I've purchased over 20 scripts I was a long time customer. Purchased another template that I felt would work for my next project paid $51.00.
But this time the script did not work? I did a little research and found out the Author (mlglobtechnology) made 5 scripts the same as the one I purchased with 5 different names. And none of them worked. I asked for a refund and my account was instantly blocked. I have Over 20 other scripts in my account and now I am blocked from updating them and or using them on my sites. I took photos and documentation and proven my case to be true. I asked the author for a refund from my PayPal account. Went through the entire 2 week process back and forth with author and PayPal and finally WON my case. After following all the terms and conditions of envato market and winning my case themeforest.net (Envato USA Inc - envato market - envato.com) would not unblock my account. I received a email from Leonardo (Market) at envato showing that they did not care about PayPal investigation and are now blackmailing me that if I did not pay them the $51.00 back they will not unblock my account. And I will not be able to use any of the over 20 scripts I have purchased until I paid them them back the $51.00? This Is Blackmail! Since this black mail is happening PayPal has allowed me to ask for a refund for all scripts I PURCHASED IN THE LAST 90 DAYS from this company, it was best help they can do. Which is three other scripts. PayPal now knows how this company is. I have lost multiple hundreds of dollars and time infested in all my purchased scripts. After reaching out to PayPal again Looks like I will be lucky recover 3 more scripts totaling over 50.00 within the 90 days. To avoid Blackmail Do yourself a favor and never purchase from them. You only have to look at site jabber and trust pilot reviews to see just how many people have themeforest/envato have scammed. I wish I had this information long ago?

Tip for consumers:
I have much invested in these scripts and because I won my case I am being BlackMailed by themeforest.net (Envato USA Inc - envato market - envato.com) Leonardo (Market) at envato.
BUYER BEWARE this is a bad business.
I DO WONDER WHY A Professional COMPANY LIKE WordPress DEALS WITH CROOKS LIKE THIS? I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO WORD PRESS AND ASK.

Products used:
I lost over 20 scripts because they are Black Mailing me to pay them to use my scripts I have previously purchased
