There are not much risks involved as the website is encrypted also the payments is processed through banks or reputed organisations. However, there are chances for double payment or payment failures.

Thanks for your interest. It can be an error from both the ends - merchant as well as customer. In terms of customer, either your input credentials might go wrong which will result in payment failures. Double payment maybe due to the time delay taken for your first initial payment (might be an payment failure too) and you've made the same payment again. Whereas in this case, one of your payments can be revered easily by contacting your bank. There are certain websites with a poor maintenance which results in payment failures or double payments also this can be intentional too.

That's a good question. However, you'll have no idea if that's intentional or a normal error. Yet if you proceed further, you'll end up at lose ends only. And also our first intention is to get our money back rather than digging deeper :P

Haha, you're right by digging it we only end up losing our time without gathering any appropriate information, Anyway if the double payment is intentional we are never going to get our money back. Then it's better to save our time and energy.
