    What do I do accidentally purchased a game for myself instead of my friend

    Hello ShBrown75! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to transfer content. You would have to request a refund and then gift to your friend.

    I accidentally reported my friend. What do I do?

    He would have to submit a case review to see about being unsuspended, but there's nothing you could do.

    Accidental purchase and what I should do

    How long ago did you reply to the email? It can take a few days to get a response, especially if there is a weekend right after.

    Is this the refund form that you sent?

    If yes, you can actually file an appeal for the results of the refund.

    All you need to do is to reply to the email that was sent to you by the refund team, you can reply with a detailed explanation so they can review your request again and grant you a possible exception.
