Very frustrating, worst service ever

No assistance, worst service I have ever experience. I made a payment for Takealot using PayFast. Had done so many times previously, but this time they did not pay Takealot. At first I thought the problem was with Takealot and contacted them, also very frustrating: They just reckonded it is my responsibility to proof payment, which I did. After 3 days I received an email with a 'ticket' from Payfast and a second email saying that Takealot was paid, but still looking at my order 'Payment awaiting'. So Takealot emailed me saying I must phone the agent at PayFast. I phoned PayFast and the agent said Takealot must phone them. I am the client, but they refused to give me any assistance. Will never use PayFast again. Even trying to get a contact number would have been impossible, was it not for Takealot giving me one. I am still 'awaiting' and my granddaughter will not receive her pram and doll on her birthday.

The funds have cleared to Takealot and therefore no longer with us, at Payfast. You would be required to request a refund directly from Takealot. Apologies for any confusion caused.
