I've been working in the payments industry on and off for 15 years. I am yet to work with a payment method that does not support reversal (except for physical cash). As a last resort victims can file chargeback with their issuers or police.
To begin with there are several layers of protection built in at acquirer, issuer, network and so on. Almost at each step there's an option to reverse the payment (or issue a compensating transaction) and finally the chargeback and legal recourse.
Bear in mind that each of the business process of the current payment systems exists for a reason. They are the result of decades of learnings and trial and error.
Are there plans to build equivalent features on Blockchain for crypto currencies? Or do their users have to go through the same painful failures?
