Refund

Hi everyone!

Is this sentence correct?

"I will refund for any product."

Or should I say: "I will give you a refund for any product" ?

Cheers,

Virr
As an ex retail-store manager I would prefer to say "I will give you a refund for any faulty product." 👁 Big Grin :D

For any product, or any unsatisfactory product? It could become rather wordy.

How about:
100% satisfied, or 100% refund!

Refund, verb, is transitive - it needs an object.
So, "I will refund ..." begs the question - what?
You are probably right, but if you took a faulty product back to the shop would you ask for a refund, or your money to be refunded?

Either would work for me. In everyday life, I'd just ask for a refund.

"I will refund for" doesn't work as a phrase, however. You'd have to turn around your choice above and say "I will refund your money for any faulty product." As others have said, "refund" as a verb needs an object.
In the UK we often hear, "Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back."

I have taken faulty goods back to stores and asked for a refund of my money. I'm not interested in offers of repair or replacements. The UK "Consumer Protection Act" does just what it says and puts retailers under an obligation to grant refunds for faulty merchandise.
