PSA: Purse tried to overcharge me, and it's fishy
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I submitted an order with a pre-tax total of $26.40. The tax was a normal looking amount, $1.59.</p> <p>Then I got an email about a price change. (This happens relatively often, supposedly because it&#39;s hard for Purse to estimate exactly how much things like tax and shipping will be.) The $1.59 changed to $7.80. That would mean that the sales tax was almost 30%, which would be crazy high.</p> <p>I contacted support, and the response I got was worrying. They said &quot;This is the tax price of your order in Amazon.&quot; and sent this picture:</p> <p><a href="https://imgur.com/a/TWmQPJU">https://imgur.com/a/TWmQPJU</a></p> <p>But as you can see, the order they showed there included a $114 Apple TV which was NOT in my order.</p> <p>When I pointed this out, the support representative said &quot;the system added an item by mistake to the calculation, I will report the issue to the dev team&quot; and they adjusted the tax amount for my order to $0.96.</p> <p>So that&#39;s all fine and good, but how many Purse.io shoppers have been paying extra tax because of this kind of &quot;mistake&quot;? The amount added to my order was more than I was saving by using Purse in the first place!</p> <p>And why on earth would there be an extra item in the order on their end? I can only hope that this actually is just a mistake, and that Purse.io hasn&#39;t been scamming their users by getting them to pay the sales tax on extra items.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/AD1AD"> /u/AD1AD </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/ye75qc/psa_purse_tried_to_overcharge_me_and_its_fishy/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/ye75qc/psa_purse_tried_to_overcharge_me_and_its_fishy/">[comments]</a></span>
