Newegg: refund request
Check the item's return window on its Warranty & Returns tab, then request Refund or Replace in Order History; Marketplace items follow the seller's policy.
What does this mean?
Grade A (high: almost everything comes from official pages read directly). 100% of 16 sources are the organization's own pages or government sites.

Steps
Open Order History, click Refund or Replace, choose the item and a reason, and submit. Days left to return show in orange with a return-by date.
Ship it with the RMA number on the package before the return label expires (14 days). Large items such as TVs need a carrier pickup arranged through Customer Service.
For a Marketplace item, start the return the same way; the seller responds directly. Confirm the seller's terms first.
If Newegg or the seller refuses a refund you are owed, dispute the charge with your card issuer.
