People, please. :-)

This has nothing to do with the payment system.  If I pay cash
at the local variety store for a packet of crisps and they turn out
to be moldy, I go back for a refund.  There is nothing in cash itself
that enforces a refund, yet we get along just fine without it.

You take someone to dispute resolution with the evidence you have:
the receipt, the packet of crisps, and your testimony of what happened.
If cash was used, that's all.  If Bitcoin was used, you have the
ledger transaction to show too.  What more do you need?
