Reporting a Problem
As a buyer, how I do I report a problem with a transaction?

If you have problems with your transaction, please contact the guru directly via SeekYourGuru “Send a Message” to work toward a resolution. If the guru does not respond to your Messagess, and you believe that the coaching session did not occur as promised, you may file a Transaction Report. If you paid with PayPal, you may contact their customer support to inquire about a claim for refund. Please use the feedback system to review the guru's service.
