Chargeback Fees

In addition to the reversal of the transaction, merchants often face chargeback fees from their acquiring bank or payment processor. These fees range from $20 to $100 USD and are designed to cover the administrative costs of handling the dispute and are charged per incident. Other potential fees include retrieval request fees, for when card issuers ask for more information before initiating a chargeback, and respresentment fees, for when merchants dispute a chargeback.
