When will I get my refund?

By following this guide, you can effectively manage your Google Play purchases and refunds, ensuring a positive experience every time.
Can I receive a refund for an in-app purchase?
Absolutely, as long as it falls within Google Play's refund criteria.
I've ACCIDENTALLY subscribed an app, mistakenly thought it was a free trial and was charged right way. I immediately contact google for refund and it is now under review. For common cases like that, will i actually get a refund for the accidental subscription
Bought something through an app that didn’t work as expected.
I requested a refund within 1 hour of purchase — well within their official refund window.
It’s now been 5 days, and all I’ve gotten is a circus:
→ Google Play denied the refund, told me to contact the developer
→ Developer said Google handles all refunds
→ Went back to Google with proof, and now they say “contact your bank” if the payment already went through
I haven’t even gone to the bank yet — I’m just exhausted from being passed around like a refund football.
I followed all the right steps, even stayed in the time limit, and they’re still not helping.
Has anyone else dealt with this? Is this how Google Play handles refunds now?
