Why is my refund pending?

When your refund shows as "pending" it means the seller has issued the refund, but the money hasn’t cleared their bank. It usually takes up to 5 business days for a refund to complete. If your refund is still pending after 5 business days, contact the seller for details.

We send all refunds back to your original payment method. The time it takes to receive your money varies by payment method.

When you pay with a credit card, it takes between 1 and 2 billing cycles for a refund to complete, depending on the card issuer.
