An Apex Legends player has gone into “debt” after refunding a purchase through their credit card for a purchase that had already been made.
One player discovered what happens when attempting to get a refund for a purchase made on Apex Legends when their younger cousin bought a skin on their account.
The story was shared on Reddit as a cautionary tale for others in the community. They explained that after their cousin purchased a skin on their account, the money was refunded but the skin was not removed, resulting in them being placed into Apex Legends Coin debt.
“Is there any way that I can fix this without spending the money? I really can’t afford to spend it, but I do like to get something from Apex every once in a while,” said the original poster.
They also shared an image of the balance from their account, which showed-6,650 coins in red text.
The top comment clarified what had happened and provided a likely reason for the poster’s account going into debt.
They explained that since the coins were purchased and then used to buy a skin in the game, and the refunded money was no longer associated with Apex Legends. This created a debt because the player still had the skin, but the money had been refunded and was no longer with Apex Legends.
Another commenter shared a similar experience, which put them into even further debt than the original poster.
“I’m -9,750 after my chargeback, no way to reverse unless you buy enough to break even…Not worth wasting your time,” they said.
