Because the Minecoins were purchased through PlayStation, PlayStation remains responsible for the transaction and any refund; contact PlayStation Support again and report the Minecoins as a paid consumable that was not delivered, rather than as a general billing question.^1^
What to do now
- Open the PlayStation account’s Transaction History and locate the $1.99 Minecoins purchase.
- Record or screenshot:
- Transaction/order ID
- Purchase date and amount
- Sister’s PSN online ID
- Minecoins balance showing that the coins were not delivered
- Return to the PlayStation refund/support page and select the transaction. If Request Refund is available, submit it. Otherwise, contact PlayStation Support from that page.^2^
- Use wording such as:
The Minecoins purchase was charged successfully, but the in-game consumable was never delivered. Please investigate fulfillment of transaction [transaction ID]. If it cannot be delivered, please refund it as a faulty or undelivered purchase.
Mention that the first PlayStation representative confirmed the payment but did not resolve delivery. Minecoin purchases are generally final, and PlayStation consumables are generally non-refundable after delivery, but your point is that this purchase was not delivered.^3^
About the missing Microsoft account
Minecraft’s guidance says Minecoins appear when the game is signed in to the same Microsoft account associated with the purchase.^1^ Since your sister has no Microsoft account, tell PlayStation that explicitly. Do not create or link a new Microsoft account merely to troubleshoot this existing purchase unless PlayStation or Minecraft Support confirms that doing so will apply the transaction; the available information does not establish that a newly linked account would receive a previous purchase.
If PlayStation refuses to investigate delivery
Contact Minecraft/Microsoft Support for the missing-entitlement investigation, but Microsoft normally cannot refund a charge processed by PlayStation because refunds are handled by the billing platform used for the purchase.^4^
For a human Microsoft agent:
- Open Contact Microsoft Support.^5^
- Enter Minecraft Minecoins purchased on PlayStation not delivered.
- Select Contact Support when offered.
- Choose Minecraft/Xbox or billing-related options.
- Select Provide your phone number and a support agent will call you, if displayed. A browser chat with a human may also be offered; contact methods vary by hours, product, scenario, and region.^6^
Give the agent the PlayStation transaction ID and the prior PlayStation case number. Ask for entitlement-delivery investigation, not a Microsoft Store refund.
Avoid filing a bank chargeback as the first remedy. A chargeback reverses the payment through the bank and is intended for disputed transactions; pursue the merchant support and refund routes first.^7^
