GoFundMe sent a clear message that you are not safe to fundraise on their platform, for any reason they can just cancel it completely.

You should have done a charge back instead. You get your money and your card company hits them with a $30 fee.
I can only report a dispute. What's the difference between a dispute and a charge back.
A charge back is done through your credit card company.
My understanding is a charge back is service never rendered after payment. Something along those lines. They basically reverse the charge to get your money then hit them again with a fee to cover the transaction. I think you have to actually call your card company to start the process.
Like doc said, if you and everyone do a charge back, go fund me gets charged $30-$35 per person. The way they do this is because your credit or debit institution will claim you purchased a product that the company did not deliver, I.e. you put money towards the trucker convoy, not a charity of their choosing.
Same thing. And a lot of card companies don't investigate chargebacks under a certain amount, like under $25, meaning they just take your word for it.
I'm unclear if a chargeback actually stiffs gofuckme or not, sounds more like its passed onto the organisers?

Good luck passing those fees to organizers...
