Steps

  1. Step 1: Open your wallet and look at Transaction History.

  2. Step 2: Find refunds by their description, such as a returned budget or an escrow refund.

  3. Step 3: Select Download receipt on a line for a receipt.

What happens next

Refunds go to your CouthActs wallet, not your card. A job that expires or is cancelled before it's booked, or a booking cancelled before it starts, is refunded in full. When you accept a bid lower than your budget, the difference comes back straight away. Posting and protection fees aren't refunded.

Common problems and fixes

The job started and went wrong.

A started job can't be cancelled. Open a dispute; CouthActs decides whether the held amount is refunded, released or split.

Can I get my wallet money back to my card?

Unused top-up funds can be refunded when you close your account. See Delete your account.
