We are being charged an international transaction fee for our subscription

We are being charged an international transaction fee with our Creative Cloud subscription because it seems that Adobe is making the transaction from Dublin to avoid paying taxes in Australia (and probably everywhere else). That's fine but I don't expect to be penalised for Adobes tax avoidance practices.
I contacted them on chat to pursue this but went around on circles with the support agent who did not understand what I was saying and then did not follow through when they said that someone would be on touch with me (I wish I had kept the chat log but closed the window before I realised it wasn't automatic).
Anyone else being charged this fee in Australia? I was never told that we would be charged out of Ireland and that we may get hit with bank fees as a result. I am going to talk with our bank today and ask the ACCC and ATO what the deal is with Australian companies billing from overseas to avoid paying GST, etc.
I am happy with paying for creative cloud, it makes it more accessible but I don't want to be hit with hidden fees and charges due to dodgy accounting practices! :)

Hi there,
I'm having the exact same issue. I am located in Australia as well.
I have been getting charged for the overseas transaction fees for 2-3 years now but I've recently discovered that Adobe Australia shouldn't charge people this fee after I spoke to my work colleagues who have the same Creative Cloud subscription.
Adobe Australia said that they withdraw the subscription fee from an Australian account, not an international account, however, my bank has confirmed that the transactions were made by an international account and it says Dublin on my tax invoices as well.
It is a bit strange that none of my work colleagues have been changed for this fee even though they have the exact same subscription.
The only difference I can think of is that they have subscribed to Creative Cloud recently (2014 and 2015) and I did it a few years ago.
Adobe said that they will investigate this issue and get back to me in a few days but I am keen to know if this problem got fixed at your end.
It seems like Adobe has been aware of this problem for at least a few years.

  • Can I FaceTime someone from another country without being charged with international fees?

    Can I FaceTime someone from another country without being charged with international fees?

    here is how you actually do it put your phone in air plane mode you should see it when you open the settings app then go to wifi and turn it on this will let you use Imessage to text the person for free if they have a iPhone the same should apply for face time calling but since currently FaceTime can only be done over wifi it shouldn't charge you but the method above is what many would call a precaution ether way it should connect last resort download Skype face time app from app store setup account with both devices and you can chat over 3G or wifi without getting charged also enables connection for FaceTime to ios to android just in case any reader would like to connect to an android user that has a front facing camera.

    we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?

    Each phone needs to set its own sync settings on the various tabs in iTunes.  On the Apps tab, for example, uncheck the apps that you don't want on the phone being synced.  This article may also be of interest: http://gigaom.com/apple/itunes-101-multiple-devices-one-itunes-account/.
    You can change the Apple ID used for purchasing on her phone by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using her Apple ID.  However, be aware that if she has any apps on her phone purchased with your Apple ID she will still be prompted to enter the password associated with this ID for all future updates of these apps.  This is because apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID in Settings>Store.

  • I am opening a public access/community TV station soon. We are thinking of using Final Cut X for our staff

    I am opening a public access/community TV station very soon. We are thinking of using Final Cut X for our staff and community producers. I am curious if there are any special discounts for multiple purchases of computers, but also for Final Cut X software? Does anyone reading have any experience from a public access TV perspective?

    Hi SCaryPictures,
    I run a PEG station, where I have used FCP7, AvidExpressPro, Adobe CS6/CC, and FCPX - I am approaching 2 years with my FCPX experience. I'd be happy to engage with you in a private email thread about my experience (I value my access to the people on this forum, and I don't want the Apple staffers to take offence.) Good luck founding your station!

  • I would like to know why we're are being charged on our data plan while using wifi?

    I was told by a customer service rep that we must turn OFF data while on WiFi otherwise you are charged for data usage. What?? I thought that was the point if automatically connecting to WiFi, now my one line is almost at capacity and the service rep was no help. We've been Verizon customers for close to 10 years and were NEVER informed this tidbit of information.  It's ridiculous

    There are data connections being charged while at home on Wi-Fi.  We have even matched date and time to text messages that are being sent from that phone, again charged to data when that phone has unlimited text messaging.  So in our opinion everything is going on data – while on Wi-Fi, sending text messages, etc. 
    Customer service rep said that we must turn off data while on Wi-Fi – ridiculous what’s the point then?!?!  Obviously frustrated and appreciate your continued assistance.

  • I notice that my plan has 2.00000 GB available for use and we are being charged $50 for it.  Could we drop that to 1.00000 GB? What would be the savings?

    I need to talk with someone about changing the GB available on my Verizon plan

    Yes, there is a line access fee on top of the data fee, but the OP didn't say they were paying a total of $50 for their plan, but $50 for 2 GB of data which is the data charge for 2 GB of data on the More Everything plan which requires a line access fee for each line on the account.
    A 2 GB single line plan is $75 with 2 GB of data, so I simply assumed the OP was speaking of the data portion of a More Everything plan.
    Of course I could be wrong.
    These data tiers on More Everything are clearly available to anyone looking at the data tiers available on the More Everything page. You simply have to choose the data tier you would like. Yes, Verizon recommends a data tier for the number/type of phones on your account, but you can obviously choose a different amount if you would like.

  • Charged a broken device fee for a device not broken when sent.

    I needed to start communication with others in the community about my most recent transaction with Verizon, dating back to the start of January 2014. I have been a customer (with full subscription) of verizon wireless since 2010. My most recent transaction has been extremely unsatisfactory and has completely turned me off to renewing my contract with Verizon when it is complete.
    I opened a new line in November of 2013 in order to slowly phase into a phone number with an area code that matched my current living situation. I also wanted to enjoy a new phone, as my S3 had been slowly letting me down. My choice was the LG G2, which is a great phone with the exception of the first two that Verizon sent me had a major flaw, in which the phone would enter a lock loop, when I tried to open the phone up to use it. The issue happened over 50% of the time, and I had to wait several minutes in order to get the phone to work. Verizon, did what I thought at the time, was a very good job handling the issue and shipping me out replacements both times, finally landing on a 3rd LG G2 that did not have the issue.
    I received an email a few weeks later that I was being assessed a $299 fee for a broken device. I immediately reached out to Verizon to find out what the heck was going on. I did not send in a device that had any physical issues, and only known issue is that aforementioned problem with the lock loop, which Verizon admitted was a manufacturer defect and replaced it. I spoke with a rep who assured me he was on my side and would help me rectify the problem. I went through almost an hour of communication until he told me that he would have to do more research and get back to me. The only thing I received was an email showing me a phone with a large singular crack down the middle. This is either not my phone or the crack happened off of my watch. I don't think I should be held responsible. Am I wrong here? I have been relatively pleased with Verizon and I don't mind paying a premium because they seem to have good service. I do have to say that this is completely unfair, and out of the principle of the issue I wouldn't renew my contract with Verizon, This is a shame for them, or I would hope, as I have two current lines and just got engaged which would mean my fiance would sign on with me at the end of her contract. I am certainly thinking of going elsewhere now.
    I have spent a lot of money with these guys, and this seems like almost blatant robbery. If the cost made sense I would want to pursue the issue in small claims court. I am that insensed. At this point I started a new line to get a new phone and ended up paying more than retail for it, now I am saddled with another two year contract AS WELL AS having paid full price (now with a $299 fee) for the phone. I broke a screen once with my Samsung S3 and it cost me $100 to fix. I  would have NEVER sent a broken phone in to get charged $300 for. I have to say I am extremely dissapointed. Safe to say once I stroke that check Verizon will have officially lost a customer.

    Here is the problem. Verizon sent you a label to return the device via a carrier of their choosing. USPS or FedEx or UPS
    when you packaged it there is a certain responsibility that it is packed securely.
    Now having said that there can be a doubt; that the device was damaged by the return carrier. But that is an uncertainty, and it would be a decision for a court to decide.
    You can file a small claims case against Verizon wireless and ask for the $299 plus the filing fees and the amount you lose from work per hour and then have Verizon prove that the photo was actually your photo.
    Please be aware just showing a picture will not sway a judge to believe Verizon. They will get statements from employees at the return center attesting it was damaged in the return box.
    However your best defense will be to explain to the judge there is no proof that the damage was your doing. In that it could have been the return carrier. Or the return center.
    You may prevail. But it will take a little work on your part.
    Verizon will more than likely contact you prior to the court date to settle. If they do settle with you, get the settlement in writing first and for the full amounts. Do not agree to arbitration and if the settlement does not meet your needs simply refuse and go to small claims court.
    I wish you, Good Luck

  • Charging me a shipping fee for the new drive

    Cat you posted this and it's a small part of it but please explain why.
    A free CD containing the full application suite will soon to be available to order from our Online Store (a Shipping & Handling charge will apply).
    I paid for the card and as long as the card is not 5 years old I expect CL to support it for free. Why charge us a shipping charge when it could be put in the download section for all of us. This is why CL's days are numbered and if you think this monopoly Cl has over us will continue please call Senator Russ Fiengolds office here in Wisconsin and ask them what I have sent them.
    I have copied tons of peoples posts from last year and explained to them how this company takes money but never fixes the problems a lot of us have.
    I'm getting old waiting for you guys to get it together and would like to see something before I die.

    First let's clarify, they are not charging a shipping fee for the DRIVERS. You can download the drivers all you want. BUT if you want the full software suite IN ADDITION to the drivers then you gotta pay. It's just too large of a download for CL to host it. Which is why many of us agree that a bit torrent file would be the ideal solution. Everyone shares the bandwidth. http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=6344?It kinda sucks that we don't even get so much of a "We'll pass along the idea of hosting a .torrent file to the people in charge" from the mods ... I mean hell, back when I was a moderator for evga's forums we were in direct contact with the head marketing guy. We would constantly pass along things?from the forums like that.
    And evga LISTENED to the people, and even involved them in some of the decision making process. It's really not that hard. And we were able to share information about software fixes, etc. HEAR THAT MODS? Seriously, all you have to do is say "We'll look into the possibility of hosting a .torrent" and you've instantly satisfied a lot of people concerning this issue. WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT?!? I've been in your shoes...(well not really...evga never pissed off as many people as CL has lately...) I understand that it is difficult having to deal with a bunch of people who are this upset. But...seriously... The effort to try to appease the pitch-fork and torch wielding mob seems a little sketchy at best. *sigh*?

  • Why am i being billed an early termination fee for a device returned within the 2 weeks?

    Why am I being billed for a device I returned within the two week period plus another 105 fees on top of that? This is appalling. My husband got cancer and I couldn't afford the extra devices we got on Black Friday so returned them within the two week period and are now being billed $280 in extra fees plus tax? I think this is fraudulent charges and I can get no help calling - I was sent to a disconnected number after waiting over 20 minutes.

    yes I did --- it was a PROMO and the reps lied to me. I've been a customer for over 10 years and am so disgusted I think I am going to have to change carriers. I run a PR firm and have NEVER been treated with such disregard and been subject to a bait and switch. It is no wonder Verizon is being taken to task for such unfair business practices.

  • Being charged £12.00 per month for BT Sport when I...

    Hello,
    I have previously sent this to a support email address but have received no response.
    I want to sign up to BT TV and get a Youview box, but when checking my account, I saw that I am getting changed £12.00 per month for BT Sport. This is a service which I do not even use, I signed up to it as a customer service advisor on the telephone advised that it was free to me as I am an Infinity broadband customer.
    I need this resolved, I am perfectly happy with the phone and broadband service we receive from you and I am excited to get BT TV, but I really am disappointed about this (it will explain why the budget kept going AWOL!) This appears to have been happening since November 2013, with some obscure charges of around £7.00 in other months. I want this service cancelled and I would really appreciate the charges for this service reimbursed.
    Kind regards,
    Craig

  • Sales taxes are being calculated on the conditions tab for service master

    Hi All,
    Create a PO for the following - Acct assignment cat F, item cat D, plant A001, CC USJ2, Pur org US10. Choose a service master. If you see in line item and check the conditions tab, you will find NAVS value is 0. Same NAVS value goes to EKPO-NAVNW where it is showing as 9% of the PO amount which actually should be 0. The scenario can be simulated by adding another line item copying an existing one. Now if we go to invoice tab and remove Jurisdiction code manually and then again put back the same Jur code, the problem vanishes.

    First point of call is to contact your credit card company and put the items in dispute.
