This does not match my experience with my App, Nikola. I've been able to match up the transactions and refunds as 1 to 1, price-wise.

Thank you for weighing in. Hearing from more devs is what this thread needs, IMO, not rumor mongering.

Great website, by the way!

Out of curiosity, can you say whether Tesla has approached you for acquisition?

Interesting. I wonder if it varies from region to region perhaps? Going to do a bit more research as this guy seems quite convinced they are taking the cut but evidently you’ve experienced otherwise!

    Yeah I'm not sure what the discrepancy is. This afternoon I'm going to dig a bit more into my records.

    In my data right now I see a few examples of an $80 purchase match to $56 in proceeds (70%) matched to $56 of a refund.

    I can't say I think the 30% fee is appropriate anymore, but this particular case being made about refunds does not appear to be accurate for me at least.

      Could be that this developer is confused, maybe the way Apple represent the data is confusing in the records or something... in which case my apologies for spreading false information, but he seemed pretty convinced!

Thanks for a different perspective.

The group think on here always reaches a fever pitch when it comes to Apple - HN is particularly susceptible to it
