How to use it

1. 1

   Collect the order evidence

   Export or gather the last six months of receipts, delivery notices, price-change evidence, photos of faults, and earlier support messages. Remove card numbers, passwords, ID documents, and anything unrelated.

   Help me build a refund audit for purchases from the last six months. First, tell me exactly which receipts, order confirmations, tracking updates, photos, and support messages you need. Do not assume you can access my orders unless I upload them or explicitly connect a relevant app. Do not ask for passwords, full payment details, ID documents, or unrelated private information.

2. 2

   Audit each possible claim

   Ask ChatGPT to separate late or missing deliveries, faulty or damaged items, incorrect items, duplicate charges, and possible price protection. A later price drop alone does not always create a refund right.

   Review the order records I provide. Create a table with merchant, order number, item, purchase date, promised delivery date, actual outcome, amount paid, possible issue, evidence available, deadline, and next step. Flag late or missing deliveries, faulty or damaged goods, incorrect items, duplicate charges, and possible price-protection claims. Do not say a refund is legally owed unless a current official policy or applicable consumer-law source clearly supports it. Treat ordinary price drops as policy-dependent. Mark every uncertain claim for manual review.

3. 3

   Verify the policy

   Have ChatGPT open the merchant's official policy and a relevant government consumer-rights source. Check the country, dates, exclusions, remedy, and claim deadline.

   For every possible claim, find the merchant's current official returns, delivery, warranty, or price-protection policy. Also find the relevant official government consumer-rights source for my location. Quote only the short clause that matters, link to the source, record when you checked it, and explain whether it supports a refund, repair, replacement, cancellation, store credit, or no clear remedy. If the policy or law is unclear, say so instead of guessing.

   Draft each request

   Create one short message per order. Keep it factual, attach the right evidence, request the remedy the policy actually supports, and set a reasonable reply date.

   Write a separate refund or remedy request for each supported claim. Keep each message short, calm, and firm. Include the order number, the problem, the date, the remedy requested, the relevant policy or consumer-rights clause, the source link, and the evidence I can attach. Do not threaten, exaggerate, or claim rights the source does not establish. End by asking for a written response within a reasonable timeframe.

   Submit with review checkpoints

   Open Work and use the built-in browser, cloud browser, or your signed-in Chrome session where available. ChatGPT can navigate and fill supported forms, but you may need to sign in, solve a CAPTCHA, or approve each submission.

   Open each merchant's official help page and prepare the supported refund requests using the evidence and drafts in this chat. Match every request to the correct order. Stop before each final submission so I can verify the merchant, order, requested remedy, attachments, and wording. Never enter passwords or payment details in chat. If a site requires sign-in, CAPTCHA, an unsupported step, or blocks automation, return the exact page and tell me what I need to do.

Tips

• Use official merchant and government pages. Search summaries and old screenshots can be out of date.
• Keep a claim tracker with the submission date, case number, promised response date, and result.
• A faulty item may qualify for a repair or replacement rather than an immediate refund, depending on the facts and local law.
• A price drop after purchase usually depends on the merchant's price-protection policy. It is not an automatic refund everywhere.
• Review every request before submission. The merchant, amount, order, attachments, and remedy must all match.
