When You Are Charged
The timing of the charge depends on your selected payment method:
| Payment Method | Authorization | Actual Charge |
| Visa | An authorization hold is placed on your card at the time of order. This hold reduces your available credit but is not an actual charge. | The actual charge occurs when your order is processed for dispatch, typically within 1–2 business days of placing the order. |
| MasterCard | Same as above. | Same as above. |
| PayPal | Not applicable. PayPal does not use authorization holds. | The full payment amount is taken from your PayPal account at the time you complete the checkout. |
Why You May See a Pending Charge
If you pay with Visa or MasterCard, you may see a “pending” or “temporary authorization” on your card statement immediately after placing your order. This is not an actual charge. The authorization will either:
- Convert to an actual charge when your order is processed (1–2 business days), or
- Expire and disappear if your order is canceled (typically within 3–7 business days, depending on your bank)
