You are wrong. This may be the case if it is directly from a bank account, but not from a credit card.

Regardless, the way that the Apple store tricked his muscle memory by not having a confirmation page borders on fraudulent. If they would not reverse this honest mistake when you present the situation to them, then I would have no problem perusing this by other means.

The apple store HAS a confirmation. If you had read the "review" in the attached image, you'd see that the purchaser "forgot" that he disabled the option to prompt before buying.

Why is no one paying attention to this?

I, too, think this app sucks... but "caveat emptor" doesn't still apply?

Check out Kottke (who I also am not especially fond of) for a reality check on why it's not apple's place to remove the app...

I hope I can use "honest mistake" more in court. That's the two magic words people should put more faith into.

Talk in proverbs much?

Bullshit less next time?
