10-year customer: They took my money without my permission

I've WAS an Aweber customer for about a decade and now am NOT.

I decided to close my account and switch because Aweber's monthly fees get pretty steep as your list grows. But what gets them a mere two stars from me is what happened after I told two customer service reps (Amanda and Chris) to close the account and clicked "cancel plan" in the dashboard...

THEY KEPT TAKING MY MONEY. I confirmed on July 7th that I didn't want the account anymore and they took FOUR MORE payments out of my Paypal account over the next two months. I emailed them repeatedly telling them I didn't want the service anymore until I had Paypal block their autopayments. They ignored me for a while but finally responded, eventually Jo there offered me an apology and confirmed that they had made a mistake not canceling my account. But they refused to fully refund me the payments they took without my permission for a service I didn't want and hadn't used in months.

Fortunately, Paypal's dispute department (which can be hard to please) got me the money back as I provided them with all email threads confirming my side of the story.

It's wild to me that a company, because of greed and incompetence, would insist on screwing a +10-year customer when doing the right thing would have been so easy.

They get two stars because...
It's a very robust email platform with a ton of features for managing email optins and sending a newsletter to subscribers.
A few times I've had to contact customer service and they were very professional.

But...
I DO NOT recommend signing up for autopayments, as they may just keep trying to take your money.
Also, if you don't pay your AWeber bill for a month they hold your list hostage until you pay. So just export and backup your list with some regularity.

Deceitful pricing on their order page

Deceitful pricing on their order page. The order page shows a discount for quarterly and annual pricing, but it does not show the hidden monthly fee for the email subscriber list storage. It doesn't matter which amount of subscribers you choose on the pricing page, the order page will show you the pricing for only their 'email marketing & analytics' which doesn't include the hidden monthly fee.

They are a giant in this industry and …

They are a giant in this industry and deliver emails pretty good, but sometimes emails wind up in the spam folder for no good reason at all. Guess it's probably only so much they can control there. But although they're a the top of this field, there are more affordable email management options that can do an equal or better job. So my advice is not to get caught up by big names and do some research on other companies too in order t find the best most affordable solution for you.

Excellent Service

I had no experience in email marketing before I came across Aweber. I was able to build an email list for my business with easy to use capture pages. If you're new to email marketing, then I recommend Aweber.

I was banned but still think they are the best!

I used Aweber for my first 2 years on line when I was banned for too many complaints. I switched to 2 other leading autoresponer companies but found delivery at best 50% of that of AWeber!
I have just been reinstated after AWeber discovered that I had been targeted by 2 rivals to get me banned
