Why does it take so long for a company I bought something from to refund me? They say it can take up to 10 working days. Why can’t it be paid back immediately as quick as I paid them for the original order?

Question

It was an item that was never in stock to begin. They weren’t sure how I managed to place the order. I paid with a straight bank transfer, no debt or credit.

Answer 1

Because they make money from YOUR money while they have it. And what are you gonna do, sue them over some small amount if you don’t get it immediately? The definition of “Over a Barrel” – most people first experience this in college, where you HAVE to pay by a certain date, but they can spend their sweet time getting it back to you when they owe you. It’s just the way of the modern world. It has nothing to do with logic and everything to do with greed,
