    Why is this refund denied
    Customer posts in the structural engineering category, but when I speak to him, he's looking for a contractor. I'm not a contractor, so I shouldn't have to pay for this.

    Remove Direct Leads
    I'd like to remove the direct leads function and just receive the general leads that you pay ONLY if the prospect replies. The direct leads are not working out.
