Chargeback
When a subscriber's bank reverses a payment, directly reducing creator earnings — a persistent platform problem.
A chargeback occurs when a subscriber contacts their bank to reverse a payment made on OnlyFans, often claiming fraud or unauthorized use. The reversed amount is deducted directly from the creator's balance.
Chargebacks are a persistent problem on OnlyFans and one of the reasons for the pending balance holding period. Creators have limited ability to dispute chargebacks, making it a frustrating aspect of the platform.
