Can't buy City Cash!

[Swiminn6]

I have $4.05 left on my iTunes account and I was going to take advantage of buying 24 city cash for $3.99 during the sale and it says "Insufficient funds"

I HAVE MORE ON MY ITUNES ACCOUNT THAN I ACTUALLY NEED!!

Does your location add sales tax to any purchase?
Some places get tax and some places don't (I, for example, live where the tax does not get applied so the cost in the store is the cost I pay).
If your location does add on tax then you didn't have enough for the item as sales tax would add on to it.

Well just be careful. I bought $50 worth of city cash when it was on sale. I did not get it and support@teamlava says basically too bad. I sent them my receipt from iTunes and they say they show purchase - well of course they do I did purchase I just didn't get. I guess they can take your money and claim you got whatever. I may just have to report to Visa and have them investigate this kinda iffy dealing!!!! Too bad they feel *****ing is a good deal for them - because that is exactly what it is.

$0.24 sales tax.

You needed $4.23 to go through with that transaction.

Is that tax in your area or is that the actual tax that iTunes charges? I was thinking of calculating what my local sales tax is but then I realized different places have different tax and since I've never had tax for iTunes I wasn't sure if they just charge the same amount of tax or if they do the local sales tax percent?

Apple charges the applicable LOCAL and STATE sales tax

That's what I thought, I just wasn't sure if you know where this person lives as they might actually have a different sales tax rate than you do.
Where I live (like I've said) we don't get taxed on iTunes even though we do have a sales tax here. I guess it's just different people tax differently to get more for their communities.

I thought that since sales tax is a state thing, online purchases only add tax if the online seller is in the same state as the online buyer. Might have changed though?

I don't think so as that would mean that only residents in California get taxed as Apple is based in Cupertino, CA and I'm in California and I still don't get tax. I get tax on different stuff online but I do know that any download I do - whether from iTunes or from amazon - I don't get charged sales tax on it.
