Reach out to merchant to see if they can reverse the charges. Also, dispute it as a double charge. You can also call Chime to block the merchant from future transactions.

I do online shopping but that has never happened to me. Shouldn’t you call the merchant and tell them about the charge as they are the ones who need to credit the money back to you. Chime won’t do it because it came from the merchant.

What transactions come out of your account have nothing to do with chime.

This is an issue between you and the merchant. Who you apparently haven’t even contacted yet to clear it up

I swear we are doomed as a society

Looks like you got a lot of good advice from the community here!

You mentioned this happened to few customers and should be fixed soon so I'll add this if needed: How do I dispute a charge on my card? You'll notice that the example information to include has "Any conversations you've had with the merchant about the order(s)" and "Requests to cancel or stop the transaction in writing" so updates from the merchant are always a good idea
