Apple does not accept refunds for purchases that have not been received In-App, what to do?

I clicked In-App purchase and the payment is complete, but have not received the product. So I clicked buy back 3 more times and still got the completion message but didn't receive the In-App product. When I filed a report and requested a refund, Apple did not accept the refund and said that my refund request was not eligible. So what should I do? Or do I have to accept losing money without receiving any products?

The people responding on this support forum are users like you and we only know what Apple says in its documentation and what our own and other users' experience tells us. Apple does not have much on its criteria for refusing refunds. Here are two sections from Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions - Legal - Apple Media Services - Apple


- "All Transactions are final."

I understand this as meaning Apple is starting from a point where any refund is considered an exception. They can simply say no without having to provide a reason. I understand this can be frustrating but by using the service you agree to the terms.


- "From time to time, Apple may suspend or cancel payment or refuse a refund request if we find evidence of fraud, abuse, or unlawful or other manipulative behavior that entitles Apple to a corresponding counterclaim."


You can see if the terms are different for where you live by clicking on this link Legal - Apple Media Services - Apple select your location and then your language.


If you feel you want to discuss a refund request, try to contact a live person using a telephone or chat request.
