Can I return a gift?

For recipient: No, you cannot exchange the received gift for V-bucks.

For sender: No, you can’t return a gift. It is impossible to return money, as well as V-bucks for gifts. Everything you gift goes to the addressee forever.

In this regard, be careful: do not respond to requests to exchange gifts from unfamiliar people. You can simply be deceived, and you will gift an item, but you will not receive anything in return. These types of scams are very popular.
