It clearly states in my post I emailed him already with no response yet and that the money has already left the account.
Define "already left the account"
- If you used a credit\debit card, it has not "already left the account" because when you make a purchase it's just an authorization to make sure the funds are available, and it then takes 3-5 days to settle and "leave the account" or if the transaction didn't fully process, it then is returns to available. Reason number 200 why using debit cards online is a bad idea.
- If you used a direct debit method like PayPal or Amazon Payments via EFT there's no way it could have already come out of your account. At best it happens overnight.
If you're going to take such a "It took my money and gave me nothing therefor it's a dodgy seller" why would you want to allow an app from said dev to be accessing your phone's most sensitive files?
I'd suggest taking a breath... ahhhhh... see that's better. Email Saurik and email the Dev... give them a few days to respond... heaven forbid they be away on vacation or something...
Just relax, it'll be ok. But in the meantime you should educate yourself on how debit\credit\eft payments work because in no sense of the word did they instantly debit your account.

I've purchased over 15 cydia tweaks and have never had an issue you described. Definitely not 'dodgy' at all IMO.
- Is the charge just 'pending' on your bank account?
- Have you contacted the developer?
- Have you contacted Saurik?
- Pending? No they came to his door with a gun and sucked the money out of his wallet with a vacuum.
- The developer? No he's "dodgy" but the buyer still wants his app lurking inside his phone.
- Saurik? No he's "dodgy" too... why? Cause his name... it just sounds "dodgy" ... grrrr.... "Saurik" grrrr.
My guess is the transaction was authorized but the bank rejected it for looking "dodgy" and the buyer is just taking out his frustration on those not even responsible.
