So on the refund page there's a lot of rules but most of them are pretty straightfoward. However there's one rule that I missunderstood and some others might have too.

It states that while valorant points can be refunded (if your skin respects the other rules), radianite points cannot.

See I thought that if I upgraded my skin and then refunded it, it would give me back my VP but not my radianite.

Thats not true.

What actually happens is that any upgraded skin cannot be refunded because you used radianite on it. So when you upgrade a skin, you are forced to keep it (at least thats what the support guy told me).

So if you buy an animated skin and you think, "eh its fine i'll refund it if i don't like it", remember that if you upgraded it, you keep it.

Sorry for my bad english.
