Money Back Guarantee
To further increase your credibility, you must completely remove your potential customer's risk. Provide them with a solid, no risk, money back guarantee.

Don't take it personally or try to argue the point with your customers, simply give them a refund. You may be surprised to learn that the customers who ask for a refund may purchase other products from you in the future.
