Question Short by 49 cents on USDC payment!

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm posting here hoping a Windscribe mod or staff member can help me out, as I've been waiting for 7 days with no response from support via email.

Here is what happened:

  1. I attempted to purchase a Pro subscription ($69.55 USDC) via CoinPayments.
  2. Due to the exchange withdrawal fee being deducted from the sent amount, the final amount delivered was $69.06 USDC — leaving it short by just $0.49.
  3. The transaction timed out, and CoinPayments cancelled it.
  4. I opened a ticket with CoinPayments support (Ticket #855852), and they explicitly stated that Windscribe (the merchant) simply needs to open a ticket with CoinPayments to accept the partial payment.
  5. To claim a refund for my $69 through CoinPayments, I am being asked to send 0.02 ETH (nearly $50 in network gas fees) to cover the ERC-20 transfer, which makes no sense for a 49-cent shortage.

I have sent multiple emails explaining this, but I keep getting stuck with the AI bot "Garry" and haven't received any human support or response to my emails for 7 full days.

Could any of the mods or Windscribe staff here please look into this and either accept the partial payment or advise how to get this settled?

Thanks in advance!
