I love my SeaSkin suit, it's great. When I ordered it, I made a similar mistake to the OP, two in fact. One is that I forgot to tick the box for the "warm neck" option. No big deal, that option doesn't really matter that much, and I'm not sure I would have liked it anyway.
The other mistake I made is that I purchased the Kubi cuff side, but not the glove side. So, the suit showed up with just the cuff side glued in, with a silicone wrist seal. So, it was diveable with my wetgloves, but the drygloves were not included. Again, no big deal, because I was able to order the glove side directly from Kubi (plus spare o-rings and a nice bag to stow the gloves in), so I was only out like $10 or so for shipping. Today, the SeaSkin page for the Kubi cuff is very clear that you may need to purchase the glove side as well, with a prominent link. I don't think the info was as prominent in 2019 -- maybe it was and I just missed it, I can't say.
These issues weren't due to a lack of research, I knew exactly what I wanted to buy, and had done agonizing research for weeks or months. I read Stuart's whole frickin thread! But when the time came to place the order, I failed to click the right buttons in the right order. In some sense, that's on me: it's entirely within my control to click the right buttons next time, it's not like SeaSkin lied to me. But, SeaSkin's website is flawed in the sense that it makes mistakes like this easy to make. That's what the OP is complaining about, and I think he's right. SeaSkin's website is past the bar of functional -- it does work.
I studied game design at university, owned a mobile game startup company for awhile, and have a background in working on websites. What @stretchthepenn is saying about SeaSkin's website is exactly right, and is consistent with what I learned both in school and in the field. I don't personally think that he deserves a refund here (and I don't think I do either). Improving their website would cost money, time, and energy, so I can't speak to whether that investment would pencil out for them.
I have zero issues with their main product, drysuits. Their website is a product too, and it currently facilitates a frustrating experience for the customers of their main product. So, speaking as a happy SeaSkin customer, I would be even happier to see them make improvements in this area.
