A refund _is_ a chargeback – the only difference is who initiates it. Technically, any time funds are moved onto a card, it's called a chargeback. This is how one would load a gift card, for instance.
When it comes to credit card merchants, a chargeback always dings a transaction fee, and the merchant may additionally tack on a chargeback fee. So a full refund process will incur two transaction fees, plus possibly a chargeback fee.

- throwntoday 4y ago>Technically, any time funds are moved onto a card, it's called a chargeback. I've seen more companies offering a reverse debit now (not sure of the actual term). Is this not through a different mechanism? Funds are available instantly same as how they're drawn via debit vs credit.
- dangus 4y agoI wouldn't say that a refund is a chargeback in terms of the common vernacular.
