Understanding Refund Timelines
Quick answer: What actually happens after a refund is approved, and realistic timing.
An approved refund and the money actually appearing back in your account are two different steps, with a gap in between worth understanding.
Approval vs. processing
Once a cancellation or claim is approved, processing back to your original payment method is a separate step that takes its own time.
Bank-side delays
Even after a refund is processed, your bank or card issuer can take several additional business days to reflect it — this part is outside the platform's control.
What to actually check
Your confirmation or refund email usually states an estimated timeframe — treat any number you see quoted elsewhere as approximate and check your own confirmation.
