Chargeback Is The Best Way to Get a Google Play Refund

Google Play is a digital distribution service operated and developed by Google. It serves as the official app store for the Android operating system, allowing users to browse and download applications developed with the Android SDK and published through Google. A Google Play refund can be a little tricky to get, but it's not impossible if you know the ropes.


Google Play Refund Policy

Google Play refund policy varies depending on the content type and the time since your purchase. In general, most apps and games can be refunded within 48 hours of purchase, provided you haven’t installed or used them. For Google Play movies & TV shows, you can request a refund within 7 days if you haven’t started watching it. If technical problems prevented you from watching the content, you may even get a refund after 7 days. Google Music allows a refund within 7 days of purchase, unless you’ve started listening to the songs or download it. eBooks, audiobooks, and newsstand publications refund policies differ vastly. Refund requests for in-app purchases are forwarded to the developers unless the purchase was made within 48 hours, then Google Play handles them.
