Second pass at: Why chargeback is not the safety net people assume

Solved
Solved by h.brandt in post #3
A definition problem is doing most of the work in this chargeback discussion. Once the term is pinned down I suspect the disagreement mostly goes away and what is left is small.

Second pass at: Why chargeback is not the safety net people assume Writing it up because I had to work it out twice and would rather nobody else did.

Asking about the record rather than the transfer.

Every order leaves a trail: an order reference, a dated confirmation, an amount, a currency, and whatever the seller sends back. Six months later the trail is the only thing you have.

What belongs in that record, in what order, and what do people wish they had written down at the time?

The opening post is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.

Chargeback reality: if you pay by credit card and the supplier does not deliver, you can attempt a chargeback. Suppliers know this and many require non-chargeable payment (transfer, crypto) as protection against it.

Happy to be corrected if someone holds better data than mine.
