Failed sims 4 purchase but card charged

Product: The EA app
Platform:PC
Error Report ID (learn how to create an Error Report ID in the sticky post)
Which client functionality are you experiencing this bug with? Other (Please Describe)
Please describe A game addon(sims 4 Highschool years pack)
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 29,2,2024
Summarize your bug This is the first time this happened but I want it to be the last I have brought a sims 4 add on but it says my card has been charged for about 40 dollars BUT it said error and said purchase failed which also won’t allow me to get a refund. When i was charged it said graze charged me. But I never got the sims pack (Highschool years)
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I found it by downloading a sims pack on the EA app on pc
What happens when the bug occurs? I don’t get the sims pack or my money back because it said it failed
What do you expect to see? I expect either my money back or the sims pack or if your generous both I just want one or the other though .

I have been charged 40 dollars a for a sims addon (Highschool years) but didn’t get the pack and was told the purchase failed but I didn’t get the money back 

  • Hey there @bykj3va9co32 

    If the charge is showing as failed in your order history, that means we did not receive the funds for this purchase. However, if you were still charged for this pack, you'd want to get in contact with your bank or payment method you used for this purchase so they can look into this a bit further with you and see what's going on.

    Thank you for the reminder about the BBB I hate having to resort to that but it’s clear EA knows this is a problem and is failing to do anything to mitigate/correct the issue.

    This just happened to me. If it happened two years ago, you'd think EA would have figured it out by now.

    Yeah...or you can just file a complaint with the BBB and let EA handle it through them. I tried every chatbot phrase I could and got no help. Now, the BBB is handling it for me. So nice to sit back and wait.
