[QUOTE="donna723, post: 485322, member: 1883"] Wow! That was fast! I already got a "canned" email response back from them. This must happen a lot! It says: [I] "Hello, [/I] [I]I'm sorry for any misunderstanding about the unknown charge of $1.00. [/I] [I]When you place an order with us, we authorize your credit card for $1.00 to confirm your card has a valid number and hasn't been reported lost or stolen. If you have a seller account on our website, we also periodically authorize your card to ensure your account information is up-to-date. [/I] [I]We don't actually proceed with the $1.00 charge--we'll charge you when the order ships. The authorization should drop off of your credit card within 7-10 business days, depending on how long your bank holds authorizations." [/I]When I ordered the gift card, I did have to re-enter my card number as validation although I've never been asked to do that before. But this wasn't a credit card, it was a debit card, and the charge is already showing as "pending" on my checking account statement! Can they withdraw the charge when it's already showing on my account? Seeing as how this was about the 20th thing I ordered from them in the last few weeks, I wouldn't think my account had to be "verified". [/QUOTE]
