Refund

[Flyvver]

Hi All,

A vendor wants to refund me two amounts. He has sent me two private keys but how do I handle this in Electrum? I can't find it anywhere in the manual.

Thanks,

Strange,
Usually, a vendor asks for your address to issue a refund.

If it was really a private key, you can swipe it in electrum.
Using electrum 2.7.18 go to wallet => private keys => sweep

But once again, i find this kind of refund rather strange... That being said, i don't think you can do harm by using this procedure. If the vendor didn't send real private keys, you should probably just get an error, and that's it...

That indeed is is a strange way of refunding someone.

TS, make sure after doing the steps mentioned that you move the coins to a new address that you own yourself. Otherwise, the vendor can swoop in at any point to take the coins back.

he doesn't have to do anything else after sweeping because by sweeping the private keys he is moving the funds to an address only he controls. that is what sweeping means.

I have never heard of such a refund process.  Business would suffer by treating clients in such a way.  A refund is a refund, by why do something like that to a client if you want them to come back?

Yeah, definitely make sure that you only Sweep and do NOT import the addresses. If you end up importing the addresses and accidentally putting other coins on those addresses, they would be at risk. Sweeping is the secure way to redeem those coins.
