TIL never to buy physical products directly from Google!
Or for that matter to never use Google Pay, even if the c/c charge isn't run by them. You could go from "credit card buyer protection" to Google Doomsday with a single disputed charge.
I wonder how they handle "bank reversals", where a report of a stolen card (but not specifically a customer-generated chargeback) results in a reversal of the charge by the bank and issuance of a new c/c?
The difference being that a customer-generated chargeback for "goods or services not delivered" is handled differently by the bank than a "my card was stolen, reverse these charges" issue.
- creeble 4y agoTo further my question: I have a c/c I use for Google. Said card # is stolen, and used to buy Google services (under a different ID). I call the bank, they cancel the card and refund the amounts charged to Google for the unknown services. What is the chance of Google cancelling my other account, since it was on the same card?

- polotics 4y agoVery good point about Google Pay. I never thought of that but you're right. If some vendor's misbehaviour ends up cascading in my losing access tp my Google account this would be catastrophic. Thanks a lot. Removing it now.
- tlogan 4y agoI would rather suggest the following: do not buy anything worth more than $99 from companies which do not offer human support. And if you decide to do chargeback assume that that is a "nuclear option": that you will never be able to use that company again.
