Hello saeb177, Thanks for reaching out to us for help. You're in the right place to get support with your pending transactions. First, we'd like to say that you can double-check by adding up the pending transactions to verify there's enough money in your account to cover them. Also, remember that purchases can take 1-3 days, sometimes more, to clear with the bank. Pending means, it has not been charged to your bank account yet. With that said, once your pending transactions finally post to your account, the links below will show you how to request a refund from Apple and check the status of your refund.
