Serious question: Is this refund problem as big an issue as commenters here are implying? Is there data that shows that app developers are losing significant money due to Apple's fees not being refunded? I would have guessed that very few people ever request a refund on an app they purchase, but I have no data to back this up.

Here's another example from Wil Shipley where someone purchased 30 education copies and then refunded all of them. Total for the day nets out to -18 purchases and sales of $-360: https://twitter.com/wilshipley/status/768540129203855360 https://twitter.com/wilshipley/status/768540129203855360 If you made say a high profile game that a particularly whiny subset of gamers took notice of, I imagine it could be much worse, but I don't know that this has happened yet. I'd bet money that it will though, and you have to wonder what Apple will do about it.
