E-commerce merchants prevent cancellations through buried no-cancellation policies and then refuse to cooperate with credit card chargebacks, trapping consumers in unwanted orders. Even same-day cancellation attempts are blocked by merchants who have designed systems to prevent order reversal. Credit card issuers often side with merchants, leaving consumers with defective or unwanted goods and no refund.
