Punishing them by giving them £5? The bastards.
Is he not paying a monthly subscription on top of all this? They're getting their money back pretty quickly.
Again, he got a full refund AND £5. He lost nothing of value.
He would have to pay a monthly fee regardless of these events in order to watch the movie he bought. Now he doesn't have to, since he can't.
I suppose you're right.
I think in supposed to double down when I'm wrong on the internet... "How dare you make such outlandish claims! I'd Bezos doesn't send the user £1M plus a ticket for a space trip, then the user shouldn't settle!"
Was that good? 🤣
I doubt that he's paying a subscription for a single movie, besides he got refunded 5 extra bucks, which amounts to at least something
So now all of the movies to OP's name have a chance to get removed. How great /s
Are you fine with me taking anything from your home as long as I pay you the purchase price + £5? Some of us assign a greater value to some of the things we own than the purchase price.
Lol. "Taking from your home". Last time I checked, my home didn't have a monthly access fee for me to use the things I bought.
Now he is freed from that requirement as well. A triple win.
What are you talking about? Amazon's digital video purchases don't require any monthly access fee. He paid £5.99 with the idea that he'll get to keep it indefinitely, just like a physical DVD. I don't get why you think it is ok for a seller to revert the sale of a digital item at any time for just the purchase price + £5 but (I presume?) not other sales?
Ignoring all the rest, the issue is simply that it was never bought. He bought a licence to access it. If he expected to "keep" anything, he was an idiot.
I don't think it's okay, but if I'm dumb enough to waste money on this stuff, it's nice to get something extra for my stupidity.
