If you use per-creation billing and you’ve ticked the option to charge members for a post and delete that post within the same month, any pending member bills will be deleted. In this case, members won’t be charged if you delete your post within the same month it was created. It’s not possible to retroactively bill members for posts you’ve published as unpaid.
