About Ernesto Alcalá

Ernesto Alcalá is an independent Spanish‑Australian musician and poet based in Brisbane, Queensland. His official website, ernestoalcala.com, showcases his work primarily as a contemporary poet, including his poetry collections “Geometría de lo imposible” (2021) and “Insinuaciones del agua” (2023), both published by Valparaíso Ediciones. He also performs as a jazz pianist (often in duo with saxophonist Nathan Parker) and offers literary events such as readings and presentations of his books. Purchases on his site are processed through Pin Payments under the name “Ernesto Alcala Jimenez,” which is likely what appears on your bank or card statement. ([ernestoalcala.com](https://www.ernestoalcala.com/))

A charge from Ernesto Alcalá will most often relate to the purchase of one of his poetry books directly from his website. Current prices shown via his Pin Payments checkout are typically $20.00 AUD or €12.00 EUR per book, with shipping included in the amount, and payments can be made by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. ([pay.pinpayments.com](https://pay.pinpayments.com/r102?amount=20&amount_editable=false&description=Libro+de+poemas+%22Geometr%C3%ADa+de+lo+imposible%22.+Gastos+de+env%C3%ADo+incluidos.)) You might see one or more one‑time charges if you ordered both titles, bought multiple copies, or placed separate orders (for example, gifts). While his primary products are one‑off book purchases, there is a small possibility that the same payment link could be reused for things like event tickets or private workshops, which would also appear as individual card charges rather than a formal subscription.

If you’re unsure about a charge, first compare the amount and currency on your statement to the prices shown in his online payment pages (commonly around $20 AUD or €12 EUR per item, shipping included). Then check your email (including spam/junk folders) for a payment confirmation from Pin Payments or a receipt referencing “Ernesto Alcala Jimenez” around the transaction date, and review any recent orders you placed through ernestoalcala.com. ([pay.pinpayments.com](https://pay.pinpayments.com/r102?amount=20&amount_editable=false&description=Libro+de+poemas+%22Geometr%C3%ADa+de+lo+imposible%22.+Gastos+de+env%C3%ADo+incluidos.)) If you still have questions—such as duplicate billing, a mistaken order, or needing to modify/cancel an order before it ships—use the contact form on his website’s “Contacto/Contact” page to reach him directly, providing your name, email, approximate charge amount and date, and the last 4 digits of the card used so he can locate the transaction and discuss options like corrections or refunds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of charges from Ernesto Alcalá should I expect to see on my bank or card statement?

Most legitimate charges from Ernesto Alcalá relate to purchasing his poetry books directly from his website, ernestoalcala.com. These payments are processed via Pin Payments and may display on your statement as something similar to “PIN* Ernesto Alcala Jimenez” or “Pin Payments – Ernesto Alcala,” with an amount that matches the book price plus shipping (commonly around $20 AUD or €12 EUR per book). ([ernestoalcala.com](https://www.ernestoalcala.com/))

What are the typical prices for Ernesto Alcalá’s books and related products?

Ernesto Alcalá currently offers his poetry collections through fixed‑price payment links. “Geometría de lo imposible” and “Insinuaciones del agua” are each listed at $20.00 AUD or €12.00 EUR, with shipping included in the total. ([pay.pinpayments.com](https://pay.pinpayments.com/r102?amount=20&amount_editable=false&description=Libro+de+poemas+%22Geometr%C3%ADa+de+lo+imposible%22.+Gastos+de+env%C3%ADo+incluidos.)) If you see a charge near these amounts (or a multiple of them), it likely corresponds to one or more book purchases or similar literary products purchased from his site.

Does Ernesto Alcalá offer subscriptions or recurring billing?

There is no indication on ernestoalcala.com of any subscription service or automatic recurring billing; his published payment links are for one‑time purchases of specific books at fixed prices. ([ernestoalcala.com](https://www.ernestoalcala.com/)) If you see repeated charges, they usually reflect multiple separate orders (for example, ordering more copies or placing gifts), or in rare cases a billing error. If you notice a pattern that looks like a subscription (same amount, same day each month) and you did not authorize multiple orders, contact him via the website form and also speak with your bank or card issuer.

How can I cancel or modify an order I placed with Ernesto Alcalá?

Because purchases are processed as one‑time card payments through Pin Payments, there is no self‑service cancellation portal. If you need to cancel or adjust an order (for example, wrong address or quantity) and believe it has not yet shipped, use the contact form on the “Contacto/Contact” page at ernestoalcala.com as soon as possible, providing your name, email, the exact amount charged, currency, and the date of the transaction. ([ernestoalcala.com](https://www.ernestoalcala.com/)) He can then locate your payment and let you know whether changes or a cancellation are still possible.

How do I request a refund or resolve a duplicate or incorrect charge from Ernesto Alcalá?

If you suspect you were charged twice, were billed the wrong amount, or did not receive what you ordered, start by checking your email for the Pin Payments receipt(s) and comparing them to your bank statement entries. Then contact Ernesto through the website’s contact form, describing the issue and including screenshots or details of the duplicate/incorrect charges (amount, date, and last 4 digits of the card). ([ernestoalcala.com](https://www.ernestoalcala.com/)) Since a formal refund policy is not published on the site, refunds and billing corrections are likely handled case by case; if you cannot reach a resolution, you can also follow up with your bank or card provider about disputing the transaction.

Why do I see a small or test‑sized charge related to Ernesto Alcalá or Pin Payments?

When paying online via Pin Payments, some banks temporarily place a small test authorization to verify your card; this can appear as a very small pending charge separate from the main book purchase. These authorization holds are usually reversed automatically and should drop off your account within a few business days. ([pay.pinpayments.com](https://pay.pinpayments.com/r102?amount=20&amount_editable=false&description=Libro+de+poemas+%22Geometr%C3%ADa+de+lo+imposible%22.+Gastos+de+env%C3%ADo+incluidos.)) If a small verification amount remains posted for longer than a week or you see it repeatedly, contact your bank or card issuer and mention that the main transaction was processed via Pin Payments for “Ernesto Alcala Jimenez.”

How can I contact Ernesto Alcalá about a charge or an order?

The primary way to reach Ernesto Alcalá for billing or order questions is via the contact form on the “Contacto” or “Contact” page of his official website, ernestoalcala.com. ([ernestoalcala.com](https://www.ernestoalcala.com/)) In your message, include your full name, the email address used at checkout, the amount and currency charged, approximate date of payment, and any reference number from your Pin Payments receipt so he can quickly locate your transaction.

I don’t remember buying a book—could this charge still be from Ernesto Alcalá?

If someone else in your household or a friend used your card (with or without your knowledge) to purchase one of his books—often as a gift—the charge would still appear in your name as a Pin Payments transaction linked to “Ernesto Alcala Jimenez.” Check with family members, review your email accounts (including spam folders) for any order confirmations, and look at your browser history around the transaction date for visits to ernestoalcala.com or pay.pinpayments.com. ([ernestoalcala.com](https://www.ernestoalcala.com/)) If no one recognizes the purchase and you find no receipts, contact him via the site and then speak with your bank about potential unauthorized use.
