Report a duplicate or unrecognized charge
A double charge is often one pending authorization plus the final charge. Check your statement and email receipts, then contact the creator for a true duplicate, or your bank right away if you do not recognize the seller.

What should I look at first?
- The status, amount, currency, date, and descriptor on your statement.
- Whether anyone else in your household or business could have bought it.
- Receipts in every email address you use.
How do I figure out what the charge is?
- Compare the two entries. A pending one and a completed one can be a hold and its final charge, not two purchases.
- Search your email for the amount, creator, product, and date. Check the email on your wallet and browser autofill too.
- Open the creator's store from the receipt and confirm what you bought.
- If two completed charges belong to one order, write to the creator with both dates, both amounts, your checkout email, and any order reference.
- If you do not know the seller or think your card was stolen, lock the card and call your bank. Do not wait for an email reply.
- Report it to Tapmy Support with the store URL, amount, currency, dates, your checkout email if you know it, and the last four card digits only if asked.
What does a resolved case look like?
Each statement line is labeled pending, completed, reversed, refunded, or disputed, and you know who handles the next step.
Why might it still look wrong?
- A refund can sit next to the original charge until your bank posts the credit.
- Different currencies or exchange rates can make linked entries differ.
- Crop and redact the statement entry instead of sending the whole statement.
- A chargeback affects the seller's dispute process. Use it when it fits, not to settle a normal pending hold.
What happens next?
For a purchase you recognize, follow the seller's refund process. For a payment you do not recognize or suspected theft, continue with your bank and keep your Tapmy case reference.
