Apple blacklists abusers of iTunes App Store refund system

Being able to refund app purchases on the iTunes App Store is a good way to stave off any buyer’s remorse for unwanted apps. However, some people seem to be abusing the system and Apple will have none of it. The company has started to blacklist customers they think are looking for a loophole around the policy.

The users who have asked for too many refunds will now get a message that says: “I acknowledge that if I downloaded this app within fourteen days of tapping ‘Buy.’ I will no longer be eligible to cancel this purchase.” This means you can either don’t download the app or pay for it but they won’t be able to get their money back. They didn’t say how many times you ask for a refund before they blacklist you or if it would be a permanent or temporary thing. What’s sure is that you better not try any funny business with Apple.
