How many times can one purchase an app and refund and continue to do so?

Answer

Paid apps/games!/in-app purchases can only be refunded once. If you buy the app again, you can't get refund


From Play Store help (see
Refunds & returns → Learn about refunds on Google Play →Google Play refund policies)



Note: You can only return an app or game for a refund once. If you buy it again you will not be able to get a refund. If a refund is issued you will lose access to the item.



(Emphasis added)
