[cloopmo]

my credit card wont get charged until it is available, correct?

[eddie]

correct

[DELICIOUS HOT COCK]

Yes, unless you use PayPal.

[Mangojoyride]

if you use paypal and they cant ship the item, they just refund your money back to the paypal account. so its better to straight up use the credit card.

unless your paranoid like me.

As long as you have money in your (bank) account, it's safe to use your card.

And you also probably wont get it for weeks.

In general no place will charge your CC until they actually ship it. They will send an authorization first. Any online store that is legit will practice that.
