How to Get a Skrill Refund on Your Own

It's not always easy to attempt a chargeback going through Skrill. Those of you who do attempt to do it on your own generally have to follow these criteria:

  • Act fast by calling their customer service line, because once a transaction is fully processed, you can't have it returned.
  • You can get a refund if it's under six months since the transaction took place.
  • Keep a record of your transaction date.

Going through Skrill's customer service line usually works, albeit taking far too much time. DoNotPay gets this same chargeback process going faster and saves you from having to wait on the phone forever to get it finalized.

Even better, we help you cancel all memberships with Skrill or internal businesses using a few easy steps.

Skrill's Refund Policy

As you can see, Skrill does provide a customer service line to deal with chargebacks. They still have strict procedures for how you go about getting your refund finalized.

The steps include:

  1. Providing the type of currency sent and the specific amount.
  2. Giving the exact time and date of when the transaction occurred.
  3. Posting the email you use on your Skrill account.
  4. Providing your transaction ID.

While the six-month refund policy is typically fair, you might not discover you want a refund until after that date. If this happens, Skrill has a withdrawal process that returns funds to you.

Doing this for the first time requires a 15-day processing period, delaying things even further.

How Long Will it Take to Get a Skrill Refund?

You should receive your refund immediately once it's fully processed. Those who don't receive it within seven days should contact their customer service team. Still, it's easy to see their refund process is very protracted.

Issues You Might Encounter When Requesting a Refund

The biggest problem with getting a chargeback or a refund through Skrill is that it's a go-between for merchants and customers. This means having to go through their own customer service lines to get things resolved.

Doing this alone is likely going to mean long wait times on the phone, something no one wants. When you just want to get your money back, you don't want to wait interminably on a phone line to get it completed.

You're also at the mercy of possible bad customer service representatives. Reviews of Skrill usually say their customer service is not the best. Many people are also subject to business scams there, making a chargeback all the more problematic.

Providing all details about your transaction to customer service can also prove complicated. Keeping an exact record of your transaction ID isn't always possible with everyone, leading to slowdowns.

How Can You Check the Status of Your Refund?

Calling customer service is usually the best way to find out your refund status at Skrill. Then again, that involves longer waits on the phone if you find out the refund hasn't gone through after seven days.

You can also check your account to see the status of your refund.
