A lot of users say that PDFe.com often charges more than what it says it will, and what looks like a one-time download is sometimes actually a secret subscription.
The first thing you should do is use their official contact form to get in touch with customer service and ask for a full refund. Make sure you keep screenshots of both the advertised price and your billing account.
Consumer protection rules in both the EU and the US say that you can dispute the transaction with your bank through a chargeback if the company refuses or ignores your request.
