How to Track Your Refund Progress After Cancelling a LoongBuy Order
When you cancel an order on LoongBuy, receiving your refund isn't always immediate. The processing time depends heavily on your original payment method. This guide will walk you through checking your refund status, contacting customer support if needed, and ensuring your money returns safely to your source account, be it your bank, credit card, e-wallet, or PayPal.
Step 1: Viewing Your Refund Status in Your LoongBuy Account
The first place to check for updates is directly within your LoongBuy account.
- Log in
- Navigate to "My Orders""Order History".
- Find the cancelled order in question.
- The order status should clearly indicate "Cancelled""Refund Processing""Refund Status"
Note: The status here confirms that LoongBuy has initiated the refund on their end. The actual fund transfer is handled by payment processors, which takes additional time.
Step 2: Understanding Refund Timeframes by Payment Method
This is the most critical part of the process. LoongBuy typically processes the refund request within a few business days, but the rest is up to the financial institutions. Here's a general timeline:
| Payment Method | Estimated Refund Time* |
|---|---|
| PayPal | 3-5 business days |
| Credit/Debit Card (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) | 5-14 business days (depending on your bank's policy) |
| LoongBuy Wallet/Balance | 1-3 business days (refunded as store credit) |
| Other E-wallets (e.g., Skrill, Neteller) | 3-7 business days |
| Bank Transfer | 7-15 business days |
*These are estimates. Always check with your payment provider for their specific processing times.
Step 3: Proactively Checking with Your Payment Provider
For payments like credit cards or PayPal, you can often see the pending refund before it officially posts.
