Resolved after escalation — worth knowing the PayPal limitation upfront

Updating my earlier review. After my initial complaint, Lizenzero responded constructively and offered a clear path to resolution.
The underlying cause turned out to be a technical limitation: their payment processor only accepts PayPal payments through a link generated when an order is placed manually through the customer portal. Auto-generated renewal invoices can only be paid via bank transfer. My annual PayPal payment, made the same way I had paid every year since 2022, could not be processed against the new invoice for that reason — which is why they refunded it.
Worth noting: the unauthorised refund cost me approximately $3.00 in PayPal currency conversion fees (USD → EUR → USD). Lizenzero offered a 10% discount code for a future order, which should offset that loss at next renewal — though a direct credit would have been a cleaner fix.
To their credit, Lizenzero agreed to cancel the invoice so I could re-enter the volumes manually and pay via the PayPal link, waived the €2 late fee, and offered the goodwill discount mentioned above.
My honest feedback for anyone reading: PayPal is still publicly listed as an accepted payment method on lizenzero.de, and it is shown as the method on file in the customer portal, but in practice it only works when the order is created manually. Until that is clarified on the website and in the portal, other long-term customers will likely run into the same situation. If you renew annually, place the order through the portal first — do not wait for the auto-generated invoice if you want to pay via PayPal.

Revising my rating to reflect the constructive resolution.

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide a detailed update to your review! We’re glad we were able to offer you constructive assistance and appreciate your patience regarding the technical issues. The technical limitation with the payment is truly unfortunate, and we’d like to take this opportunity to apologize once again. We’re glad we were able to find a solution together.

Scammers

They didn't answer my emails and waited until the yearly termination deadline passed to respond and I had to wait another year with a contract with them.

They didn't make it clear (even though they said they did) that we need 3 months cancellation period! So now, we are closing the company and not shipping to Germany, yet they are insisting we owe another €50 (€39+VAT) for a service we don't want need! Its been a good experience up to this point, so its a shame they soured it at this point. Add into that our family health issues, I haven't exactly been thinking about which stuff I need to cancel!

Thank you very much for your evaluation.

In our order process, we make it clear at various points that this is a continuing licence agreement. This logic of a renewing contract for packaging licensing is, by the way, the usual model for almost all system providers.

In addition, unlike many other providers, we allow you to look at our model contract BEFORE signing the contract, in which all conditions are noted transparently. We also rely on this and, in a B2B context, expect our customers to inform themselves about conditions and to comply with them - just as we are expected to do.

We regret that you have nevertheless received a negative impression of us and wish you all the best for the future.


Best regards,
Your Lizenzero-Team

SCAM with buzz words like eco and environment

This company binds you to a contract and then threatens you with debt recovery and penalties if you attempt to cancel. Do not engage with them. They claim to prioritise environmental concerns, but their primary focus appears to be on collecting fees. Additionally, they do not provide an appropriate method to report a zero kg usage when you wish to terminate their services.

Hello, our customer support team has already contacted you, and we are very happy that we were able to quickly find a joint solution to the problem. We can assure you that we would much rather focus on environmental protection than on contract cancellation periods. We look forward to continuing our co-operation! Best regards - The Lizenzero team

Shocking

Since I only send 1 or 2 parcels to Germany in a year, I decided not to renew the contract anymore but I still received the invoice for 2023 and the subsequent reminder with a 4 euro penalty, despite having contacted the assistance I receive another reminder with threat of lawsuit.
Despite the money thrown away, I still pay the invoice (but not the 4 euros) and just today I receive a reminder with the threat of legal recovery for just a measly 4 euros. Shocking..
I don't know how to get out anymore.

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY

Hello and thanks for your honest review!

We are very sorry about your bad experience with our service - you should definitely not have received a payment reminder for 4 EUR, this actually happened by accident. So sorry about this! We'll get in touch with you to clear up this situation!

Classic crooks

Crooks. Ripping off small businesses on Etsy in the name of recycling just because they can. Go rip off some other big greedy corporation, charge small businesses for the amount they actually send. You can't justify having to pay 39 euros for sending small items twice a year to Germany!! I bet they make tons out of earnest people, who just follow the Etsy rules. Not inclusive at all for small businesses, just another system in place to make it even harder for small businesses to survive.

I do not recommend them

I do not recommend them. they're proper crooks. Had to join as it was recommended by etsy, but as i send less than 5 kg of card a year, it was expensive, so i terminated in December after only joining in July where I already had to pay for a full year. I got another invoice warning in Feb, for another full year even though I had terminated, but they said because i hadn't terminated by september (who would? I had only just joined a few months previously!!) i was due to pay another year- even though i had by that point paid for another cheaper service. They're forceful and unmoving even though their service is basic at best for me, and i'm paying twice not even yet for a full years service. Avoid at all costs. The surprise subscription renewal is a load of crock and a really crap deal.
