When will my credit card or paypal account be charged? What is the term Authorization?
If you used a credit card for payment your card will not be billed until the time that your items actually ship. If you payed with paypal your account is billed immediately when the order is placed. The original authorization at the time of order may appear as a hold on your account however, this is not a charge. Your card is actually charged only at the time of shipment. No charges are placed on your card prior to the items actually shipping.
