I purchased two $9.95 introdcutory CDs (Spanish and French) on the Pimsleur's web site and they automatically billed me 2x $256 = Total of $512 for the additonal CDs that they have sent after my $9.95 orders.

They have placed the following note right before you click to purchase your $9.95 CDs that states:
By clicking below, I agree to pay $9.95 and enter the Rapid Learning Program per the adjacent terms and conditions.

Furthermore, there is an explnation to the left that states the following:
Rapid Learning Program: One month after you get started with your Quick & Simple you'll
continue by receiving 30 day trial copies of advanced Pimsleur courses in the language you
selected. Each course is yours to try for 30 days. You'll receive a new course once every 60 days.
For each course you keep we'll bill you in four monthly payments of $64. Simply pay the return
shipping cost for any course you return. Remember, there's never an immediate obligation to buy
any course because of the 30-day trial period provided with each shipment. And you may cancel
future shipments at any time by calling 1-877-802-5283. See Key Details

IF you are not carefull and overlook this information since the screen is filled with additional promotional junk, you are going to be legally liable to pay for these unwanted CDs arriving at your door.
This is the old bait and switch routine. They are legally covered, since thay placed the information on the screen, but how often you spend an hour reading all the details for a 9.95 purchase?
Avoid buying Pimsleur prodcuts and look for Rosetta Stone or somthing else. If a company has a good prodcut, they do not have to use misleading techniques and still your money.
AVOID purchasing any PIMSLEUR prodcuts.
