Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I see two/multiple charges on my online credit card statement?
If your credit card was declined on your first attempt(s) at placing an order (because your billing address or CVV was incorrect, etc), you will still see the 'pending authorization' that occurs anytime that you attempt to use your credit card. This does not mean that we charged you twice or multiple times - only the transaction that was approved will be converted into an actual sale.
The other pending authorizations from any declined attempts will 'fall off' of your credit card statement in a time period determined entirely by your card-issuing bank and the banking system. This is standard banking procedure, and we have absolutely no control over this time period or the process.
There will only be one actual charge placed on your credit card, and only one order for you in our system.
