Refund Policy

Information about our refund process and eligibility

Last Updated: January 15, 2023

At CS Gaming Hub, we strive to ensure your complete satisfaction with every purchase. We understand that circumstances may arise where you might need to request a refund. This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which refunds may be granted, the refund process, and important information regarding digital items.

Please read this policy carefully before making a purchase, as by completing a transaction on our platform, you agree to the terms outlined below.

1. Refund Eligibility

Due to the digital nature of our products (CS2 skins), our refund policy is more restrictive than for physical goods. However, we will consider refund requests under the following circumstances:

1.1 Eligible for Refund

  • Non-Delivery of Item: If you have not received your purchased item(s) within 24 hours of completing your payment and the issue is on our end.
  • Incorrect Item Delivered: If you received an item that is significantly different from what was advertised (e.g., different skin, different wear condition, or different pattern than explicitly promised).
  • Technical Issues: If there was a technical error that resulted in duplicate charges or an incorrect amount charged.
  • System Errors: If a system error on our platform resulted in an unintended purchase or transaction.

1.2 Not Eligible for Refund

  • Change of Mind: Simply changing your mind about a purchase after the item has been delivered to your Steam inventory.
  • Minor Visual Differences: Slight variations in appearance compared to images on our website due to different graphics settings, lighting, or other display factors.
  • Price Fluctuations: Changes in market value after your purchase.
  • External Issues: Problems with your Steam account, trade restrictions, or other issues not related to our platform.
  • Traded or Transferred Items: If you have already traded, sold, or transferred the item to another account.
  • Violation of Terms: Any purchase made in violation of our Terms and Conditions.

2. Refund Timeframes

2.1 Refund Request Deadline

To be eligible for a refund, you must submit your request within 24 hours of the completion of your purchase. Requests submitted after this timeframe will generally not be considered unless there are exceptional circumstances.

2.2 Refund Processing Time

Once your refund request is approved, we will process it within 3-5 business days. The time it takes for the refund to appear in your account depends on your payment method:

  • PayPal: 3-5 business days
  • Cryptocurrency: 1-3 business days (subject to blockchain confirmation times)

5. Partial Refunds

In some cases, we may offer partial refunds when:

Partial refunds will be determined on a case-by-case basis by our customer service team.

6.2 Currency Exchange Rates

If your purchase was made in a currency different from your payment method's currency, please be aware that the refunded amount may differ from the original charge due to currency exchange rate fluctuations.

7. Special Circumstances

7.1 High-Value Transactions

For purchases exceeding $1,000, we may require additional verification steps before processing a refund to prevent fraud and ensure security.

7.2 Promotional or Discounted Items

Items purchased using promotional codes, discounts, or as part of a special offer may be subject to additional refund restrictions or may only be eligible for store credit.

7.3 Account Restrictions

If your Steam account has trade restrictions or if there are issues with your account that prevent us from retrieving the item, your refund may be delayed until these issues are resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions About Refunds

How quickly will I receive my refund?

Once your refund is approved, we process it within 3-5 business days. However, the time it takes for the funds to appear in your account depends on your payment method. Credit card refunds typically take 5-10 business days, PayPal refunds 3-5 business days, and cryptocurrency refunds 1-3 business days.

What if the item I received has a different float value than advertised?

We meticulously verify the float value of all items before listing them. If the float value of your received item differs significantly from what was advertised (beyond a reasonable margin of error), you may be eligible for a refund. Please contact our support team with evidence of the discrepancy within 24 hours of receiving the item.

Can I get a refund if I accidentally purchased the wrong item?

Typically, purchases made in error are not eligible for refunds as per our policy. However, if you contact our support team immediately after the purchase (before the item is delivered to your inventory), we may be able to cancel the transaction at our discretion. Once the item has been delivered to your inventory, accidental purchases are generally not refundable.

What evidence should I provide when requesting a refund?

When requesting a refund, please provide:

  • Screenshots of the item listing on our website
  • Screenshots of the received item in your inventory
  • Float value verification (if applicable)
  • Pattern verification (if applicable)
  • Any error messages or issues encountered during the purchase process
  • Transaction confirmation email or receipt

The more detailed evidence you can provide, the faster we can process your refund request.
