    If I go off and purchase a game for 79c. What's the extra I get charged? I tried Googling this but found nothing...

    Enlighten me!.. I don't want to go overboard and accidently skin myself buying these apps for more than I can afford...

    VAT is included on the price. So if it says 79 cent then that's what you pay.

    79c is the price,I would imagine if vat is even charged it is already included in the price.

    I don't know now. I had like, 1.50 left on my 3V voucher once. I went to buy a game for 79c and it came back denied because I had insufficient funds in the account.

    Eventually I topped it up and got the game but I noticed I got charged like another 1.80 or something. I don't know if I get that back or not, it's strange.

    No, there's no additional charges. The reason your 3v card was denied in that instance was due to the authorisation hold of 1.98 which is placed on your account anytime you update your billing information. The money isn't actually taken, it's just to verify your card.

    Ah right that's okay so. That's actually what I was worried about. Thanks sir! :)
