May v. Apple, 58 U.S. 845 (2011).

Today I fired the first shots in what may be my first "plaintiff experience".

I sent the following letter to PayPal and iTunes (Apple):

Dear Apple and PayPal:

There was not category for my question that said "I'm being screwed by PayPal and iTunes every time I buy music", so I just picked one. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Every-time I make a purchase, Paypal double charges me!

I don't understand.

I just purchased Weeds Season 2 for $23.95 and was charged $33.95.

Every $.99 song I purchase has cost me $1.99

I'd request at this time a refund of all double charges incurred since my account became active. I would also request a prompt reply and explanation for this occurrence.

A copy of this email has been saved for my records, should further action become necessary.


I will be awaiting your response.

Sincerely,
Jonathan May

I won't stand for this kind of abuse!

Okay, thats a touch dramatic...

But still, I wanted to make sure they understand that I will do whatever is necessary to get a refund for the more than $47 they owe me.

Its in their best interest to settle out of court though - the last thing they want is a chance for me to get up and cry in front of a jury.

Hello Punitives!

Stay Tuned...
