FYI: The $25 box is checked automatically and there is no confirm window after the paypal window. I just accidentally payed $10 over what I wanted to pay. That "checkout area" needs to be a little more clear I think. I didn't even realize that was the checkout area. I honestly didn't even notice the amount bubbles and was wondering when I was supposed to plug in what I wanted to pay. I was super confused when I got to the last page. Didn't notice until I got the paypal notification on my phone and went back to the main page.
I realize I'm dumb, but maybe someone will read this and not make the same mistake.
- bawigga 9y agoAt least some of that $10 went towards a good cause!
- Jare 9y agoAll of it went to good causes imho. :)
- staikken 9y agoNote also if for some reason the payment fails (for example an error with the captcha) the payment resets to $25. Didn't catch it the second time through the payment process.
- mavrc 9y agoHaving done this myself, in my case, a quick email to the Humble support team got the order cancelled and I was able to re-order at the correct price. I agree that it would be nice if the price required active confirmation; it's too easy to choose the wrong thing.
- ineedtosleep 9y agoYep, I also did the same and accidentally clicked on the "Pay Instantly with Paypal" button -- which indeed did what it said it would. I supposed I'm not too torn up about it since I put a large majority of the purchase towards charity, but I feel like I fell for a subtle UX trap even after 10+ Humble Bundle purchases.
