How Does a Chargeback Work?

When a consumer is either unhappy with a product or service or didn't receive a product or service he or she purchased, the customer's last resort is to contact his or her bank or Credit Card company after trying to resolve the issue with a Merchant. The Issuing Bank or credit card company, as a last option can issue a  Credit Card Payment to the customer, called a Chargeback, compensating the consumer for his or her stated loss. Other reasons for a chargeback include bank processing errors, duplicate billing, identity theft, disputes over price charged and processed, or missed refunds.

Merchants may suffer heavy penalties for chargebacks. Chargeback processing is an expensive process for all parties involved, from the Issuing Bank to the Acquiring Banks, to the Payment Service Provider, and the fees charged to the merchant for each chargeback often reflects that. The card associations have strict rules about chargeback management which they require Banks, Payment Service Providers, and Merchants to follow. If a merchant receives too many chargebacks, it will no longer be given permission to accept credit cards from the card associations. It is always in a merchant's best interest to issue a refund before a chargeback occurs.

Se un normale orologio replica non è stato smontato, pulito e oliato per circa quattro anni, è meglio smontarlo, pulirlo e rifornirlo di carburante una volta. Sebbene la macchina si mantenga normale durante la marcia, una volta evaporato e asciugato l'olio lubrificante, continuerà a muoversi in caso di tempo di marcia impreciso, che consumerà solo le parti della macchina.
