If you've made a purchase in the PlayStation Store and have decided that you want a refund, or you've found charges on your account that you didn't make, it's possible to request a refund. Depending on the type of content you want to be refunded for, you might be able to get a refund through the PlayStation Network.

The specifics regarding your refund largely depend on the type of content you are seeking to be refunded for. Most content can be refunded if you request a refund within 14 days of purchase and have not downloaded or streamed the content in question.
