PayGate/Payfast are useless with communication

Terrible experience using pay gate/pay fast. I made a mistake of clicking pay gate/pay fast instead of pay flex. I immediately contacted Lizzard to cancel the order and process the refund so I could order using the correct platform. They came back to say payfast/pay gate cannot locate my funds (getting this reply took ages as they weren't getting a response from payfast/pay gate). I then had to send proof thay the purchase actually went through and wasn't cancelled. They then located my funds and said they would process the refund. Still no word regarding my refund despite multiple emails on my behalf from Lizzard. This whole issue started on the 25th of Sept. My emails go unanswered, they don't pick up the phone, and you can't use the live chat to message them as that's for merchants only. Overall, disgusting customer service, 0/10 do not recommend.

Thank you but how much longer is this going to take? It has been almost two weeks already. It shouldn't be this complicated

I am yet to receive any direct communication from payfast despite my emails. The customer service is poor, and leaves much to be desired

Thank you, I would really appreciate it if we could please sort this out once and for all. It is a lot of money to hold onto.
Preferable via email as I am on shift.

Please note that if there is not a resolution reached today, that I will be filing a dispute with my bank and have the money resolved.
