The game consists of a playful, bright, and cartoonish virtual island filled with various cities, towns, landmarks, and dungeons filled with Hidden Loots, Supply Boxes, Currency, Materials, and Weapon drops.

Players control one of the many different characters and teams of characters of their own design and jump out of a flying bus to explore, discover, and defend themselves against various potentially-hostile players, creatures, or monsters. In the PvE mode, players work together to collect resources and build structures of varying materials in order to defend themselves against waves on enemy AI attacks.

The Fortnite Battle Royale mode is a 100 player deathmatch scenario where players fight each other to the death in order to become the ultimate victor. The User can Customize their player and environment using a variety of different styles and techniques. Some elements are free, while others require in-game purchases including the purchase of currency known as V-bucks or Battle Star Pass.

What Happens After Submitting a Refund Request?

After submitting a refund request, it is in Epic Game’s hands. They have 2 refund systems: one request per item through their Customer Service e-mail, and any item within 30 days via the self-service form through Fortnite on the platform the purchase was made. According to Epic Games, they will process a request in 5-7 days, though some users report the time to be quicker – refunds have occurred in less than 24 hours, according to some user reports.

How Long Does it Take to Receive a Refund?

From the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section of the Player Support Center on Epic Games’ website, it takes approximately 5 days to receive a response regarding whether you are ineligible for a refund because you have received too many accidental refunds. Regarding processing times, the guidelines are carbon copied from the older FAQ section once again suggesting 3-14 days.

From numerous comments on the official Epic Games Twitter account, it would appear that processing times are closer to the three-day mark. Users have on occasion received refunds on the same day, as evidenced by <>astrodoesstuff who tweeted “@FortniteGame can you repeat this for the reeeeefund the public service is closed. LOL Just Kitting! Hey guys rip (Yes I said rip) just got the refund I GOT YAY! Simultaneously as the purchase happened, So much content we got, so much fun… b“. This TikTok user was refunded a Dark Reflections pack just minutes after purchasing, having done so by accident as he was showing his skills (?, or lack of them?) in a sniping game. Shortly after trying to refund on his phone, the refund showed up and then money was received in his V-buck account.

What Happens if my Refund is Denied?

If your refund request is denied by concurrent support for a modicum of Fortnite skins, there is no way to get around this. They will tell you that in their rejection response to your request. The reason for denial could be one of several if you file for a refund before 30 days have expired. Epic and Fortnite have no reason to reveal this information, and less reason to potentially create an exploit that fans can use.

If your refund request is denied after 30 days have expired, you are likely to be given the option to try and refund the specific fortnite skin again as all purchases should still be listed in your refund history. The reason for denial could be the same as if you submitted your request within 30 days or you could have unknowingly mulched one of your lifetime three refund requests before that point.

What Other Options Do I Have for Unwanted Skins?

Other options for unwanted skins in Fortnite are the following:

1. List them on external platforms and websites occasionally as there might be a Fortnite user who wants the exact same skin and is willing to buy it.
2. Gift them to a friend. If you find out that a previously unwanted skin was just ahead of its time, and is now very popular with a certain friend, reach out to them and simply give the skin as a gift before it is eligible for a refund.
3. Sell them to a third party. If you are looking to make the new version of your preferred Fortnite skin the only available version on the market, or want to make money from a popular Fortnite skin, there are many unofficial buy and sell forums and some official ones where you can sell your unwanted Fortnite skins for real money.

For those who are interested in selling their Fortnite account as a whole, the process for this is explained at length on the Fortnite website and forums.

Can I Trade or Sell Skins with Other Players?

Yes. You can trade and sell items with other players via Epic Games and through their third-party trading websites though this process is referred to as gifting rather than trading. Trading among players will be significantly more risky because there is no system in place to verify the trade and no protection if one player decides not to honor the deal.

You will probably encounter a scam if you attempt to trade skins or other items with another player in an unverified fashion, whether it be a fake trade promise, receiving a fake or dysfunctional skin, or fake reputable verification. To mitigate the risks of a Fortnite skin trade scam, do not initiate a trade at all without specific knowledge about the reputation of the third-party trading website and receiving nothing but positive references from actual persons.

Can I Gift Skins to Other Players?

Yes, you can gift skins to other players in Fortnite Battle Royale. The gifting feature lets you buy items using V-bucks or real money from an online or console store and send them as a gift to a friend. To give a gift in Fortnite you need to be friends with the person you’re giving to, and you also need to have been friends for at least three days before you can send a gift.

Another requirement is that the opposite player must have multi-factor authentication enabled which requires you to use your email and phone number for an additional security measure. To enable multi-factor authentication, you can visit your Account Settings in the game.

To claim your gift in Fortnite, go to your Locker and there will be a button for Send Gifts. When prompted to select a friend from the list, select the player you want to gift. Items in the Item Shop will sometimes be labeled with Gift in the bottom right-hand corner which can be accessed by clicking or tapping on the object you wish to purchase.

Can I Use the Skin in Creative Mode Even After Refund?

Yes, you can continue using the skin in Creative Mode after refunding. None of the Vehicle Skins, Outfits, Back Blings, Harvesting Tools (Pickaxes), and Game Skins have the refund limit of 30 days. They can be used in all Fortnite Battle Royale modes such as Solos, Duos, Squads, Team Rumble, or any other Party Royale Creative Mode.

However V-Bucks and Game Passes are not. By uninstalling the game, the skin is also deleted and no longer usable in Creative Mode.
