Receiving a refund can sometimes take longer than expected. At PinguBuy, we believe transparency and organized record-keeping are key to a smooth resolution process. This guide will show you how to effectively track your refund progress and maintain a clear dispute history.
The Pillars of Transparent Refund Tracking
Successfully managing a refund claim relies on three core actions: meticulous recording, consistent communication, and systematic follow-up.

Step-by-Step: Building Your Dispute History
Step 1: Initiate and Record
The moment you file a refund request, create a dedicated log. Record the date, time, claim ID (if provided), and the specific reason
Step 2: Document All Communications
Every time you receive an update from PinguBuy support—via email, chat, or notification—add it to your log. Include:
| Date | Channel | Key Message / Promise |
|---|---|---|
| Example: 2023-10-26 | Email Support | "Your refund is approved, processing time 7-10 business days." |
Step 3: Track Progress and Follow Up
Set reminders based on the timelines provided by support. If a deadline passes without confirmation, use your detailed history to follow up. Reference previous conversations (e.g., "As per your email on [Date]...") to demonstrate your proactive tracking.
Step 4: Finalize with Confirmation
Once you receive notification that the refund has been sent to your payment provider, log this as the final entry. However, continue monitoring your bank or payment account until the funds are fully visible. The dispute history is only complete once the money is recovered.
Why a Complete Dispute History Matters
Maintaining your own records empowers you and accelerates resolutions. It provides clarity in conversations with support, serves as evidence if escalation is needed, and gives you peace of mind by transforming an uncertain wait into a managed, transparent process.
