A charge from buyskyline.co on your bank or credit card statement is a billing entry tied to an online storefront operating under the name “Skyline Marketing,” and consumers have widely reported it as an unauthorized or unexpectedly recurring debit. If you don’t recognize the charge, the fastest way to get your money back is to call the number on the back of your card, report the charge as unauthorized, and ask your issuer to open a dispute while you’re still inside the chargeback window.
How the Charge Shows Up on Your Statement
Buyskyline.co is an e-commerce site that sells health and wellness products such as weight-loss patches and detox teas through subdomains like akemidetoxtea.buyskyline.co.1BBB. Scam Tracker Report 13316562Gridinsoft. Buyskyline.co Review The amounts people have seen range from $19.95 to $94.91.3BBB. Scam Tracker Report 1330523
The business ownership is hidden behind a privacy proxy, and the physical address tied to the business in at least one BBB complaint, listed in Alpine, California, appeared to be a private residence rather than a commercial location.4BBB. Scam Tracker Report 1324737
Why the Charge May Keep Coming Back
If this is your second or third buyskyline.co charge, you’re not alone. The complaint pattern across platforms is consistent, and it reads like a subscription trap.
- People describe making a single purchase and then finding monthly charges of $19.95 or $19.99 on later statements. Reviewers call this a “bait and switch” — a one-time purchase that quietly converts into a subscription.2Gridinsoft. Buyskyline.co Review
- Some buyers report that the quantity in their cart automatically increased during checkout, going from one to three items, inflating the total beyond what they intended to pay.2Gridinsoft. Buyskyline.co Review
- Orders are often reported as never arriving, arriving weeks late with invalid USPS tracking, or arriving unmarked and different from what was advertised.2Gridinsoft. Buyskyline.co Review1BBB. Scam Tracker Report 1331656
- Across nearly every complaint, consumers say the company’s phone numbers disconnect immediately and emails go unanswered, leaving no practical way to cancel or request a refund. One BBB report noted that phone staff “either does not speak English or refuses to talk and hangs up.”2Gridinsoft. Buyskyline.co Review4BBB. Scam Tracker Report 1324737
- At least one consumer reported trying three times to use the site’s “30-day satisfaction guarantee” and being offered discounted pricing instead of a refund each time; when they insisted on a full refund, the representative hung up.5Scam Detector. Buyskyline.co Review
Because reaching the merchant has not worked for the people who have tried, the realistic path to getting your money back runs through your card issuer, not the seller.
How to Dispute the Charge With Your Card Issuer
Call Your Bank or Card Issuer Today
Call the number on the back of your card, report the buyskyline.co charge as unauthorized, and ask the issuer to open a dispute or chargeback. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your liability for unauthorized credit card charges is capped at $50, and many issuers apply zero-liability policies that eliminate even that.6FTC. Using Credit Cards and Disputing Charges If you paid with a debit card, call your bank right away; debit protections are weaker and more time-sensitive.
If you’ve been charged multiple times, raise every charge, not just the most recent one. Ask the issuer to block the merchant from billing the card again.
Follow Up in Writing Within 60 Days
To preserve your full rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, send a written dispute to your card issuer’s billing-inquiry address (not its payment address) within 60 days of the statement date that first shows the charge.7CFPB. How Do I Dispute a Charge on My Credit Card Bill Include your account number, the amount and date of the charge, the merchant name as it appears on your statement, and a clear statement that the charge is unauthorized. Send it by certified mail or priority mail with tracking so you have proof of delivery.8California Department of Justice. Credit Cards: Dispute a Charge
Once the issuer receives your written notice, it has 30 days to acknowledge receipt and 90 days to complete its investigation. During that time, it cannot report the disputed amount as delinquent or try to collect on it, though it may note the charge as “in dispute.”6FTC. Using Credit Cards and Disputing Charges
If You Did Order Something and It Never Arrived
If you actually placed an order and the product never showed up or wasn’t what was advertised, you can also assert “claims and defenses” against your card issuer. This is a separate avenue from a billing-error dispute and carries a longer deadline of up to one year from the first statement showing the charge. The charge must be over $50, and you need to have first tried to resolve the issue with the seller. For online purchases, there’s no geographic proximity requirement. If a customer service representative denies this type of dispute by citing the 60-day billing-error window, push back; the California Department of Justice notes that applying the shorter deadline to a claims-and-defenses dispute is a common error.8California Department of Justice. Credit Cards: Dispute a Charge
If You Never Ordered Anything, Replace the Card
If the charge appeared without any purchase on your end, your card information has likely been compromised. Ask your issuer to cancel the current card and issue a replacement with a new number so no further charges can post.
Where to Report Buyskyline.co
Disputing the charge gets your money back. Reporting the business builds the record that regulators use to pursue enforcement.
- File a report with the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. The FTC doesn’t resolve individual complaints, but reports feed into the Consumer Sentinel database, which more than 2,000 law enforcement agencies can access.9FTC. Report Fraud
- File a complaint with your state attorney general’s consumer protection division. The National Association of Attorneys General maintains a directory at naag.org with links to each state’s complaint portal and consumer fraud hotlines.10NAAG. Consumer File a Complaint
- File a BBB Scam Tracker report to warn other consumers. Multiple reports about buyskyline.co have already been filed there.1BBB. Scam Tracker Report 1331656
Keep copies of everything: statements showing the charge, screenshots of the site or product page if you still have them, any email confirmations, and records of calls or chats with the seller’s customer service. Your card issuer and any agency you report to will ask for them, and they’ll strengthen your dispute.
