App Store and Paypal

AT&T doesn't have anything to do with the App Store.

 

I would talk with Apple. There is a possibility that the "other" charges are for paypal fees, which would be BS if they were charging you for their fee. I would get in touch with apple, either via phone or iTMS support.

 

If anything, PayPal would charge Apple and not the BUYER.

 

This past month I had $30+ for "other charges". Called AT&T and ******* em out and they ended up apologizing and saying it was a mistake in the billing system and removed it.

You have to really watch cell phone companies. No one is worse then t-mobile but the others will try to sneak stuff in from time to time.

 

The App store wouldn't have anything to do with AT&T.

Do both your phones on AT&T have unlimited data/texting? Have you roamed recently? Have you made a whole lot of 411 calls? Just throwing out possibilities to consider, so you're prepared if you need to argue with AT&T.

If the 49.99 is on your AT&T bill, that's a usage issue and not an Apple one.

 

^ that's a sickening amount of money to recieve a text message.

I didn't know you could pay for stuff in the App Store by Paypal, is this a USA only thing? Or have I just not heard of it?

 

You can't. Since this was on his bill from ATT it is really unrelated to the AppStore. Apple bills you separately for the AppStore.

 

I'm not sure if it's a US only thing, but it's definitly legal and under your term fo agreement; something along the lines of "3rd parties can add charges to your account that AT&T isn't responsible for verifying." Some shady, shady ****.

 

Call up ATT&T... the charges are not from the app store. You may be a victim of some online scam. This happened to my GF the other day.

Also, if this is the case, tell ATT&T to remove the charges. If they say they cannot remove them, insist and they will do it.

Good Luck!
