“I tried to pre-order the phone and pay the $100 downpayment,” Cox wrote in his opinion piece, “but the website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70.”

Despite being undercharged, Cox received a vague confirmation email from TrumpMobile.com stating he would receive an update when the phone shipped, despite never providing a shipping address or paying the full $499 price.

If you have to pay 100$ to someone and then choose to pay in a different currency, I would assume the credit card company withdraws a value high enough they don't loose money when paying that someone.

I'm guessing someone misconfigured their ecomm platform for say, $100 AUS instead of $100 USD and so when the third party processes that it hits the USD account as $64 USD.
