If I select no best answer after 3 days, can I still get a full refund? I would like to leave my question and tip out there longer but....
"If you choose no best answer within three days of when you asked the question, we will refund the tip in full, and note that you rescinded a tip on your profile. the answerers will have the option to give you feedback. You should only select no best answer if you feel your question was not answered."
So, can I leave my question and tip out there for longer than 3 days and still get a refund if I do not get a satisfactory answer?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"How are best answers selected?
The asker has four days from the time the question is asked to select a best answer by clicking the Select as Best Answer button next to the answer they choose. If the asker doesn't select a best answer within four days, the question moves to the undecided questions tab and the community votes for the best answer. At the end of the voting period, which lasts two days, the answer with the most votes is declared the best answer and receives the tip if a tip was offered. If no best answer has the most votes, the question is closed without a best answer and if a tip was offered the the tip is credited to the asker's account. If there's a tie, the voting period is extended until one answer has the most votes."
So it sounds to me like you'll be refunded if and only if there truly is no best answer, as decided upon by the community.

M$No offense @walrus, but if the point-hungry community inadvertently votes his as "Best Answer," the Mahalo reactor core will cease being properly controlled and cooled, and the sealed nuclear fuel assemblies – which contain the uranium or plutonium and highly radioactive fission products that keep Jason's brain operational– will begin to overheat and melt.
Much as ice cream does.
Especially Australian ice cream.
