Mike, Yikes, really sorry about that. You're right, it doesn't make any sense to charge 0.01 (On a positive note, I saw your site linked in another groups post and it's pretty awesome: http://www.shoesofprey.com). I've raised the issue so that we can talk about ways we can reduce the chances that this sort of thing can happen in the future.
Can you fill out the billing issues form? http://code.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=AppEngineBillingSupport Maybe there is something we can do for you. At the very least it'll create a trackable issue for us.
