How does Debit Card Authorization work?
A. When you make a debit card purchase, Scoutstuff.org requests authorization from your bank for the transaction. Your bank immediately places a hold on your account for that amount. When your merchandise ships, Scoutstuff.org charges your account and the actual withdrawal takes place. If there is a delay in fulfilling your order, we will again request authorization from your bank to verify that funds are still available. If your order is cancelled, you may contact your bank to request an immediate release of the hold placed on your account. Please note it may take your bank several business days to release a hold that they have placed on your account.
