It's a good question. We want Bitcoin acceptance to be straightforward for our users, so we deal with a failed confirmation on our side. We do not debit the user.

Hence the 0.5% fee. :)
I suspect this is the reason Bitpay is able to waive fees completely: they do not take responsibility for unconfirmed transactions.
