It would appear I should quit purchasing software after my last two tries. I related the problem I had with Cyberlink in another thread. This one is Itunes. I purchased and app a few days ago for $4.99 and Itunes charged me 8 times for it, yes 8. Then it was refunded 8 times and now has charged me the 9th time which would make it even. Now there is a hold on the funds with ******. Nuts. Anyone else had that happen?

Bad luck on that one bro! I have never had a problem with Itunes except for one time when someone stole my credit card number. They purchased something like 75 baby related apps. I let Itunes and my bank know and everything was resolved. Since then I have not purchased anything from them though.

I hear you on that. PP kept putting holds on my account because of irregular charges and credits. I explained to them that that is precisely what I use them for haha. The guy was nice and unlocked my account and I haven't had problems since. They are still a PITA though and I believe there are alot of class action law suits out against them for freezing assets and what not.

Happened to me a few times on Itunes...once got charged for some $ 24.99 app that I didn't download. Called their customer service department and got it fixed. But then again, I've downloaded over 1200 songs. Thanks for reminding me GG.

I'd fire an e-mail back asking how they plan to icompensate you for getting your account locked.

I've been buying from Itunes since it's been out. Nevery had a problem. What makes you think their software store is questionable? Or are you just another Apple hater.

Personally I didn't mind the multiple charges too much, because it was reversed almost instantaneously. My issue was more with the hold that poopantspal has placed on the funds.

I freely admit to disliking
some things Apple, iTunes being one of those things. As both a programmer and a consumer, I consider those sorts of blunders as "questionable," regardless of the company. I was fairly anti-Steam platform for a while because of similar issues they had with game purchases.
That being said, this is clearly not an isolated issue, and if I were using iTunes to purchase anything, I would be suspending those buying habits pending an explanation of why these overcharges were happening to prevent it from happening to me.

Yeah I will prolly curtail purchases til it's fixed too, not that I buy much anyway.

Yes. I read the article. The title was "****** Users...." so people are assuming that the problem was caused by Itunes. This also probably explains why I don't have the problem - I don't use ******.

I forgot I'm not suppose to use the name of the online company that sort of acts like a bank where you PAY them and they pay their PALS.
