Hi Raul, Reading through your thread this situation is a bit different since you were basically charged twice for the same app, just saying.

First off Lisa, nice signature. I like that. Now to you and to everyone else, when I've requested an app refund I've gotten the same type of message that all sales are final, blah blah. In fact, pasted below is the email thread I received when I got an app refunded. I have also not asked for that many refunds, but this one comes to mind because Apple really didn't have to refund it and yet they did. So, thread follows. Hello Raul, Ezel here from iTunes Store Support again. I hope you are having an awesome day so far. I just wanted to say you're welcome and thank you very much for your reply. I am glad to know that your issue has been resolved and I was able to provide you with the support you deserve. I know first hand, how great it feels to get what you need and to have things run smoothly. It was my pleasure to help you, Raul. If you will have questions or concerns in the future please don't hesitate to contact us again. We will be happy to help you. Nothing makes Apple happier than to hear that we have pleased our customers. Take care and have a great weeks ahead! Sincerely, Ezel iTunes Store Customer Support http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/ Hello and thank you for following up. I really appreciate that you were able to approve a refund for this app. Thank you and have a good weekend.

I was trying to download the full version of List Recorder called List Recorder Full. It's under order number XXXXXXXXX. My history shows that my card will be charged $7.99 plus tax. However in July 2012 I had purchased the lite version, then did an in-app upgrade for $7.99 which upgraded List Recorder from lite to full. The order number for the purchase in July 2012 is XXXXXXX. I don't feel that I should be charged a second time for the same app. In July 2012 my billing address was XXXXXXXXXXXX, Fort Wayne, IN XXXXX. Now the address is XXXXXXXXXXXXX Houston, TX XXXXX. I used the same Apple ID and credit card for both of these orders. Thank you. > > > > > > -- Raul A.
