Review of Buy Me a Coffee
HORRIBLE!!! I sent money to a YouTube friend in Mauritius, she didn’t receive it. I had to email this poorly run company more than 6 times to get a real Info. Then they told me they had refunded my money, only it’s not in my account. Looking more & more like a giant scam. If they don’t find my money, I will file a police report.

Dear Jeani, I want to clarify that refunds are only processed for creators' accounts if they are deactivated due to a violation of our terms. If we've informed you that the amount has been refunded, it can only be sent to your registered account. Could you please check your bank account to confirm? I can send you the refund receipt if you still can't find it. Please email me at aleesha@buymeacoffee.com.

Great for donation and audiance support for youtubers and content creators.
This is the first platform I received support for my creations. I believe, the idea of a cup of coffee gives people ease on tipping money. Great community and support.

Hi there! Thanks for your patience. I just heard back from our team and unfortunately, the decision to ban your account is permanent due to high-risk concerns about multiple failed transaction reports from our payment processor. I hope you understand, and super sorry about all of this.
Unfortunately, our team was unable to payout your balance as this will be against the Terms of Use. Our payment processor will be initiating a refund of your outstanding balance and payments back to your supporters after 30 days from account deactivation. Alternatively, you can refund the payments back to your supporters and afterward, this should take 5-10 business days to reach their respective balances."
This is the final verdict as trusted people wanted to fund me, please remove this company from reality, I had shared everything and complied with everything, and gave all the details they requested. They collected the rest of my supporter's money and decided to steal them. This company should be sued for its expertise in stealing people's funds. All they conclude is super sorry that they are stealing my faithful supporter's fund. Please someone bring them to the court and remove them from existence. They do not allow you to explain the suspicious failed payments, etc... They are the ones who did not allow the payment to go through. Therefore, they are banning me so I cannot use BMC and so should many people stop using them too.
Thank you for confirming. This payment pattern often occurs during credit card testing, and as a precautionary measure to safeguard our creators from fraudulent activities, our team temporarily suspends accounts. However, since you have identified the supporter and verified that it is a valid payment, I have personally reached out to the team and reactivated your account.
I'd appreciate it if you can remove the negative review about our company. As a small company every review matters to us. Thanks agains for your patience.
Thanks,
Aleesha
Co-founder, Buy Me a Coffee - new update, please read the reply after!
This company is a joke. After 2 years of having money transferred to my account, I am unable to withdraw them because they don't support payments to EU country Bulgaria. Imagine the scam in this stupid company.
Hi Your Coach, I see that this is an old review. Just to let you know, we've introduced more payment methods, allowing withdrawals to over 150+ countries.
Review of Buy Me a Coffee
I have started using buy me a coffee and love how easy it is to use! Can't wait for new features and updates!
Buy Me a Coffee is a trustworthy platform to receive donations from your fans and also sell your products. Although my first payout was delayed, I eventually got paid. I must admit the payment came as a surprise as I'd already concluded I'd never receive it. So the platform can be trusted.
Pretty good tool if you want to receive tips or initiate a conversation. If your purpose is limited to such a use case, BMC will serve the purpose. If you want more, you will have to hunt for more comprehensive alternatives.
Hi Kritarth, thanks for leaving the review. I wanted to highlight what makes BMC unique. We're not just a donation tool – we offer an entire suite of features to help you monetize your content.
With BMC, you can set up a Shop to sell digital or physical items, create Memberships for recurring revenue, offer Commissions for services, and even set up a Wishlist to get your items funded. Beyond that, we have a range of publishing tools like Posts, Gallery, and Podcasts, and even an inbuilt email tool to help you build your email list.
With all these features offered at an affordable price, why look elsewhere when we provide everything you need to grow and monetize your content? :)
