Greeting, Robloxians, Just a few days ago, I got scammed by ConnorVIII's game, Classic Laser Warfare (https://www.roblox.com/games/386231950/Classic-Laser-Warfare). The game deducted 500 R$ out of my account because an ad for an admin pass (https://www.roblox.com/Admin-Commands-40-OFF-item?id=386635353) spams your screen every time your character respawns. While I was fighting, the ad popped up, I misclicked it, and before I realized what had happened, my account had been drained of 500 R$ because I got scammed into buying a gamepass I didn't even want. This outraged me (and a minimum of 27 others who disliked the pass). I think that for situations like this, it would be handy to have a 2-Hour refund feature, that allows you to refund a gamepass that you didn't intend to buy, or might've just wanted to test out. If you refunded the pass within two hours, there might be a long cooldown (1+ week), or you could never buy the pass again. This, of course, would prevent abusing of the refund feature.
Thank you, and have a great day! |

| This needs to be a thing. Even for gamepasses you intend to buy, some are MASSIVE ripoffs. If I spend 2.5k on an admin gamepass and find out I can only use :sparkle, I should be able to get my money back. |

| Exactly my point. We don't want some greedy scammers getting our Robux if their passes are ripoffs. |

But what if the creator already spends that money within those two hours? I recommend just...not giving them the money until said two hours have passed.

@Sir, that couldn't happen. Roblox takes at least a day to give you the money from any gamepass or clothing sales.
Thank you all for your support! |

There should be a review process.
First things first, you should only have around an hour to actually try out the game pass (Probably less because it could be exploited) before you cannot refund the purchase.
If you decide to refund the pass (Under the time limit), you should have to send a request to a moderator (At this time when you send the request, you are unable to use the game pass and it gets temporarily removed from your inventory) with a description of what the game pass advertises and what the user actually experienced. Once this is done the request will be put into the refund que in which a moderator will look at the request and compare it to what actually happens ingame - being that the moderator will use an alternate or anonymous account which has the game pass on it - but didn't actually spend any robux on it. (This could take around a week ~ Probably less).
If the moderator agrees with the request, the user will receive 70% of the robux they spent on it and the gamepass creator will receive a warning telling them about the issue. If the game pass creator doesn't respond to the message (And fix the issue) within a week, the game pass will be taken offsale permanently (It can still be used by people who own it) and anyone who requested a refund for that game pass will have their request accepted.
However, if the moderator disagrees with the request, the user will not receive their robux back, the game pass will be activated on the user's account again and they will be refund blocked for a week (To prevent any exploitation of the system).
I think that instead of hiring more people, Roblox could open up a volunteer program which candidates will be screened properly and will be verified to be trusted, from this people can help the moderation team review the gamepasses, and maybe people who volunteer will receive a badge on their profile and for every successful request handle, the user will receive a very small portion of Robux. |

I would support this if a feature like this wasn't already in place. As a game developer I know gamepass sales are held a few days to ensure the Robux can be given back to the player if they contact roblox support.

There are no refunds. You won't get a refund anyways lol. It was your decision to buy it and you have to pay the price for making a horrible descision

| @Harley, if someone didn't want to buy a gamepass, but the game pretty much scammed you into buying it, then it's not your fault, because you didn't make the decision to buy it, the circumstances in the game did. Also, if someone bought a gamepass that didn't do what it described, that's not the buyer's fault either, because the seller was false advertising. |

@f0rm0lDelta "if someone didn't want to buy a gamepass, but the game pretty much scammed you into buying it, then it's not your fault, because you didn't make the decision to buy it, the circumstances in the game did."
I'm sorry, but can you explain to me how a game makes a decision for you? Did it pull a trigger to your head, and force you to buy something? No, you just bought something, and decided you didn't want it afterwards.
"Also, if someone bought a gamepass that didn't do what it described, that's not the buyer's fault either, because the seller was false advertising."
This part I'll agree with since I've seen it happen.

| I believe there should be a review process or atleast a 5-10 timer for a refund. Plenty of users know they will be able to take advantage of this feature by just buying it, seeing what it's like, and then getting their refund. Some games might not be scripted to remove the game pass once after its refunded, which can be a problem. |

| Coming from previous experience, Roblox would say they can't do anything about it and that all transactions are final |

| @Big, if an ad popped up on your screen, then you misclicked it, and unintentionally bought it, then you, the buyer, did not decide to buy it. |
