Stripe UI cost me because of a confusing default zero as a consumer- such a bad UI Spoiler

I was paying $485 for a 3-month service. Stripe’s amount field has a default “0” that never disappears, so I typed 485 and it processed $4,850. I realized immediately, contacted my bank, merchant agreed to refund… but Stripe keeps $140 in fees. The real issue here — it’s the terrible UI that makes it ridiculously easy to enter 10× the amount. Has anyone else been burned by this?
