Good, and as expected.

This is completely normal for companies to do this and there is a 99% chance that doing a chargeback will get your account immediately terminated.

You cannot have it both ways with chargebacks and keeping your account as I have said before [0] as it is rife with abuse and friendly fraud and the merchant reserves the right to suspend, terminate and ban your account if you do so as per their ToS.

So this is of course hardly a surprise here.

I think the difference here is that the OP of that post claims the representative told him to chargeback as the resolution to his issue. In their position, I would've probably done the same.

Okay but if you contact Google support and they say “initiate a chargeback” and you do so, should you get banned?

Of course. Getting support from Google is against Google policies, so they're free to ban you.
