I wanted to try JLCPCB ... what a mistake that was.
I did a design for a product I've been stocking in my store for 5 YEARS. It's a single pcb ... but unexpectedly these yahoos demanded more money because it appeared to them that I had 4 designs in the single PCB.

I get it; people skirt the rules to get something for free... but this is simply me trying to fill orders for products I've always gotten built without hassle. The effectively doubled the price because they perceived this to be a multiple design product.
So; I basically told them to f-off, refund my order, and I'll take my business back to SeeedStudio.
I also told them to cancel my account with their site as this a horrible way to introduce a new customer to your true colors.

Begin by snapping the boards apart. They should easily snap along the holes in the center of the FR4 material. Once the boards are snapped; clean the "mouse bites" off the PCBs using a dremel or belt sander.

Their or your opinion on what I consider a multi-design is irrelvant.
...
You are clearly entitled to your opinion; but the only one that matters is mine as I'm the paying customer.

I feel with you. I get the same behavior from my 8-year-old when he doesn't get what he wants and throws a tantrum. Ah yes, life in a world of grown-ups must be hard.
One of the reason why multi design is more expensive is the tab/mouse bite you made might be too fragile for production handling. So, if customer expect these to be delivered in a panel but the tab/mouse bite are not properly designed to a required standard, the panel might break. So, they probably had to produce more to account for this possible defect. If people think JLCPCB is expensive, I'm sure they haven't touch any other more premium PCB factories in China. Even more premium PCB factories told me, if your volume is small to medium, just stick to JLCPCB else the price will not scale to their pricing accordingly.

Ya'll are funny.
I really don't care WHAT JCLPCB thinks is a multi board design.
A single LED on board which is then routed by wires is not a multi board design.

JLCPCB are ok for prototyping, and no more. I asked them to quote for 1k circuits on 8-up panels, with specified breakout tabs, and they said they don't do anything like that.

I suspect miscommunication. Their ordering page allows ordering of panels in qty of 10's of thousands.
While they can do simple panels, if you have specific routing or tabs requirements then you should arrange the panelisation yourself, and submit panel gerbers.
Don't worry, it is not just you. Every time I ordered from JLCPCB, they found something and increased the price. Last time it was "Too much milling". The only reason I go back to them is that they provide DDP shipping. It's like the Ryanair of PCB houses.
Had my first problem with JLCPCB recently and been with them for years.
They sent a message saying one of the pcb's was damaged in production and they would give me a voucher off next pcb.
All great no problem, these things happen.
So got pcb's through post and posted them off to my customer.
Next thing I know customer is complaining taht one of the pcb's has a 6mm hole right through the pcb and a track.
Looks like JLPCB put teh bad pcb in the box instead of throwing it out !
A bad pcb is no good to me.
As they are by far the cheapest and best quality (usually) I will let it go this time.

How many did you get?
I mean it is pointless to ship it to you, but if you paid for 5 and you got 4 good ones and 1 bad one and a voucher, that seems completely fair.
Maybe they thought there was a chance you could use it, wanted to see the damage, etc.
