# Refunds

As a buyer on 3DIMLI, you can request refunds for your purchases directly from the Purchases page. Whether you need a full refund for an entire order or a partial refund for specific items, this guide covers everything you need to know.

## Refund Eligibility

A refund is eligible when **both** conditions are met:

- **Not downloaded**: The product has not been downloaded or accessed.
- **Within 7 days**: The refund request is submitted within 7 calendar days of purchase.

If the product has been downloaded, even within the 7-day window, the automated refund button is unavailable.

:::tip Pre-download warning
Before your first download, a confirmation dialog warns: **"This purchase is final and non-refundable once confirmed."** Click **Cancel** to keep your refund eligibility, or **Confirm** to proceed with the download.
:::

### What if I downloaded but have an issue?

If you downloaded the product and encounter problems (defective files, missing assets, misleading description), **contact the seller directly**. Sellers can issue manual refunds from their dashboard regardless of download status.

## How to Request a Refund

1. Go to your **Purchases** page.
2. Find the order you want to refund.
3. Click on the order row to expand details.
4. Click the **Refund** button (available only if eligible).
5. Select whether you want a **Full Refund** or **Partial Refund**.
6. Provide a reason for your refund request.
7. Submit your request.

Your request is sent directly to the seller for review.

## Full Order Refund

A full order refund returns the entire purchase amount to your original payment method. This applies when you want to refund the complete order including all items.

**What to expect:**

- Refund requests are reviewed by the seller.
- Sellers have 7 days to respond to your request.
- If the seller does not respond within 7 days, the refund is **automatically approved**.
- Once approved, funds return to your original payment method through the payment gateway used for the purchase (PayPal, Stripe, or Razorpay) within 5-10 business days.
- The order status will change to `Refunded`.

## Partial Refund

A partial refund allows you to get money back for specific items within an order while keeping others. This is useful when only part of your purchase didn't meet expectations.

**Partial refund considerations:**

- Only specific items are refunded, not the entire order.
- You retain access to non-refunded items.
- The refunded amount reflects only the selected items.
- Each item you want refunded must meet both eligibility conditions (not downloaded and within 7 days).

## Cancelling a Refund Request

Changed your mind after submitting a refund request? You can cancel it:

1. Go to your **Purchases** page.
2. Find the order with the pending refund request.
3. Look for the red **X** (cross) button next to the refund status.
4. Click it to cancel your request.

**Important**: After cancelling a refund request, there is a **30-minute cooldown period** before you can submit a new refund request for the same order. Make sure you really want to cancel before clicking.

## Refund Status Tracking

Monitor your refund requests directly from the Purchases page:

- **Pending**: Your request is awaiting seller review.
- **Approved**: Refund has been approved and is being processed.
- **Refunded**: Funds have been returned to your payment method.
- **Denied**: Seller declined the refund request (reason will be shown).

## If Your Refund is Denied

When a seller denies your refund request, they must provide a reason. This reason will be visible in your Purchases tab near the refund button.

**You can request again if:**
- You are still within the 7-day window, **and**
- You have not downloaded the product.

Review the seller's reason carefully before submitting another request.

## Important: Direct Buyer-Seller Transactions

3DIMLI is a SaaS digital commerce platform that provides infrastructure for buyers and sellers to connect. All transactions happen **directly between buyers and sellers** - 3DIMLI does not participate in or control any part of the transaction process.

**What this means for refunds:**

- Only the seller can approve or decline your refund request.
- 3DIMLI admins cannot approve, decline, or intervene in any refund case.
- All payment processing happens directly between you and the seller through the connected payment gateway (PayPal, Stripe, or Razorpay).

**If you have a dispute:**

1. **Contact the seller directly**: Find the seller's email on their store page or in your purchase receipt.
2. **Escalate via your payment provider**: If you cannot resolve the issue with the seller, you can open a dispute through the payment gateway used for the transaction (PayPal, Stripe, or Razorpay).

3DIMLI takes no part at any stage in transactions between buyers and sellers. We provide the platform; the relationship and responsibility lies between you and the seller.

## Seller's Perspective

Sellers receive and manage refund requests from their [Refunds](/managing-your-dashboard/seller-area/orders-and-inventory/refunds) dashboard. They can approve or deny requests, and must provide a reason when declining.
