My resume turned out fantastic, being titled a FREE printable resume is completely misleading as it cost me money to print it, disguised as a 2 week sign up. I swallowed the couple of dollars to print it which i believed to be approximately $3-$4AUD after conversion.
I have just checked my credit card statement and i have the following charges...
$2.71AUD and $1.34AUD (same day) plus 0.12AUD in international fees.

Then 2 weeks later, when my sign up should have lapsed, i was charged another $33.84AUD as well as another $1.02 in international fees!

So this one resume has cost me $40.01AUD already! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED.
Clearly we have a different idea of what FREE means!

When I went into my 'account' just now i see that t is set to active with a monthly subscription. And i KNOW I did not select that option.
