an interesting article caught my eye today at the register, was wondering if something similar had happened to you guys, either via a computer glitch or some mess up.

ok I just phoned them ryoko, your account has been deducted $100 with interest charges.

handling charges are a rip off in themselves period. I mean $3 to ship something and an additional 3-4 to "handle" it. come on...
