that i paid for hosting with Paypal. Paypal supported me for 100% after my dispute with GISOL.
