There are two main reasons for a delayed charge:<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-grouped-transactions\">1. Grouped transactions<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>In order to save on credit card fees, Apple often groups transactions together. When you purchase something from iTunes, you are likely to make another purchase soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple waits for 24 to 48 hours to bill your card so it can group your purchases. It saves on credit card processing fees to bill 10 transactions at once rather than billing 10 individual purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-buyer-behavior\">2. Buyer behavior<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Delayed charging affects the psychology of the buyer. Getting a service and paying for it days or months later encourages the buyer to make more purchases. It promotes impulsive buying behavior of the buyer.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-apple-refund-unauthorized-purchases\">Does Apple refund unauthorized purchases?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In iOS 15, Apple introduced a new feature that let buyers request a refund for a purchase within the app itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously users had the option to &ldquo;Report a Problem&rdquo; to claim any refunds or to issue a dispute through Apple&rsquo;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is only possible if the developers of the app have used a &ldquo;Request a Refund&rdquo; option within the app. To use the option to request a refund:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Tap on the &ldquo;Request a Refund&rdquo; option within the app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the purchase for which you want to issue a refund request<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Describe the issue that motivates the refund request<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on the &ldquo;Request Refund&rdquo; button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You will receive an email from Apple regarding the status of your refund request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the new &ldquo;Request a Refund&rdquo; feature, you still have the &ldquo;Report a Problem&rdquo; option to file a dispute and\/or request a refund. You will need to explain the reason, e.g. an accidental purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-apple-pay-refund-money-if-scammed\">Does Apple pay refund money if scammed?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>In order to get a refund for a scam, you can cancel a payment or issue a dispute, depending on the status of payment processing.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-cancel-the-payment\">1. Cancel the payment<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>In order to cancel the payment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open your &ldquo;Messages&rdquo; and tap on &ldquo;Payment&rdquo;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your &ldquo;Wallet&rdquo; app will open and your Apple Cash Card will be displayed under it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on &ldquo;Payment&rdquo; and then choose &ldquo;Cancel Payment&rdquo;.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t see a &ldquo;Cancel Payment&rdquo; option, this means that the payment has already been processed and the other person has accepted the payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to ask the recipient to send the money back to you.
