For several years now, Epic Games has had a scheme that allows the players of Fortnite to refund the Fortnite skins and cosmetics. It means the players of the game on every device (including PS4) are all able to take part in the cosmetics funding plan. You are able to refund cosmetics in exchange for V-Bucks. It means you are able to recycle any skins, emotes or gliders that you no longer want. However, there are some limitations.
Here is how the cosmetic and skin refund service works in Fortnite Battle Royale, including the limitations. First, you are able to return up to three cosmetic purchases for V-Bucks in a lifetime. Second, once you have returned three cosmetic items, you will not be eligible for any more refunds. Third, you are able to only refund purchases within 30 days. Fourth, if the item you have refunded is not in the Item Shop, you cannot buy it again until it returns. Fifth, you will find the Self Service Cosmetic Returns process in the Purchase History section of the Item shop.
What can you refund? You are able to request a refund for the items such as emotes, gliders, harvesting tools, back bling, and outfits. What can’t you refund? You are not able to request a refund for items such as Battle Pass, Battle Pass Tiers, Starter Pack, Founder’s Pack, Founder’s Pack Upgrades, Loot Llamas (Save the World), and Event and Weekly items (Save the World).
