Can a website change the purchase price of a sale after its been submitted?

say you buy something online and you submit the order and they give you the email confirmation and all that, but it hasnt shipped, can they increase the price of the order for any reason like a misstake in price listing?Can a website change the purchase price of a sale after its been submitted?No.



If you have the confirmation code, that means that the credit card has been billed. It's too late to change the price.



If the confirmation code wasn't a credit card confirmation code but rather just a receipt, check it against what they finally sent you. If there is a discrepancy, call your credit card company. They'll deal with it for you. They have fraud units for this purpose.
