Multiple PayPal users have been incorrectly charged for purchasing Mac OS X Lion from the App Store. One user claims to have received a bill of nearly $4,000 for the $30 software.



The glitch will show up in PayPal accounts as multiple $29.99 charges, however in Apple's purchase history, there is only one purchase. Users have reached out to Apple, but have not been able to get a refund yet. Both companies are blaming each other for the overcharge, but are claiming that they are investigating.

The story started on the Official Apple Support Forums which was filled with users who were mistakenly overcharged for Lion. So far this problem has only been connected to users who have a PayPal account. Paypal says the multiple charges came from the iTunes store, but Apple claims the iTunes store only charges users once.

Some have reported getting hit with overdraft fees and other charges because of the mistaken multiple charges. Fortunately, Apple is investigating the cause of this glitch, but for now we recommended not using PayPal to purchase Lion from the App Store.
