refunding pending order

How do I refund an order, that apple says has been refunded (but hasn’t)?

Because I accidentally requested a refund while it was still pending and didn’t receive anything and now I can’t refund it properly.


I’ve tried contacting apple support but they keep sending me to the request a refund page where that order doesn’t show up as refundable.

After you request a refund you'll receive a status update by email within 48 hours. If your request is granted, the money is returned to the payment method you used. The time it takes for the money to appear on your account or statement depends on the payment method:


- Store credit (e.g., Apple ID balance): up to 48 hours

- Mobile phone billing (payment through your phone service carrier): Up to 60 days

- Other payment methods (e.g., credit/debit card): Up to 30 days for it to appear on a statement.


For apps and media you can also sign into https://reportaproblem.apple.com to check if the status of your item is "Refunded".


From: 'Check the status of a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple' --> https://support.apple.com/HT210904


If you need to contact Apple about this, click on this link --> https://support.apple.com/choose-country-region/ and choose a path that gets assistance from Apple staff.


Normally you won't be offered a refund option until the item has completely cleared and been charged. Until then you have to wait or contact Apple as indicated.
