That's how chargebacks often work. Then they ask the merchant for evidence the charge was legitimate. If convinced, they will retract that initial quick refund.

15gifts' decision-engine technology powers some of the largest corporations in the UK including Virgin Media, EE, Sky and The Times, and we're growing rapidly. We are now looking for a talented data scientist to join our team and help shape the recommendation algorithms that underpin our product.
You'll be working on the algorithms that underpin our product, and will be responsible for interpreting large amounts of behavioural data to discover the underlying stories and opportunities. Then you'll identify, help implement and test algorithms and optimisations that drive real improvements to our product's performance. You'll work closely with other parts of the business to ensure that the whole product is focused on maximising the benefit of the algorithms that we develop.
The ideal candidate will be familiar with SQL and Python and/or R, have a firm grounding in Data Science principles as well as experience in analysing and visualising data sets. The process will start with a phone chat, and then an interview based around a dataset that we'll ask you to analyse in advance.

I didn't actually expect to use the site - I thought I'd just glance at it and close. But it was so slick that before I really noticed what was happening, Spotify was playing a list of lots of small bands playing around Brighton (UK) in the next week. Cheers for building it!
Would be great if you could filter by genre somehow.
If anything they've declined a little, although this may be within the margin for error for the sample.

15gifts is changing the way people shop online through a unique and intelligent decision engine platform - learning from the buying decisions of like-minded shoppers to help customers quickly find their ideal product. We're growing rapidly and our technology already powers some of the largest corporations in the UK including Virgin Media, Orange, T-Mobile and The Times.
We're looking for an experienced Python developer. As an early stage employee (there are currently 5 of us), you will get the chance to shape the technology stack, as we develop a new python-based platform.
I'm happy to chat about our plans and the role. peter.fine@15gifts.com
This is especially true since any good merchant privacy policy/PCI DSS would of course prevent them from discussing anything with you without direct approval from the customer first - and if they did that, they may as well discuss the issue direct anyway.
Lastly, the toughest chargebacks can take months to resolve. Help with that (as a merchant) would be very useful(and so I can imagine you providing a compelling service), but are you really committing to take on a potentially complex issue for the customer? And wouldn't it be a conflict to represent both parties? Still, a tool that eases the admin of chargebacks could be great for both sides...
