You're issuing a chargeback because you made a mistake and spent someone else's resources? And you're admitting to this on HN? I'm not a lawyer, but that sounds like fraud and / or theft to me.
It’s not, read the terms of your credit card. It’s basically “I didn’t intend to buy this. I tried in good faith to contact the merchant for return and support. I was ignored. I’m contacting you.”
It’s pretty convenient for companies like Comcast and Google that have poor customer service.
GCE charged me for "Chinese egress" but doesn't provide me a way to block China via firewall or other methods. They have the ability to check and bill me for it but if I want to use the same logic for a firewall rule I'm on my own. That sounds like theft and or fraud to me.
OP sounds like they're just defending their selves from ambiguous draconian billing robots.
