Relax!!! It happened to me too a few times. It sucks, but this is just the cost of doing business. And it's in the Android Market agreement that you accepted.
If you were to handle the credit-card transations yourself, you would be complaining much louder. Just do a google search for 'chargeback' on credit cards and see what small businesses (e.g. convenient stores, pop-and-moms stores) think about this issue. Compared to them, this $3 is peanuts. Google handles credit card transactions and checks for fraud and such. This is not full-proof, but if you would have to deal with it yourself... not fun. For purchases of $10 or more, Google will initiate an investigation. But under that, you'll get an automatic $3 chargeback. Basically what happened to you is that your app has been 'stolen' twice. Again, it sucks and i do hope that it won't happen again to you (or me or anybody else). You've been victim of a petty crime...
