Frequently asked questions
Cancel Selldirect: The Right Way
How to cancel Selldirect in south africa and reclaim your money
What Selldirect is and why you might want to cancel
Selldirect is a shopping subscription service that operates across South Africa via mobile app and web platform, offering deal notifications and exclusive discounts to paying subscribers. The service targets consumers who want to compare prices and discover retailer offers, charging a recurring monthly fee for access.
You might cancel Selldirect for several valid reasons: the deals no longer suit your shopping habits, unexpected charges appear on your bank statement, you prefer to shop independently, or you simply want to reduce your monthly spending. At Yafee, we recognise that cancellation should be transparent and hassle-free, and that your financial control and peace of mind matter above all else.
How Selldirect operates in south africa
Selldirect reaches South African customers through iOS and Android mobile apps, as well as a web-based platform. Despite its presence, the service does not publicly display clear cancellation procedures, refund policies, or subscription terms on easily accessible channels. This lack of transparency is precisely why Yafee exists: to guide you through the cancellation process step-by-step and protect your consumer rights.
Why transparency matters when you cancel
When you subscribe to any service, you deserve clear, upfront answers: How do I cancel? Will I receive a refund? What happens to my account data? Selldirect does not readily provide these answers through standard channels, leaving you to navigate cancellation alone. Yafee cuts through this gap by providing you with every cancellation route available right now, grounded in South African consumer law.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South African consumer protection law gives you statutory rights that apply regardless of what Selldirect's terms state.
The consumer protection act and your cooling-off period
The Consumer Protection Act (CPA), which came into force in 2011, is the primary statute protecting you as a South African consumer. Under the CPA, you have the right to fair and honest dealing, transparent information about services you purchase, and protection against unfair contract terms.
Furthermore, the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA), Section 44, grants you a cooling-off period for certain electronic transactions. This means you may cancel Selldirect within 14 days of subscription and claim a full refund, even if Selldirect's own policy does not explicitly offer one. This right exists in law and cannot be removed by the company's terms.
Your legal position: You are protected by statute, not by Selldirect's policy. If the company charges you without clear consent or refuses a lawful refund, the law is on your side.
When Selldirect breaches consumer protection law
Selldirect may breach the CPA if it fails to clearly disclose cancellation terms, charges you without proper authorisation, or refuses a lawful refund request. Breaches of the CPA trigger enforcement action by the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud (CGSO) and the National Consumer Commission (NCC).
Consequently, if Selldirect refuses to cooperate, you can escalate your complaint to these authorities at no cost. Do not assume that Selldirect's vague or absent policy means you have no rights. South African law protects you automatically.
Gather evidence before you cancel
Keep copies of your subscription receipt, all confirmation emails, account statements showing charges, and any correspondence with Selldirect. These documents become your proof if you need to claim a refund or lodge a complaint with the CGSO or NCC. Yafee recommends you collect these materials before you initiate cancellation, so you can escalate quickly if the company refuses to comply.
Methods to cancel Selldirect by platform
Your cancellation route depends on where you subscribed: Apple App Store, Google Play Store, web portal, or direct contact with Selldirect.
Cancel via apple app store (iOS)
If you subscribed through your iPhone or iPad, Apple manages your billing and subscription status, not Selldirect. This is your most straightforward cancellation route and typically takes under two minutes.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID profile picture or name at the top of the screen.
- Tap Subscriptions from the menu.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Find and tap Selldirect in the subscription list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple may offer options to downgrade or pause; select the option to cancel entirely.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
- Apple will display a final confirmation message and set an end date for your subscription.
Critical point: Deleting the Selldirect app from your iPhone does not cancel your subscription or stop charges. You must complete the steps above within Settings to disable auto-renewal.
Cancel via google play store (Android)
Android users who subscribed through Google Play Store must cancel through the Play Store, not the Selldirect app itself. Google handles all billing and subscription renewals for app-based purchases.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
- This is typically your account picture or initial letter.
- Tap Manage your Google Account or Payments and subscriptions.
- You may need to select the "Payments and subscriptions" tab if it appears as a separate section.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- You will see all active subscriptions associated with your Google Play account.
- Find and tap Selldirect in the list.
- Tap Cancel subscription or Unsubscribe.
- Google will ask you to confirm and may offer discount incentives; proceed to cancel.
Your subscription will end on the date Google displays, and no further charges will be applied after that date.
Cancel via the Selldirect website
If you subscribed directly through Selldirect's web portal using a credit card or debit card, you may be able to cancel through your account dashboard. Log in to your Selldirect account and navigate to your subscription or billing settings. Look for a "Manage Subscription," "Cancel Subscription," or "Billing" option. If these options are not visible or functional, proceed to direct contact via postal mail (see below).
Cancel by post (direct contact)
If Selldirect does not provide a working online cancellation method or you do not receive a cancellation confirmation within seven days, you must cancel by registered post. This creates a documented paper trail and is your legal safeguard if Selldirect disputes your cancellation later.
- Write a formal cancellation letter including:
- Your full name and Selldirect account email address.
- The words "I cancel my Selldirect subscription effective immediately" (or your preferred end date).
- Your account number or the card number used for payment (last four digits only for security).
- The date of your letter.
- Your signature.
- Send the letter via registered post to: Selldirect, PO Box 44294, Claremont, 8000, South Africa.
- Request a proof-of-delivery certificate from the post office.
- Keep this certificate as evidence of your cancellation request.
- Allow 5 to 10 business days for Selldirect to process your cancellation and confirm it in writing.
- Selldirect should provide written acknowledgment by email or post.
Once you send a registered letter, the company cannot claim it did not receive your cancellation request. This method is legally binding and enforceable under the CPA.
Refund eligibility and timeline
Your eligibility for a refund depends on when you cancel and whether Selldirect has already charged you for the following billing period.
When you can claim a refund
Under the ECTA cooling-off period, you may cancel within 14 days of subscription and claim a full refund of any charges already deducted. If you cancel after 14 days but before your next auto-renewal charge, you are entitled to have auto-renewal switched off so no further charges apply. Nevertheless, Selldirect may not refund the last charge unless you prove the company breached the CPA by failing to disclose cancellation terms clearly.
If Selldirect has charged you without proper consent or after you cancelled, you can dispute the charge with your bank and escalate your complaint to the CGSO or NCC. Yafee advises you to raise a formal dispute immediately with your financial institution if unauthorised charges continue after cancellation.
Processing time for refunds
Selldirect typically processes refunds within 5 to 10 business days if the company approves your claim. The refund will be returned to the original payment method (your debit or credit card), and your bank may take a further 2 to 5 business days to credit the money back to your account. In total, you should see the refund within 15 business days of approval. Monitor your bank statement carefully and contact Yafee if the refund does not appear within this timeframe.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not happen instantly, and you must verify that Selldirect has actually stopped charging you.
Verify your cancellation is complete
After you cancel, check your account settings within the app or website to confirm that your subscription status shows as "cancelled" or "inactive." Your access to Selldirect's features will end on the cancellation date provided by the platform or by your confirmation email. If you received a cancellation confirmation email, save it as proof.
Monitor your bank statements
For the next two to three billing cycles, review your bank or credit card statement to ensure that Selldirect has not charged you again. Recurring billing errors are common, and fraudulent reactivations do occur. If you see any charge from Selldirect after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and dispute the charge. Then notify the CGSO or NCC that Selldirect continued to bill you despite cancellation.
Delete the app (if desired)
Once your subscription is cancelled and you have verified no further charges will occur, you may delete the Selldirect app from your phone. Deleting the app before cancelling is complete will not affect your cancellation, but it does remove a temptation to reactivate accidentally.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation can go wrong if you take the wrong steps or miss key procedural details. The good news is that South African law protects you, and Yafee has compiled the most frequent errors so you can sidestep them.
Mistake one: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
This is the single most common error. Deleting Selldirect from your phone does not cancel your subscription or stop charges. You must cancel through Apple Settings, Google Play, the web portal, or registered post. App deletion is a false cancellation and will leave you exposed to continued charges.
Mistake two: ignoring a cancellation confirmation email
If Selldirect sends you a confirmation email after you cancel, save and archive it immediately. This email is your proof that you cancelled on a specific date. If the company later claims you never cancelled, that email will be your evidence in a dispute with the CGSO or NCC.
Mistake three: not checking your bank statement after cancellation
Selldirect may "forget" to disable auto-renewal or reactivate your subscription without consent. Check your statement in the first week and again in the first and second full billing cycles after cancellation. If you see an unexpected charge, dispute it immediately with your bank.
Mistake four: not keeping proof of payment and cancellation
Your subscription receipt, cancellation email, and post office proof-of-delivery certificate are your ammunition if Selldirect refuses a refund or continues to charge you. Archive these documents in a dedicated folder or email account so you can retrieve them quickly if you need to escalate to the CGSO or NCC.
Pricing and cost comparison
Yafee has compiled typical pricing information for Selldirect so you can assess whether the cost justifies your continued subscription.
| Plan | Cost (ZAR) | Billing cycle | Access |
| Standard (mobile app) | R49-R79 per month | Monthly auto-renewal | Deal notifications, price comparisons |
| Free tier | R0 | N/A | Limited deal notifications only |
| Premium (if available) | R99+ per month | Monthly auto-renewal | All features plus early access to sales |
Consequently, if you are paying R49 to R99 per month and using the app fewer than twice weekly, cancellation is likely the right choice. Yafee recommends you calculate your usage rate and compare Selldirect's value against standalone price-comparison tools like PriceCheck or major retailer apps, which often provide deal notifications for free.
Checklist: steps to cancel Selldirect safely
Use this checklist to ensure you cancel Selldirect correctly and protect yourself against continued charges.
- Gather evidence: Take screenshots of your subscription charge, account settings, and any terms you can access within the app.
- Choose your cancellation method: Select Apple Settings (iOS), Google Play (Android), web portal, or registered post based on how you subscribed.
- Complete cancellation: Follow the step-by-step instructions for your platform and capture a cancellation confirmation (email, receipt number, or registered post proof).
- Verify the cancellation: Check your account settings and confirm that your subscription status shows as "cancelled" or inactive within one hour.
- Monitor your bank statement: Review your statement on day one, day seven, and again at each billing cycle date for two months after cancellation.
- Dispute any unauthorised charge: If Selldirect charges you after cancellation, dispute the charge with your bank and report it to the CGSO or NCC (see Contact Information below).
- Archive all proof: Keep screenshots, emails, and postal receipts in a secure folder for at least one year.
