Hey @sirwalliam_1 .

Thanks for reaching out and bringing this to our attention.

In order for us to take a further look into the billing of the store, we are required to verify you as the store owner. Since we cannot authenticate you over the Community forums due to the sensitive information that needs to be shared, I am unable to view the specifics. In this case, I believe it would be best to reach out to our live support about the domain to advise next steps. You can get in direct contact with a Support Advisor about this situation by navigating to the Help Center.

Let me know if you have any questions.
