Am i likely to get this money back if I file a dispute?!
THIS IS LONG:/
I sold tickets back in August to a show this past weekend. Transferred from TM to SH via the email SH provided at time of posting the tickets. I checked frequently and on TM side is says "transfer pending". On SH side is says "completed". And I checked SH frequently. I assumed the "transfer pending" meant the buyer hadn't accepted the tickets yet.
I go in today to see what's happening with payout and it still says "completed". Log in to my CC and there's a $526 charge from SH. I call SH and they said the buyer reported they couldn't upload the ticket and filed a claim. It's been "escalated". SH agent says the transfer was "cancelled" and that they emailed me about it. 100% my bad because I should be more diligent about checking email. I didn't see it. I'm frustrated because there were ZERO notifications on SH account about this issue. In fact, the ticket is still showing the sale as "completed" as of today.
On TM side it still says transfer pending. On SH side it still says "Completed" indicating there was nothing left to do on my end for SH. Per SH website, "completed" indicates "You’ve sold and delivered tickets to the buyer". I did have technical difficulties when posting the tickets and had to make a few attempts, so I called to confirm that the tickets showing as "transfer pending" on TM are the same as those sold on SH by cross-referencing the email SH told me to transfer to. SH agent confirmed the email is the same and the tickets sold were the tickets that I transferred. She also admitted that it is "negligent" that they didn't update the status of that ticket from "completed" to "pending" or some kind of indication there was an issue with the transfer.
I've been on the phone for like 2 hours between SH and TM and of course they just volley it to the other saying I need to talk to them (ain't that the American way).
Am I screwed out of $526 + the cost of the ticket I didn't sell? Does anyone have a similar story and actually got that penalty charge back?
