In Fortnite, it is not possible to sell skins in exchange for V-Bucks to other players. However, there is an option to get back the V-Bucks we have spent on skins, dances, backpacking accessories, and more. Since sometimes we make mistakes or regret a purchase, Epic Games has enabled a special option to recover our V-Bucks.
How to get your spent V-Bucks refunded
First of all, two requirements must be met:
- The purchase must have been made within the last 30 days.
- Not having used the V-Bucks return option 3 times.
If we meet these requirements, we may request a refund. From the home platform, tap on the menu icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
Tap on the menu from the start platform
Now, on the right side, look for and tap the Settings menu.
Go to Settings
On this new screen, go to the Account and privacy menu, tapping on the head icon.
Press on Account and Privacy
In this new menu, we must search for Lifetime Return Requests, and tap on Submit a Request.
Tap on Submit a Request
Here, we will see the number of "times" we have left to make these V-Bucks return requests, as well as all the add-ons purchased in the last month. Tap on the one we want to return.
Select the purchase you want to return
Then, we must give one of the three reasons listed below:
- Accidental Purchase
- Unauthorized Purchase
- Item Not As Expected
No matter which one we choose, just choose one of them.
Choose one of the reasons
Now, we must tap on Submit Return Request.
Press Submit Return Request
Next, all we have to do is click on YES I want to use a Return Request. Attention: This is the final step, if we proceed, we get our V-Bucks back, but we will also use one of our three chances to return an item.
Finally, tap on YES
After this, the game informs us that the return was successful.
The return has been submitted
With this, your return is done. Remember not to make too many mistakes, as you can only ask for a return three times. Please, note that this option does not apply to all types of purchases; some packs, battle passes, or the purchase of battle pass levels cannot be refunded, so again, we recommend you to be very careful when buying in Fortnite.
