Have I been had by Amazon

[admin_exported]

Hi all,

Please forgive me if this has already been discussed. I recently purchased from Amazon two blu-rays, Knowing and District 9. They were priced at £9.85 and £13.95 respectively. Not sure if these were the best deals available but I was happy with the price and have dealt with Amazon on many occasions. As usual they were delivered very fast, and I was very happy.

However while paying a few bills using my online banking I noticed that roughly £10.85 and £14.95 had been taken out mentioning something about euro conversion.

Can anyone tell me what this is referring to, have you had the same happen to you?

Look at your order history, it may be the portal you used was in a different currency, I have previously used amazon with no issues, my bet is YOU have made a error!

Let us know the result please, its more than amazon would like to afford than to con its customers!

Unfortunatelly, this one may be down to user error.... sorry to say it.

There are various discussions on money saving expert about people having £1.25 charges added when shopping on Amazon etc. Does your statement say Amazon GB or Amazon LU (Luxembourg)? Have you recently been given a new debit card? The bank may be charging you for a foreign transaction with a new card depending on how Amazon processed it. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/cards/2010/02/new-debit-card-holders-hit-with-mystery-charges
