So I messed up and bought the wrong skin in Valorant. I didn’t notice it at first, but then when I got into a game, I realized it’s not the one I wanted. Bummer, right? I really needed to get my VP back, so I started looking into how to refund skins in Valorant.
First thing I did was hop onto Google to see if it was even possible to refund skins. Turns out, yeah, you can, but there’s a catch. You only have 48 hours from when you buy the skin to ask for a refund. I was lucky, I caught my mistake pretty quick, so I was still within that time frame.

Next, I had to figure out how to actually do the refund. From what I gathered, I needed to go to the Riot Support website. So I opened up a new tab and found the site. Once I was there, I logged into my Riot account.
After logging in, I looked around for something that said “Submit a Request”. It wasn’t too hard to find. I clicked on that, and then it asked me to choose a category for my request. I picked something like “in-game purchase” or whatever seemed closest to the issue.
After that, I filled out a form, explaining that I bought the wrong skin and wanted a refund. I made sure to mention that I hadn’t used the skin in any matches, since I heard that can affect your chances of getting a refund. You know, I’m not gonna use something I don’t want.
Once I submitted the request, all I could do was wait. It wasn’t too long before I got an email back from Riot. Good news – they approved my refund! They said it would take a few days for the VP to show up back in my account.
Honestly, the whole process was way easier than I thought it would be. I was kinda freaking out at first, thinking I was stuck with a skin I didn’t want, but Riot’s support team was pretty chill about it. Now I’m just waiting for my VP to come back so I can finally get the skin I actually wanted.
So, yeah, that’s my story about refunding a Valorant skin. If you ever find yourself in the same boat, don’t panic. Just follow the steps I did, and hopefully, you’ll get your VP back too.
