I was chatting with customer service about a refund issue I'm facing, and they mentioned that I could contact my bank for a chargeback. They assured me that my account wouldn't be locked or banned due to this, but I've heard different stories from others. Should I take their word for it, or is there a real risk of getting my account disabled if I proceed with a chargeback?

Wait, why would you get blocked? Is there any chance your card was used fraudulently? Once you knock on the bank's door for a chargeback, they see that as a direct shot at their policies, and that's usually a one-way ticket to an account ban. If Apple thought you were owed a refund, they would've dealt with it already. So consider if this is really the path you want to take.
Just a heads up, if you initiate a chargeback against Apple, there's a good chance your account will be disabled. They see chargebacks as a serious offense, almost like theft. If you haven’t disputed charges before, you might get lucky and have your account re-enabled, but keep in mind, multiple chargebacks will definitely lead to a permanent ban. Better to weigh your options carefully!
Definitely, as soon as you issue a chargeback against Apple, expect your account to get disabled. They don't take those lightly, so think it through before you act.
It really depends on what the refund issue is. If it's something straightforward, Apple might handle it without you needing to go the chargeback route. Can you share more details about what's going on?
Yeah, a chargeback is like telling them you don't trust their refund process. If Apple suspected fraud, you might be safe, but otherwise, you’re risking your account.
