Ads costing more then what I set as maxiumum CPC ?!

[Percept]

Hi,

I started my first Adwords campaign today and I'm seeing something strange ...

I have set the max CPC per keyword at 0.1€ (it's a non-competitive market :p ) but one of my keywords has had 3 CT's for 0.11€

It's not much ( 0.01€ ) but why set a limit if they're not going to hold to it ?

I have had cases where a test was being run, the maximum was £.50 & I was charged £3.57 for one click!

Did you contact Google about it ?

I have had cases like this, but anything over and beyond what I had set as either my maximum CPC or CPD always seemed to be credited to my account at invoice time.

I have not seen this published anywhere though so contacting Google is probably a good idea for clarification.

Check you landing page and make sure its relevant to you ads.

I've been charged more than my daily limit a few times, but never been charged more than my max CPC.
For one particular campaign, my daily limit was $60 and I got charged $65 a few times. That was more than a year ago when my campaign was still just an infant and it hasn't happened again since then, so I never complained to Google about it.
