Understanding Buyer’s Remorse

Buyer’s remorse is a significant contributor to refunds and chargebacks, often rooted in psychological reactions post-purchase. Research shows that a staggering 42% of Americans have regretted a purchase, with this figure rising to 74% for online transactions. This remorse can stem from various factors including impulse buying, feeling overwhelmed, or discovering better deals after the fact. The phenomenon, described as the ‘dopamine drop,’ occurs when the initial excitement of a purchase fades, leading to doubts about the decision made.
