Domestika Anmeldelser 

On December 10, 2025, I purchased one course from Domestika and paid a total of 49 TL for this transaction. The description of the transaction reflected on my credit card statement was "Order C5110**19T33503436". During the purchase, I only made payment for this single course and did not consent to any subscription or recurring payment.

However, on January 10, 2026, I noticed an unauthorized deduction of 6,400 TL from my credit card by Domestika under the code "Order C5158**62T33959279". Despite the requirement for at least 7 days' prior notification as stated during the initial purchase, I received no email or SMS notification whatsoever. Additionally, I provided no written or verbal approval for this payment.

While Domestika presents itself as a platform offering affordable knowledge and education to people, I believe this practice of high-amount, unauthorized, and un-notified collections under the guise of low-cost course sales misleads and victimizes users. The claim of providing education at affordable prices is overshadowed by such unfair practices, completely eroding our trust. Many Turkish academics, scientists, artists, and experts in their fields share knowledge on this platform, yet such practices tarnish their credibility and cast their efforts under the shadow of misguided commercial policies.

I absolutely do not accept this collection, which occurred without my approval, knowledge, or consent. Moreover, it is both unethical and victimizing to make such a large deduction when I haven't even watched the courses I initially purchased.

I demand the immediate cancellation of this unauthorized transaction from my credit card and the full refund of 6,400 TL as soon as possible. Otherwise, I expressly state that I will initiate legal proceedings and exercise all my legal rights.

Scam - warning! If you buy a course for 1-10 dollar they steal 350$ from your Paypal - they have scammed hundreds of customers around the world. Don’t do my mistake and buy anything from them! No refund, no answer, no respect. 😡

Domestikaの課金システムには強い不信感を抱いています。
私は単発のオンライン講座を購入しただけでしたが、明確な同意・分かりやすい説明がないまま、年間サブスクリプション料金が自動で請求されました。
申込み画面では「年間契約」や「自動更新」であることが非常に分かりにくく、利用者が気づかないまま課金される仕組みです。
これは**意図的に誤認を招く設計（ダークパターン）**と言われても仕方がないと思います。
現在、返金および請求取消を求めて対応中ですが、同じ被害に遭う方が出ないよう投稿します。
Domestikaを利用する方は、
✔ 自動更新の有無
✔ 年間契約への切り替え
✔ 解約条件
を必ず細部まで確認してください。
「知らないうちに年間契約になっていた」というケースが他にも起きないことを願います。

I was charged $327.52 USD for an annual Domestika Plus renewal. This was not intentional—I missed the trial cancellation deadline.
What matters: I cancelled immediately (same day) and I have unused credits (no courses redeemed).
I contacted support right away, but received a standard response pointing to terms instead of a clear refund decision.
I’m sharing this so others are aware: the renewal is easy to miss and the support response felt unhelpful. I’m still requesting a refund for a same-day cancellation with no usage.

⚠️ Mi experiencia con Domestika fue pésima.
Me siento completamente decepcionada y frustrada. Compré un curso y terminé con un cobro que nunca autoricé: me activaron un plan anual sin dejarlo claro en ningún momento. La página me pareció confusa y poco transparente.
No volvería a confiar en ellos y me parece importante que la gente sepa esto antes de poner sus datos o pagar algo.
Ojalá mejoren su manera de informar y respetar a los usuarios, porque no está bien jugar con la confianza de la gente.

It doesn’t exist. You get one message from a bot

I am in Texas USA, i purchased a .99c class and they removed $349. 00 out of my account. They did reply to my email and basically said no we are not refunding you. Absolute scam!

less than a star!
scam site
took money out of my account without prior warning and will not respond to my messages

SCAM! I was misled by Domestika’s €0.99 course promotion, which came with hidden terms and conditions. There was no clear option to request a refund, and their customer service appears entirely unreliable—responses are automated and unhelpful. The platform seems to operate like a coordinated scheme, fabricating success stories and reviews to promote their courses. Please be cautious and share this information widely. This kind of deceptive practice should not be allowed to continue.

I was scammed. YEARLY ubscription hidden behind a promotion. Domestika does not answer and PayPal rules in favour of Domestika. Shame on you both.

Awful! Beware. A £1.34 session and without permission £280 taken a month later through PayPal
No recourse. No refund.

Wow, I come to check and same here-no possibility of refund or extension even if I was never able to use the subscription cause I always work. I am a creative and would have loved to check some courses when ready, not this way.

Mientras más firmemos la petición que está a continuación, más efectivos podremos ser ante este engaño que realiza Domestika
No puede ser que tantas personas caigan en la misma situación y nadie nos dé una respuesta favorable.
Me han quitado 265$ por una suscripción anual que nunca aprobé. Y solo había comprado dos cursos en oferta que no llegaban a 10 $, Y cada día, son más y más los casos en donde caen personas incautas y les sacan de sus cuentas, la cantidad de dinero que ellos quieren, y no tienes derecho a reclamo!!

I'm in the same boat as everyone here. Bought two courses for 2,22 dollar. Pressed pay on Paypal. One month later, i get a mail from paypal that I allowed 350,54 purchase that i never allowed.

Seems like with the 2,22 dollar payment, you also sign up for a Plus subscription and if you do not cancel this within 30 days, they automatically extend for a year and they can charge this with no extra consent from your paypal. After that you can not cancel or ask for a refund. Domestika does not allow this and they are not reachable.

Obviosuly these are misleading and scamming practices. And paypal is going with it, it seems. I have made declaration at dutch law and fraud organisations, and i have wrote a long letter to Paypal. My case is now under investigation. My last option is to contact my bank and explain them the same, but let's see what paypal comes back with.

In short: DO NOT ENGAGE WITH DOMESTIKA!

Absolut miese und hinterhältige Masche! Intransparente Gestaltung! Mir wurden von Domestica Inc. fast 260 Dollar abgebucht - für nichts! Dieses Unternehmen betrügt Menschen... in meinem Fall sogar einen sehr kranken und bedürftigen Menschen für den es durch diese Abbuchung extrem schwer wird. Wie kann man nur so verbrecherisch handeln? Vorsicht vor diesem Unternehmen!
Update zur Antwort: Auch bei mir wird die Standardantwort kopiert. Und nein, es ist nicht transparent und es gab und gibt keine E-Mail bevor der Probezeitraum abläuft. Des Weiteren habe ich innerhalb des Probezeitraums gekündigt und ich habe das Konto bzw. den Kurs nicht genutzt. Es ist ein absolut mieses Geschäftsgebaren, was auch die vielen schlechten Bewertungen hier, die Bewertungen bei Facebook und in Foren unterstreicht. Es gibt sogar eine Petition gegen dieses Unternehmen...

Got scammed by their 0.99 course bait with hidden t&c. No option to refund and their customer service are all bogus. You will not get real help because they work like syndicates - faking success and reviews with their website courses. Even the replies are automated and fake. Beware and spread this info to everyone. Domestika must be shut down!!!

I hope someone or some government agency shut this fraud company down. I was charged over 400SGD for a membership that I wasn't aware of when I purchase a cheap course for like a dollar plus. There is no value or what so ever in its domestika plus account. I hope this website burn to ground.

They have stolen $549.00 AUD from my account. About to dispute immediately
