True. Although there was a man in Scotish folklore who sold his soul to the devil in xchange for ten years of life. when the devil came to collect it the man convinced satan that his shadow was his soul, but ten years after that the devil came back and took the mans real soul. Not really a refund, more like an extended lease

Actually, according to Christian doctrine (and I don't just mean Catholic) this is true...with two exceptions. There are two 'unforgivable sins' that will basically condemn you to eternal fire. The first is suicide. It is thought that the person committing suicide can be forgiven at the last moment if they decide that it was not the choice they really wanted to make, but only they and the Creator can ever know that. This is the reason why suicides are not traditionally given a Christian (or at least Catholic) burial or allowed to be buried in a consecrated cemetery. The other one is selling ones soul to the Devil. Basically, one can't easily get a refund on that. Supposedly there are ways it can be done, but it involves some serious penance. On the upside, at least this method ends with the person in question still living. Traditionally, the only other two ways to redeem your soul after selling it to the Devil is though martyrdom (dying for your belief in God, specifically) or through The Greatest Sacrifice. For those who don't know, The Greatest Sacrifice is giving ones life to save another..."For no greater love hath Man than this, that he give his life for another." Those two things are said to basically trump anything else and save your soul. Not that people should actively look to do these things, lol. These two occurances don't happen to most people in modern times and usually happen completely by chance...and are not pleasant. Then again, how many people actually sell their souls to the Devil?
I'm just giving this information from personal knowledge and research. Since you said 'Satan' specifically, I used the Christian standpoint. There may be others out there, but I don't know them. Hope this helps.

No, as long as you have kept the receipt and you acted in good faith then under The Sale of Goods Act (1979) (Amended) you will be entitled to a refund. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Souls have already been bought by Jesus through His death and resurrection. Man just has to make the decision to receive His salvation and he will be saved, no matter what he has done in the past!

No I disagree
As Satan is created by fear
So if a man lives in fear he would give his Soul to his Satan
Not sell it
And a real Man does not live with or in Fear
Love & Blessings

If it was a commercial transaction I'm sure it is just a matter of price, just like everything else in this world.

I don't believe anyone other than yourself can own your soul. It's mine, all mine.
