Serial refunds
A serial-refund claim is a shop's written account that the same customer repeatedly sought refunds after receiving the service or goods, not a single good-faith return.
Who this is for
Shops that already processed one or more refunds for the same customer and want a private record. Not shoppers comparing refund policies.
What shops usually do
Honor the first return, then watch the pattern, then refuse the next one or require store credit. Some write each incident down so another shop sees the sequence.
What a private claim file is
A written merchant claim other member shops can see after they sign in and, for lookup, pay membership. Refund history is not posted as a public leaderboard.
What we will not do
We will not publish a public name page, a refund score, or a guilty finding. One refund is not a serial pattern by itself.
How to file
Write down the dates, the orders, and what was refunded. Attach receipts or processor refund notices. Submit on the claim form. The shop inbox gets the one-time code. Filing is free.

- Is this a public list?
- No. Claim files are private to member shops. There is no public name page and no people-search.
- Is a claim a verdict?
- No. A claim stays a claim until the named person contests it in writing. It is not a guilty finding.
- Who gets the verification code?
- The shop or filer email. The customer or subject email is the lookup key and never gets the code.
- Do you score people?
- No. There is no risk score, star rating, or ranking. A hit is a set of written claims, not a grade.
- Can shops use this for hiring or credit?
- No. Lookup is not offered for employment, credit, insurance, or housing decisions.
- What belongs in a serial-refund file?
- Dates, order or ticket numbers, and what was refunded. A single return is usually not this incident type.
