Hi @clboosted,
Welcome to the community and thank you for your post!
I am sorry to hear what has happened. I know this must be frustrating. Buyers have 180 days from the date of a purchase to open a dispute.
When a buyer claims a transaction was not authorized, our teams complete a full review. If there is no evidence of unauthorized activity, the dispute would be denied. All the funds associated with the transaction would then be released to you.
Unfortunately, Donations via Twitch are not covered under our Seller Protection Policy. This means if we find that a transaction was unauthorized, the funds may be refunded back to the buyer
For further details on our Seller Protection Policy, please click here.
I hope this helps!
