Well, I'm really looking forward to having the transaction fees I pay to Visa and Mastercard rising in order to pay for refunds for the many greedy gullible people who I'm sure a good few of whom have now learned a lesson.

Why should I pay bank charges to cover up for yours and others failings? Not the answer you want, but the bank should not be used to fund your cheap tac?

That's right, blame the victims. Grow up, the pair of you.

Have you heard of the Darwin Awards? Some people may think this thread is the consumer version of them.

Blackbeard of thingy your funny! 😂 Why should you pay, you say? The question is have you ever paid? If so, then what did you pay? How would you pay? There is no rational reason a bank would charge you to pay. The protection is there from banks automatically, as Martin Lewis has described many times regarding purchases for over £100. This doesn’t require your unnecessary arrogant behaviour. So I humbly request you stop your bragging and egotistical mumbo jumbo. If you get a kick out of making these unhelpful remarks and it makes your day, then go ahead, and make yourself look important!

Nicely put.

I don't know why he has that behavior because despite that it was an obvious scam, banks are there to help people get their money back whenever possible.

Moreover, a decent amount of people were scammed by UK Switch Shop (no longer online), and I don't know how they fell for it! The prices were too low, the website was registered not long ago and the website in itself was dodgy.

I just hope they get their money back and learned a lesson from it.

Have you got your trinket yet? Would you be willing to pay £15 a month for banking? Would you also pay 25 pence per transaction on your cards? £1 for each cheque? If so, then the refund should be coming.

Until about 1990, banking was not free. You paid for each transaction. Why should the rest have miserable interest rates etc to pay tor your tac that you buy cheap.

The point is that someone ends up paying for this, or do you think all the protection you enjoy is entirely free of cost?  It costs banks and credit card companies to deal with things like this and you can bet they'll pass that cost on.  To whom?  To retailers, in the form of increased transaction fees (who will then increase their prices to cover it), and to consumers in the form of lower savings rates, higher interest rates, etc. 

So we do all pay in the end, all to cover the cost of you fruitlessly chasing a bargain iPhone.

Um interest rates really have no correlation to small time online scams and consumer rights LOL
