    Generally speaking, you can't.

    The refund rates that ClickBank quotes are for a vendor's account. The problem with that is that most vendors have multiple products for sale and the refund rate quoted is an average of all of them.

    I once had a conversation with the then CEO of ClickBank where he stated that any individual product that had higher than a 15% refund rate would ring alarm bells inside ClickBank but I saw no evidence (and still don't) that any active steps were made to remove them from the marketplace.

    We don't (nor do we need to).

    I'll tell you two things about refund rates on ClickBank ...

    1. There isn't a way to discover them, as they're information (rightly) not published by ClickBank. Beware of "other sites" claiming to be able, somehow, magically to "estimate" them from their own "secret proprietary algorithms": this is all bullshit - they have no more real information available than you or I have, from ClickBank's Marketplace statistics, updated daily. Refund rate information isn't included in them, and neither is any other information from which it can be "derived".

    2. It wouldn't be helpful for you anyway. Other people's "average refund-rates" aren't your refund-rates, are they?

    There are a few niches which do have some slightly higher-than-average refund-rates, because of the slightly scammy/unreliable nature of the products and sales-pages, but here's the reality: the refund-rates are mostly determined by affiliate-behavior.

    ClickBank won't keep on the market a product that has a high refund-rate across all its affiliates because they'd lose money on it: the refund costs and charges wouldnt cover their 7.5% profit on the unrefunded ones.

    Some affiliates have high refund-rates across all the products they promote.

    Others have low refund-rates across all the products they promote.

    It isn't (mostly) about the products. It's about the pre-selling methods used by affiliates.
