If you run a business that does a high volume of transactions at low prices, you may want to consider a policy of automatic refunds upon request.
For this type of business model, refunds are usually a low percentage of overall sales, which means it may cost you more in time, effort and dollars to manage every request than simply issuing an automatic refund when asked.
If you’re worried that people will game this system, don’t be. The vast majority of people are good natured and don’t act maliciously.
Plus an automatic refund policy builds goodwill. People will be more confident in their decision to purchase from you, and if they’re not satisfied then an automatic refund is the easiest solution for everyone involved.
