    Hi. My son and the sitter had left out the bag of Dasuquin and my husky ate the 1/4 bag and got sick, diarrhea and profuse vomiting. This happened while I was away at work. The veterinarian stated that probably not a toxic mix, but that if the measures that he prescribed didn't work, I'd bring my dog to his normal vet for blood tests of his liver. He suggested ** to calm his stomach and a bland diet of chicken and rice and a tablespoon of pumpkin to firm up the stools. My dog is doing 100% better with little or. No side effects from ingesting the Dasuquin. Thank you for your timely suggestions and thoughts.

    I have been having pain in my left leg when walking for exercise, not any other time. The pain is excruciating and goes away when I stop walking, nothing else helps. It resumes when I resume walking. I consulted with a neurologist and he gave me his diagnostic impression and recommendations. I now know what to do and hopefully will get further help.

    I received a quick and accurate appraisal of the value of my antique. Before contacting JustAnswer I tried three other appraisers. In spite of what they said on their websites, two knew nothing about my porcelain. While the third appraiser offered a quick response I got the impression that he did not do any research. The JustAnswer appraiser researched the item and offered an accurate appraiser. Great service.

Previously I had tried to troubleshoot the issue but could not determine the exact cause. Bryan stayed with me as I followed his directions to determine the root cause.

    I went to this site to ask a tax question. As directed, I typed in my question and received a response telling me that I would need to pay a $5.00 deposit to have my question forwarded and then it would be $33.00 to receive the answer. I put in my card info and the site closed me out. I received nothing. Of course, I immediately checked my bank account and sure enough, the entire $38.00 had been debited. I called and spoke to "Ivy" who told me that somehow my question had been answered and that an account had been created. She wanted my email to look up my account. I told her that I didn't give an email or a password and I never received an answer to my question.

    She insisted that there was an account, apparent in purgatory somewhere and that she would help me access it. I want my money refunded. At this point, I don't have any faith in this site or its people. I wouldn't trust any answer. The correct thing to do would be to have refunded the portion for the answer that I didn't get. The initial $5.00, I agreed to. DO NOT PAY THESE PEOPLE. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR FINANCIAL INFO. Now, I have to call the bank because lord only knows what else they'll try to charge for.

It kind of sounds like you didn't finish registering the account when you were going through the process of posting your question and it sounds like a guest account might have been created.

    If you didn't provide an email address when proceeding through the registration process, there is no way for us to notify you that you have received a reply from an Expert.

    We'll reach out to you using the contact information that you provided here and attempt to gather other pertinent details that we'd need to locate your account.

    I specifically came to JustAnswer.com because I needed to verify before purchasing aftermarket wheels that no problems would be caused by changing the size from staggered 18" X 8" front and 18" X 8.5" rear to 18" X 8" all around. The mechanic said, "You will not lose any stability and would not notice the difference in race cornering situations, not normal or even fast driving." Based on this answer, I proceeded with the purchase. Now the car vibrates terribly at highway speeds and has become dangerously unstable. In a subsequent consultation with a different JustAnswer.com expert, the mechanic said, "They (the wheels) are staggered for a reason, your mechanic gave bad advice." Pardon me, but that's exactly why I used JustAnswer.com in the first place. Now I'm going to be out $1,500 for non-refundable wheels and tires that can't be used, as well as labor costs.

    Thank you for getting in touch with us about this. We apologize for any confusion that you experienced.

    We can see that you did indeed opt out of the membership on the same day that you had enrolled and I want to assure you that you will see no recurring billing.

    The charges that you are seeing are the charges related to the question that you posted to the site about your Dog, a Vet responded and gave you feedback regarding the medication that your dog had accidentally consumed. It also appears that you provided a bonus to the Vet for their assistance after you rated them positively.

    We will reach out privately to discuss your account with you and make sure that any lingering questions that you might have are resolved.

    Hello Lisa,

    Thank you for reaching out to us about this.

    We're glad to hear that you were happy with the assistance that you received from the technician but we’re truly sorry for any confusion caused by our billing system and we’d like to take a moment to explain how customers pay for our service using PayPal.

    Before posting a question on JustAnswer, PayPal customers are asked to provide a deposit for the full amount of the question. This amount can vary depending on the category the question is asked in, and the amount of detail you request for your answer. The reason behind this deposit is to assure both the Expert and the customer that the transaction will be successful.

    Customer are asked to authorize the charge twice prior to the charge actually being processed. once on the payment page on our site, and a second time on the payment authorization page on the PayPal payment portal.

    We're happy to address any further concerns that you may have and we will be sure to review the call that you had so that we can be sure that our Customer Care agents are responding to customer concerns with the utmost courtesy.

    If we can be of any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach back out to us at support@justanswer.com or by phone at 1-800-509-5721

    Thanks for getting in touch with us about your recent experience on the site. We hope that Mia is feeling better by now.

    We'd like to apologize for any confusion that you experienced in navigating the payment on the site. The $23.00 was not the value of a phone call offer on your account, instead, it was the remaining deposit for speaking to the Vet.

    This information is presented to customers on the payment page where you entered your billing information and is presented at various other places as well. The Order History page will detail all charges associated with a single conversation, and you should also have received a receipt email detailing the charges.

    Hello J,

    Thanks for reaching out to us about this experience. we apologize for any confusion. An initial $5 deposit is required at the time the question is posted and the balance of the question price is collected once an Expert responds to the question. This information regarding the deposit is displayed on the page where you are prompted to submit your payment details and questions are posted only when you acknowledge and accept the payment terms.

    It does seem like you unintentionally opted into the membership program which is what the third charge was for.

    At this time I can confirm that we've refunded all but the initial $5 deposit at your request.

    We bought tires from a tire store. They had advertised sales and discounts. We were denied them by the manager. The total was 686.00 on the invoice, our credit card was charged 869.00. We complained to the credit card company and filed a dispute. That manager then added 2 more charges in retaliation for 125.00 and 75.00. Finally the manager forged our signature electronically on all the invoices and sent them to the credit card company, with these signatures the credit card company sided with the Tire Store.

    I remembered "JustAnswer", went online and presented our frustrating problem. We were given the information from a savvy Lawyer that ours was a case of Fraud, for being denied the discounts and adding extra charges without our approval. Forgery, for electronically forging our signature on invoices we never approved nor asked to sign for. Identity Theft, for adding charges we never approved and for taking signatures from other documents and electronically transferring them to documents we never signed. Now they want to talk to us and show us how all is justified. We told them "tell it to the judge in small claims court and convince the judge". This is going to small claims. Were it not for "JustAnswer" we would have done nothing about this injustice. Thanks!

    Hello Vickie, thank you for the feedback you have provided. We're very sorry that the Expert was unable to resolve your computer issue and that you had confusion over the charges on your account. You posted two different questions on our site on a pay-per-question basis ($47 + $58), plus you paid for a remote session which was $20. We checked your account and found that all of your payments have been refunded for you, including the February membership payment for $68. The funds have been returned to your PayPal account.

    We apologize if there was any confusion over the free trial period. The free trial does not include any questions that are already posted on your account. After checking your account we can see that you didn't sign up for the free trial until after you had already posted two questions on our site.

    It also looks like you had some difficulties with your follow-up questions because they were posted on new question pages. In order to receive assistance from the original Expert, you need to return to the original question page. By opening up new question pages you get directed to different Experts and it can get quite confusing.

Most question pages time out after 7 days, so if you need to have more time added to your question page you can contact support@justanswer.com to ask for your question to be reopened and to have more time added. If your follow-up questions lead off into other areas it would be appropriate to open up a new question page, since you have a new topic to discuss. This ensures that you are connected with the right kind of Expert and that the Expert is fairly compensated for the time spent answering your questions.

    Thank you for using our service, we really appreciate it.

    Refrigerator Water Filter - I got a useful recommendation, but on closer examination it turned out to be wrong. I was told I needed a new filter housing and it looked like that was where a leak was coming from. However, it turned out to be a crack in a hose feeding the filter. I think the technician should have mentioned other possibilities and suggested a way to sort it out.

    Response from JustAnswer

    Hello Joseph, thank you for the feedback you have provided. Sometimes it can be difficult to nail down an exact cause of a leak since the customer has to be the eyes and ears for the Expert. The best way to handle this kind of situation is to provide additional feedback to the Expert (explain how their suggestion did or didn't work), and then the Expert can continue to provide suggestions of other things you can try. Customers can still continue their conversation with the Expert, even after giving a positive rating, if they need further assistance. In the future, you can contact our customer care team if you need further assistance from the Expert and need to have your question page re-opened or to have more time added to your question page. The email address for our customer care center is support@justanswer.com.

    Hello Lindsey, we're very sorry for any confusion over the payment structure. Customers who pay using a credit card will pay a small deposit, with the remainder being charged when an Expert responds. Customers paying by PayPal have to pay the whole deposit upfront because PayPal requires the username and password to your PayPal account. So, you can see how paying via PayPal is very different from paying with a credit card. Clearly, we need to improve the messaging to customers when they choose PayPal as their funding source.

    In any case, both PayPal customers and credit card customers have to pay the full deposit amount in order to unlock responses for viewing. The small deposit amount that credit card customers pay is a way of validating their credit card. Your deposit is covered by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If we're not able to get you a helpful answer you may request a refund within 30 days of payment.

    The Expert does not receive payment unless you are satisfied with their answer. Payment is not released to the Expert unless the customer gives their answer a positive rating.

    If you have further concerns or questions we would be happy to assist you. Please feel free to reach out to us at support@justanswer.com or you can visit our help center at http://ww2.justanswer.com/help . Be sure to ask for our admin. team.

In the top corner of my computer screen so I saw an advertisement for "JustAnswer" for computer problems with $30. But when we started there was another $7 fee for a total fee of $37 and I could feel that the advertised fee could escalate from there. They advertised 100% Satisfaction or Your money back guarantee. It was a service where the technician would gain access to the computer with me online and would work on the problem to fix it typing questions and answers back and forth.

    When I asked about the fee change I was not satisfied with the answer as it could increase rapidly from there without my permission as they did not tell me about the second fee. So, I decided to take the 100% money back and they did credit my bank account, But, now three days later I check my bank account charged a $52 fee and my problem was never resolved. The last when this happened I had to close my account, reopen a new one and contact all the companies that I use the credit card for and change the number and it took days to go online or call and change the credit card number.

I had used once before, 4 yrs ago, thought why not?

With the OEM part # I had part ordered online and will install myself when it arrives tomorrow.

    I have never been so angry about an online experience as the one I had at JustAnswer.com. I felt so rip offed and taken advantage of by them. I usually would not use a place like this, but I was in terrible pain after an intense back procedure and this site advertised that I could ask a neurologist a question. After I asked the question it then asked for $5 from my PayPal account to get the answer. I figured. Ok, this seems odd that a neurologist is working for $5 an answer but I am suffering. So, I clicked it, then it asked for $48 to join their membership, where you can ask questions all month & give them $48 every month. I unclicked that box.

    Soooo, my question goes through to an odd looking little guy that says something like Dr. **, Neurologist, under his pic. He asks, "How old are you? Do you want to talk live for $50?" Wow! I told them how old I was right in my question, so he obviously didn't read it and my question was one that could be answered w/o a call - first thing just trying for $$$. He looked sketchy, so I asked, "Are you actually a neurologist?" It was important to me as my question was about nerve damage & that's why I was willing to pay to ask. He said no!! Even though it said so all over the site and under his photo.

    I told him that I thought the site was a ripoff and was going to complain. The next day he offered a one sentence answer to my question that was ridiculous. I had already offered that answer as a possibility in my question. I got better more detailed help on Wikipedia. When I went to Customer Service to complain - I found out they had enrolled me in the $48 membership even though I didn't sign up for it. UGH. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHAM OF A BUSINESS! They are out to wring your $ from you for information you can easily find on your own much faster. Stupid & conniving. Please don't let them use you.

    Hello Robbie,

    I'm sorry to hear about the issue that you encountered with the doctor and the payment confusion. It looks like your question was posted to the General Medical category which is why you received a reply from an internist but the Expert should have referred the question to Customer Care to find you a Neurologist if that's what you were looking for, so we'll follow up with him about that.

    In checking your account I can see that you were able to process your own refund for the question through the use of the Self help tool. I can also see that you were never signed up for the membership program but I apologize if there was any confusion around that offer.

    We do hope that you've been able to get the assistance that you needed for your medical issue, it can often be helpful to set up a follow-up appointment with your doctor or the clinic that performs a procedure in order to ask questions about any complications.

    If you need any further assistance with your JustAnswer account or if we can be of any further assistance in anyway, do not hesitate to reach back out and we're happy to help.

    I am writing this to allow people to understand that even though there are many satisfied customers that use this site, there are also those who have not had a good experience and should be heard as well. I spoke with Emily, a Supervisor(**), on October 16, and explained that on September 22nd I used their service to get assistance for a computer problem. The "expert" logged into my computer and appeared to have fixed my issues. However, in only a day or two the same problem showed up and was worse than before. On September 29th, I had to pay another $55.00 fee for yet another "expert" to come back into my computer and attempt another fix. This guy spent over an hour working and seemed to know what he was doing. After he logged off and within 48 hours I was back to square one again, only this time being unable to access the internet at all.

    Emily promised to have someone contact me within 24 hours and speak with me by phone as they were going into my computer instead of trying to communicate via texting and after waiting 4 days and not receiving a call from anyone, I attempted to reach Emily. Had to leave a message for her as she was in an "important meeting" but have yet to hear from her and don't really expect to. Just be careful about using these guys as they are can't fix every problem, regardless of how many times they try but they have no issue with taking your money each time they try.

    Original Review: Oct. 13, 2017

    I contacted JustAnswer on September 9 and I was charged $5 for a "deposit". I was told that I would be charged an additional $24 and that $24 appeared on my next credit statement as being a "phone call" occurring on September 12. That's okay, but I also discovered on my credit card statement a charge of $31 on September 12 called "repairman". I have no idea what that's about.

    I feel like I was charged twice for the same service. But then on September 13, I received an email saying that I would be charged a monthly subscription fee of $31 on September 15 if I didn't cancel by then. I did cancel and they appear to have honored the cancellation, even though they continue to send me junk email. But, my complaint is that they charged me double and that it was preposterous for them to charge me yet again 2 or 3 days later if I didn't take any action. Buyers should be aware that JustAnswer will abuse the use of your credit card. I would never do business with them again.

    First of all I can see that you are not on a membership, so you definitely won't see any recurring billing. We can also get the marketing emails turned off for you as well. You should be able to unsubscribe from the bottom but we can also take care of that on our end.

    In looking at the question that you posted, it looks like there were two charges for the question. The $5.00 deposit for posting the question and then the remainder deposit was $31.00. The $24.00 was for the phone call with the technician. Phone calls do incur an Extra charge because the technician is only able to work with you while they are on the phone call and is not able to respond to other customers.

    We will reach out to you privately to go over other details of the account and work with you to find a solution that meets your needs.

Within another 10 minutes, I was in contact with a mechanic who walked me through possible solutions, and waited for me to try them. He pointed me in the right direction to get my problem solved.

    NEVER responded to my emergent question about my elderly cat. I submitted question on September 3rd and was never contacted by a veterinarian about my question. JustAnswer advertises 24/7 help available which couldn't be farther from the truth. I was able to manage my cat until our local vet's office opened. I have made three phone calls to JustAnswer complaining about their unethical business practices. I requested a refund. I paid through PayPal and it has now been 32 days since they billed me for services they never provided. Although they said they would refund my money, they did not. They said the problem was with PayPal. After contacting PayPal, I've learned that JustAnswer still has not processed a refund for me. I had to open a PayPal dispute. Such a hassle!! Customer service person, Alex, at JustAnswer would not allow me to speak to a supervisor. Thankfully PayPal is reputable and able to help.

    I needed to ask a question re a pair of Bose headphones. I authorized a $5 'refundable' initial payment. Then directed to a technician but was really a page asking me to sign up for a free trial, other timed 'help' etc. I then noticed in the fine print that proceeding to a technician would cost me $58 AUD. I didn't proceed and clicked off the page. Requests for a return of my 'refundable' $5 were ignored with cut and paste responses and further directed to the page to leave my credit card details which I already had done.

    I checked my account to see not one but two pending deductions. The second being for $58 which I DID NOT authorize. I just want to warn people about these thieves. I have had to cancel my card and lodge a complaint with my bank. When I tried to communicate with the technician I was offered a phone chat option for $37!

    Hello George,

    Thank you for reaching out to us here as well. I wanted to reassure you that all of the charges that you incurred for posting the question about your headphones were refunded the same day.

    It appears that there may have been some confusion or miscommunication about the charge for posting a question to the site so I'll try to clear that up here.

    There is a $5.00 initial deposit for posting a question to the website and the remainder deposit for the question is not charged until you receive a response from the Expert. In this case the remainder deposit for the electronics question that you posted was $58.00. It looks like you were able to reach out to one of our Customer Care agents to have the refunds processed, but customers also have the option to cancel their question and process their own refund at any time within the first 30 days from the Order History page.

    If you need any further assistance or have any other questions about your account, or the site, please don't hesitate to reach out to us and we're happy to help.

    Hello Wyatt,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us about this experience, I'm sorry for any confusion about the billing.

    In looking into your account it appears that you had posted several different questions and requested a phone call with one of the Experts, it also looks like you had opted into the membership and posted a follow up question under the membership as well. This was the cause of the various charges.

    In checking our logs it appears that you were able to contact our customer care team on the 3rd and 4th of September and I can see that we've processed a full refund for all of the charges at this time.

    I also took the extra step of checking with payment processor just to be sure and it seems as if the transactions have been accepted back by your card issuer, if you are not seeing the funds back in your account though, please reach back out to us and we'd be happy to set up a conference call with the bank or card issuer to see if anything else needs to be done.

    I had cause to use the service in relation to a TV problem and whilst the technician who responded gave me some useful advice I had no idea how much the service was going to cost me and was most unhappy when I saw the charge on my credit card statement online. The number of times pop ups appeared coaxing me to pay £22 for a telephone consultation as well as regular urging to take out an ongoing subscription were very obvious and were not taken up by me. This frequent and obvious highlighting of additional/alternative options seem a clear diversion from the alleged provision of charging information for the use of the service which was not given anything like the same prominence. If it had, I would not have continued in my use of the service - I did not expressly authorize anything other than the initial $5 payment.

    First: If I could rate this site lower than one star, I would. When I requested an answer it appeared that the cost would be $5.00. When I saw the actual charge, it was $45.00. I would have appreciated the opportunity to decline the amount prior to having the expert give the "answer" but the charge wasn't shown until I saw it on my account. Very deceptive. The site had pop-up after pop-up to entice me into clicking into a subscription service in which I was not at all interested. Even though I declined the opportunity to subscribe no fewer than 10 times, the pop-ups just kept on coming. I am not disputing the quality of the answer. I am reviewing the deceptive pricing model.

    I got fooled. I am warning, buyer beware-- don't be a sucker. Use Wikipedia!! I should have read the reviews before agreeing to payment. Live and learn. I hope that by posting this "review" I can keep others from being sucked in by the confusing charge-a-lot strategy that JustAnswer.com uses. They must not get a lot of repeat customers.

    Thanks for reaching out to us about this. I'm glad to hear that Josh was able to help resolve the printer issue that you were having but I'm sorry to hear about the confusion around the payment. I'll try to clear that up for you.

    An initial $5 deposit is required at the time the question is posted and the balance of the question price is collected once an Expert responds to the question.

    This information regarding the remaining deposit is actually displayed on the page where the customer is prompted to submit their payment details and questions are posted only when the customer acknowledges and accepts the payment terms.

    Josh responded to your question which is why you received a charge for the balance due, however, the Josh isn't paid unless you’re satisfied with the help received and rate the service accordingly.
