This has finally been released! Although Fantage was unnecessarily late in doing so, let’s just put that behind and be thankful that they did this in the first place!
How to Refund
Go to Uptown and click on this wonderful green sign
Click on any item to see how many stars/ecoins you can get for refunding. You will receive a refund once you press GET PAID and confirm.
How to Make the Best of This
Remember that you can only refund up to 10 items, so don’t waste them on items that will barely get you any ecoins/stars!
Look through everything on the list first, and decide which ones have the highest pay.
I made a detailed list to plan out what I would sell. This is what mine looks like, it makes it SO much easier to decide which items to sell! You can do something like this too.
Don’t forget about the items you are wearing right now! They won’t show up on the list until you take them off, so wear some random costume for now that you know you won’t/cannot return.
I just noticed that Fantage has added moodies into the list too. That makes me think, maybe they will add houses and pets later on too! You should keep one or two refunds for now, in case they decide to do this.
Things You Should Take Note of
1. If you were ever hacked and had all of your ecoins/stars stolen, this is the perfect way to get them all back!
2. If you took part in something that involved a huge transfer of ecoins/stars, these will count in the refunds too! For example, I once needed to transfer 25,000 ecoins to a friend as payment. She posted a worthless item for 25,000 ecoins so I could buy it. Since refunds have been released, I get these 25,000 ecoins back!
3. This will last until December 18, so make sure to use up all 10 item refunds, or they will be wasted!
4. If you refund an item, that item will be TAKEN OUT of your inventory, there is NO way you can get it back. So make sure that the item you are refunding is one you don’t want anymore!!
5. If you refund an item, the person that you originally paid will not lose any money. Nobody will lose any money from these refunds.
6. If you bought an item back when TnS was still open and then sold it, you cannot refund it. You can only refund items that are CURRENTLY in your inventory.
7. Don’t hesitate in refunding an item just because it’s “popular” or “valuable,” because there is no such thing anymore. Chances are, it will be sold later on at Vintage Gold, so if you can get a huge amount of money for it, then go for it! Only keep an item if YOU think it’s pretty, not what other people think.
8. Remember that ecoins will always be worth more than stars, so if you are trying to decide between a starred item and an ecoined item to refund, I recommend the ecoined one!
9. Remember that if you sell items from Orion, your rares medal will drop accordingly.
10. Don’t sell too fast, or it might start glitching, like the charity event. Keep track of how many ecoins/stars you have at all times, to make sure you were paid correctly.

Just refreshed the page and this popped up XD I think by “fully refund” they mean’t you’ll get all the stars/ecoins you paid back. Of course, it could’ve just been a marketing term Fantage used to make themselves sound more generous than they actually are. I think 10 items limit is so no one abuses the refunds. Just think if EVERYONE refunded all (or even just half) the stuff they bought, Fantage would probably go broke from giving away all those ecoins and they might even be more worthless than the items in VG.
LikeLike
Yeah, that’s definitely the case. Fantage Staff: masters of word manipulation.

Maybe they can’t refund everything but 10 items limit is insulting, not to mention they deceived us with their promise of full refund. Fantage is doing a lot of deceitful moves. Why arew VG items so expensive when they know we can’t get stars anymore now that tns is gone. It’s almost like gouging, they know we can’t get 50000 stars to buy items. There’s no way to gett 50000 stars on Fantage through games, even if you played all day. Their games give 200 stars maximum. Fantage doing their best to push users away.
LikeLike
I think I understand Fantage’s plans now:
1. They offer refunds for TnS~ I think they either did this on purpose, knowing they’ll have to trick us later on, OR received too many complaints about VG that they simply threw out the only solution they could think of.
2. They realize (or have known all along) that doing this may possibly put them out of business due to the massive amount of stars and ecoins they are basically giving away.
3. They decide to hold a “charity event” out of nowhere, so that we, who actually have a caring heart, would donate a lot of stars (or basically LOSE a lot of stars).
In order for them to make up for the massive amounts of stars and ecoins they have to “refund”, they take away a massive amount of OUR stars. So basically, all of Fantage, who thinks they’re donating to some charitable cause, is actually just paying for other people’s TnS stars refunds. I’m surprised they didn’t also do some “ecoin charity” too. Fantage is so manipulating, it makes me sick. Okay, so maybe we let them off the hook for using kids to reach into their parent’s credit cards, and maybe all the bad desicions they made (making TnS and then shutting it down, etc.) are just the normal thing any MMORGP goes through, but to go as far as using something noble, like Charity, and twisting it around to MANIPULATE children, and take advantage of their caring hearts is UNBELIEVABLE and DISGUSTING, even for Fantage. Fantastic Age? Oh please.. I bet the way the Fantage Staff looks at Fantage.com isn’t “Fantastic Age,” it’s “Opportunities to use children to reach into their parents pockets”. Sorry for my rambling, it’s just Fantage has disgusted me beyond belief, and every time I think of how they are lying to their loyal customers.. -_- Well anyways, I really am considering quitting Fantage.. I mean, now that I know about the dishonesty, if I stay, it’s just like saying I support what they’re doing, right?

The refunds will start on December 11, but the sign says that it will END at December 11.
If you don’t understand what I’m trying to say I’m trying to say that December 11 is the only day we can refund our items because the sign says that it will start on December 5 to December 11. I’m not really sure about December 11 as the only day to refund items. I don’t think fantage will give another week 😦

Hi MooMoo!
First of all, this refunding is terrific because I paid outrageous prices for actually a lot of things I never realized. It works now, it was released today!
Second, for the charity event, at the beginning it had a sign saying
“For every 1,500 stars Fantagians donate M will donate $1!”
It was out only for the first two hours, and gone.
So perhaps they changed it because of 1B donations, or it’s still true. Not sure.

They have another ecoin sale which is good but it’s not double your ecoins, so it’s really a fake sale. They’re adding 10000 ecoins to the 140000. Big whoop.
