Venmo Refund Policy
The Venmo refund policy states that there are several scenarios in which you can get a payment refund.
Payments may be refunded or reversed if:
- The payment was sent by Venmo by mistake
- The funding transaction is declined or reversed
- The payment is not authorized
- The payment is used for activities that violate Venmo’s user agreement
If a sender or recipient of a payment that has been refunded for any of the reasons above, you may be liable for the full amount of the payment, and Venmo can recover the amount of the payment from you, including any fees that might occur.
Venmo Business Profiles Refunds
If you buy a product from a seller that has a business profile on Venmo and you refund the transaction, the money will be sent back to you. It may not always be refunded to the payment method used to make the purchase in the first place.
If you are the seller, and you’ve sold goods or services, and a customer has requested a refund, you are responsible for the full amount of the payment. You are also responsible for any fees that might be included and the chargeback fees.
If you, the seller, lose the refund claim, Venmo will deduct the funds from your profile. If you do not have sufficient funds to cover the refund, this will result in a negative balance, which you owe directly to Venmo. In case the payment methods linked to your profile do not have sufficient funds to cover the due amount, you must add funds to your balance immediately. If you dispute a transaction with the Venmo Purchase Program and Venmo decides against you, you can dispute the transaction with your card issuer.
If this is a lot to take in, there is always a less complicated option for getting a Venmo refund, and that is exactly what DoNotPay can do for you!
Chargeback Fees
If you are a seller on Venmo and a customer pursues a chargeback for the translation directly through their card issuer, you will have to pay the chargeback fee.
