If you get over the fact that you used ubuntu to make this purchase then the steps seem fairly obvious.
If the money has not left your account yet, then contact your bank. If the money has left your account, contact ubuntu one support. I agree that the error message could have been more informative, but as a programmer I can also testify to the impractical chore of designing error messages for every eventuality. It's just not possible with an integrated system, therefore its better that "some error" did get displayed rather than passing silently. As for the bug report, you don't have enough info to file anything that will get looked at, at best the bug will sit there for a while until one of the maintainers buys something and closes it because they can't reproduce. Your best bet is to report the problem to whoever took the payment and let them work out what went wrong. Bodsda
