Items such as virtual currencies (e.g. EA FC Coins, V Bucks in Fortnite or Shark Cards in GTA V), add-ons (such as skins, bonus levels or emotes), XP boosts or other items that are depleted during gameplay fall under this category.

If you take advantage of a free trial when you sign up, your 14-day cancellation period includes any time included in your free trial. For example, if you sign up for a free trial which lasts 7 days and you are charged for the subscription at the end of the trial, you only have a further 7 days after your payment to cancel.
If you're eligible for a refund, but you've started using your subscription (for PlayStation Plus this might include: playing online, downloading monthly games or using cloud storage) we may reduce your refund based on the use you’ve had of the subscription.
You can check the guide below to learn how to stop future payments at any time. Your subscription will continue until the next payment is due, at which point it will end.

Where possible, refunds are issued to the payment method used to make the purchase. However, there may be some payment methods or instances where this may not be possible, such as purchases made using wallet fund vouchers. If for any reason we are unable to issue the refund to your original payment method, the amount is credited to your wallet instead.
If you’ve received a confirmation from us that you will be refunded and you haven’t received your refund, please check below.
If your refund is payable to a payment method other than the wallet, check your wallet balance (as we may have been unable to refund to your original payment method) or contact your payment method provider for further assistance.
You cannot cancel a wallet top-up. We seek your consent to top up your wallet immediately and acknowledgment that you understand you will not be able to cancel your top-up.
As purchases of voucher codes are made outside of PlayStation Store you need to contact the retailer that sold the voucher code to you for their refunds and cancellation policy.
If you purchased the code from PlayStation Direct you can check your refund eligibility in the guide below.
