I bought a game from half.com for $70 and had a problem with one bank card, so I used another, and in the end it charged both. Any ideas of what I should do? I looked for contact info but didn't find any.

Dammit, the only reason I came into this thread was to make that joke :lol:
Could be that the seller had more than one available (you can list up to 100 of the same item on one listing on Half) and so you actually did buy 2 of them. I'd send a message to the seller ASAP to see if that is what happened and to ask him to please cancel one of the purchases.
You could also try contacting Half (they must have an e-mail somewhere) but I bet my scenario is what went down.

No of course not. I tried to use one, didn't work, used another, both got charged $70 for one $70 game purchase.

Well obviously not. The purchase didn't show up, and said I had nothing in my cart, no recent purchases, etc. and the item disappeared for an hour (meaning it was in my cart) and when it showed back up an hour later for sale again I tried to buy it again, and then I had to use my other bank card.

That sucks.
Usually when I have a credit card problem, I wait a *full day* to verify it didn't go through. Sometimes the data is sent, but the actual transaction is delayed for some reason.
It's too bad you didn't use the SAME card. Then you could just call the credit company and say, "I've been double-charged. Please fix it."
