Merchant refund and billing dossiers

Each dossier collects what a merchant publishes about how its charges appear on statements, how long refunds take by payment method, how it bills recurring plans and where to cancel. Fields that our sources do not support are withheld rather than estimated, so some dossiers show fewer details than others.

How to use a dossier

Start with the statement descriptors listed in the dossier and compare them with the exact line on your statement. If the refund you expect has not appeared, check the payment-method table: card refunds, PayPal balances, store credit and bank transfers move through different systems and post on different schedules. Each timing figure links to the merchant page it came from.

To estimate when a specific refund should post, use the refund timeline predictor. To identify an unfamiliar line first, browse decoded charges or read how we verify sources.
