If you didn’t request a refund within 48 hours If you for some reason didn’t make a refund within 48 hours using any of the above guides, you are still welcome to contact us and tell us why you want a refund. Remember that in order to be able to refund you, we need the ordernumber of your purchase. You will find it in the purchase receipt email from Google Play. It has the following format GPA.XXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXX where the X:s represents numbers. App developers cannot identify orders without the ordernumber, so if you cannot find it, please contact the Google Play support instead: Submit a refund request online
