Doesn't absolve them[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#11)

It does sound like a cookies issue, I'll agree. At the same time, the fault is still 100% with digital river, because it's their shopping cart, and if they allow you to purchase without cookies (I wouldn't know), they have an obligation to ensure that it works properly. Tacking on spurious charges because you have the wrong browser, wrong version, or cookies disabled, is a failure of design or testing, and merits a chargeback and an official complaint, if it isn't amicably refunded and fixed.

Since they're one of the companies that don't see a need for customer service, pushing it out on the software houses who use them, I doubt an amicable resolution is in the cards. At least email or call ISS to complain, and consider sending a letter to DigitalRiver.
