You have asked me to confirm my address? Why?
When you pay through PayPal, we get a notification from PayPal to advise us if the delivery address provided is confirmed on your PayPal account. If PayPal advise us that the address provided is not confirmed, we will need to receive confirmation from you in writing to allow us to send through your order.
When paying with your credit/debit card, several checks are carried out to protect your card from fraudulent activity. The most common check is to ensure that your billing address precisely matches that held by the card issuing bank. If some of the details match, but not all, we will email the email address provided to ask you to confirm. If none of the details match, then your order will simply be cancelled and refunded. You will receive an email to confirm this.
When will the payment go out of my account?
Once you place your order, the payment will be taken out of your account. We will not process your order until we receive the payment.
Why has my card been charged but my order didn't go through?
When you attempt to confirm and pay we send an authorisation to your bank/card issuer and they reserve the funds by placing a shadow transaction on your account. This makes sure that you can’t spend this money elsewhere. If payment fails or you abandon the payment, we will not request these funds and so your bank will release them back to you.
This shadow transaction may remain on your account for up to 6 days, unfortunately this is
completely out of our control.
