After a user successfully completes a purchase and later requests a refund, how long does it typically take for the refund to be processed and take effect? How does Apple notify developers when a refund has been issued for an in-app purchase? Are there specific mechanisms or recommended approaches to reliably receive such notifications? In cases where users may abuse the refund system (e.g., frequent or malicious refund requests), is there any way for developers to prevent or intervene in the refund process?

There are cheaters wherever you go. It's not just app users. There are software developers who abuse the system with fake 5-star ratings and bogus last-minute discount price claims. You are simply better off staying away from these people and concentrating on development instead. I wouldn't waste a minute of my valuable time becoming a cat to chase mice.
