I have apple charges appearing on my bank account. I only play Scrabble and Spades on this
device, and I do buy "help" in those games. Am I being charged an additional apple fee for doing
that?

If you purchase something for $4.99 through an in-app purchase, that is what you are charged.
The fee that Apple collects for themselves is embedded within that $4.99 charge.
This works akin to the European VAT tax (embedded into purchase) than the inexplicably convoluted US sales tax system (added onto the purchase price).

You’ll get a purchase indication and prompt when using in-app purchases. And you’ll be charged.

Okay so for example. I purchased 4.99 help package on Scrabble. I do see the 4.99 purchase, so is that all that will
show up on the bill, or does Apple charge some other fee for doing the purchase? I guess that is a better way to ask
my question. Thank you for replying.
Does Apple charge a separate fee if you buy "help" on the games you play.
