How do I get a refund for a marketplace product that doesnt work?

Yesterday I purchased the procedural material toolkit and it just doesnt work. All this thing does is make a grey slime on your landscape.

I removed all the textures and turned of all optional extra stuff and still the same result.

There is virtually no documentation for this and it was a complete waste of money.

I would like my money back, how can I do this?

here is the product I am refering to.

tested on 4.8 and 4.9

I can’t comment on that particular item, but I do think the marketplace has a problem with substandard products. I bought some models which look great—from a distance. Get too close and you realise that the textures are very low resolution and only have a diffuse channel; not even a normal map. There is another product where reviewers are complaining about bad geometry, and getting that right is hardly rocket science. On the other hand, I got some models which are fantastic, probably better than anything I could produce myself.

Because of the problems, I’m reluctant to buy anything from the marketplace now. I might get something good, or I might throw my money away. I would be much more likely to buy if there was a straightforward way of getting a refund, or if there was a way to try the products before purchasing.
