I have had $36.00 charged to my Pay Pal...

AI Highlights
  • - Unauthorized $36 charges on PayPal July 4 and debit card July 5 from Design.com.
  • - Bank flagged the merchant as spam; credits to PayPal and card.

I have had $36.00 charged to my PayPal account on July 4th and a charge to my debit card of $36.00 on July 5th from Design.com, 305 West Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, none of which was authorized by me. This caused a restriction on my card from my bank, as they have listed your company as possible spam.

Please issue a credit to PayPal and my card at once.

A site created to shell game you into a subscription, with a customer service department with well practiced answers to cover up their shadiness.

Updated by user Apr 23, 2026

I talked to livechat. They made great that a refund was available. They'd rather screw you over upfront , knowing that you won't return after.

Original review Apr 08, 2026
Please do not use Design.com, they intentionally make their wording imprecise so that you believe you are getting a logo when in fact you are paying for a subscription. For the same dollars spent, you could get a professional to create something simple for you and have the rights for life.

Instead they shell game you. If you contact them they will hit you with clearly practiced responses that they use on everyone who fell for their tactics. They have created a system to legally cheat you and if you get upset it doesn't matter because they don't have to refund you for the first month. Instead, they will offer discounts or different rates to try to get you to stay instead of having the decency to fix things.

If they had the trustworthiness to give a refund I would at least have left with a positive feeling about them.

Instead, I now will spend the time warning everyone about their tactics to assure that that others don't overspend, cancel in a day, and get no satisfaction. Design.com, more like Deny.com.

User's recommendation: Get a real artist that will listen to you and give you what you want without shady refund practices.

Very poor navigation - Subscription price hard to find

AI Highlights
  • - The site lures with 'free' design, but pricing is hidden until order; no support, and design transfer and payment flow are broken.

Don't use this company. The website is designed to pull you in by claiming you can design a card or logo for 'free,' but makes its prices available only -- it seems -- when you are ready to order.

Not sure, actually. I'm still reeling from the merry-go-round. I'd finished my design, but hadn't indicated upfront it was for a business card.

So when I tried to resize it ... no response.

Finally, after asking the site's AI, it turned out that I was having trouble because I hadn't paid. But ... a payment page hadn't ever DStaappeared! Then, when I started to sign up, it appeared that I couldn't transfer my completed design to my paid account.

Or at least I couldn't figure out how to. No one to call. And AI was no help. No way was I going to continue with these guys.

Just awful experience. Hours wasted.

User's recommendation: Stay away

No support; unable to delete unwanted designs/logos etc.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Most operations perform ok, but it is impossible to delete any designs in account and the Chat does not work in "Help"; and there is no phone number or email address for support

Cons:
  • No online-site support

Preferred solution: Response from company about lack of support issues

User's recommendation: Probably less frustrating to use a different web design/business start-up documents etc. service.

AI Highlights
  • - User designed a free business card; was told it would be $35/month, then charges appeared without consent; requests prompt disconnection and refund.
Updated by user Nov 08, 2025

They answered the email and I was able to find out that it wasn’t this company who had billed me for over six months. It was actually another company called logo.com and they did refund me three months. Take the time to find out exactly what Company is billing you and why as soon as it shows up.

Original review Oct 24, 2025
I went on your app one day because it said I could design a free business card. I did so, and after spending the time to create it, when I clicked on the next button, it told me it would be $35 a month forever.

I decided not to do it and clicked out of there. Shortly after that, I began getting a monthly charge in my business checking account for something I don't even have. Worse than that, there's no phone number for me to call to get this removed.

I never used the business card I designed or agreed to pay $35 a month for anything. This is very misleading for customers, and I need the service disconnected immediately, along with a refund for the months that they charged me.
Loss:
$280
Pros:
  • Logo design
Cons:
  • Fees charge for services rendered do not match

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Proceed with Caution!

Why was your banking information entered?

reply icon Replying to comment of Guest-2783517

Prior to entering my banking information I was told that I had a free trial on your website but I needed enter that information then after I saw it was $35 a month forever I exited the site. I didn’t agree to anything.

I am sure this is not the first time this has happened. Your website is not clear. It doesn’t make sense to pay you $35 a month ongoing for an item.

I can get somewhere else for one price one time. Why would I do that?

I’m not with Design. Was just asking.

I would dispute the charge with your bank if you haven’t already. That’s not right at all.

OH YOU REALLY ARE STUPID. This is a general complaint site. No one replying works for the company you are complaining about.
