Happened to me for 240k credits tonight (4 Spectre packs), but I did get all my items for the credits spent. Widow, Asari Adept, Krogan Sentinel, and some rare shotgun. The error occurred every time and I had to restart the game to get my items. Annoying not being able to see what I've unboxed, constantly having to restart every time I buy something.

I don't mind as much about the credits lost, i'm playing anyways so i'll earn them back, but for a few days now i can't purchase anything - no matter where or from which screen i access the store, and that pisses me off, cause i want better weapons for Gold and i want to unlock the damned krogan!

How long must a problem be known before they fix it?? I don't care its the middle of some weekend operation, the network is not working properly BioWare! fix it!

Seriously, the game has been out for almost a month now, and I lost my items on like the 3rd day, and still no refund? Nothing?

Fix this or Im seriously taking this higher, you've effectively as of right now stolen money from me, as I've gained nothing from the cash I spent.

Update 2x 60k spectre packs. Value credits exceeds bw point initially spend by far. Total exceeding 800 (but actual only 400 bw points spend).

I had the same problem, 3 times. First it was it with two recruit packs and I, due to the price of them, didn't mind, but, about 30 minutes ago, it happened the same thing with a spectre pack. I just have contacted the live chat and the guy who assisted me told me to look for help here. Then that's what I am doing.

Getting worried when we get the commendation packs and this error pops up 0.0

This bug seems to get worse then better. When the game launched and in the demo it happened to me sometimes. Now I cannot get a single pack any more without getting the error.

EA is also refusing to refund double-purchases. I had a single transaction today for $20 (1600 bioware points) post twice. I Was charged twice, and received the points twice. EA is stonewalling me, and telling me they cannot refund it. The second charge/transaction is a fraudulent charge, however.

Based on what I am reading here, if I pursue the fraud, I get punished? EA will ban my account if I pursue my legal rights under the VISA contract? 

Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so, what was the result?

(EDIT: No, I did not spend or use the second set of points.)

This has happened to me as well. Its frustrating to purchase anything in the store when it feels like you're gambling on whether it will work or not.

 Just got off the line with EA to get my points refunded, and I found out something very interesting. Well over the past 3 weeks I bought 3200 bioware points in 4 purchases. and bought 20 spectre packs with it. Well they only see that i bought 15 packs, and yet i have 0 points. So I say that the 800 points got lost because of the bug. Then he tells me that they were spend on a "Dragon Age 2 DLC Promo" that is not even on the list of dlc to buy (nor did google find anything like that), and  it is not even registered to me (I don't even own anything dragon age). The puchase code he gave me for the dlc matched the one for my last 800 bioware point order. Yet he says they sent me amail conferming the order of the dlc. Weird, but anyway he said I would get my points back. We'll see.

here is the transcript.

To those of you having the issue, have you tried buying a Recruit pack before you make larger purchases? That way you only lose 5000 credits instead of 60 000. This still needs to be fixed, but you can minimize the damage at least.
