When yo buy stuff do they instantly take payment, or is there a delay?

Only reason is that i need to get all my xmas shopping done tonight but i dont get paid till tomorrow, so i dont want the money coming out before tomorrow.


Any clues guys?

it's instant transfer from your card or bank

Instant.

Whenever ive bought stuff off amazon its always been instant payment

usually takes a couple of days for me

hmmm i wont chance it just in case

Use a cc and transfer £££ later.

I used to work for amazon. You pay for the items by card, but they don't take the funds until the items are ready to ship. In most cases it's instant as most items are on 24 hour availability. But if an item is on longer availability then it won't be charged until just prior to shipping.

No idea how Play.com work...

every thing i ever bought on line ever has always taken few days to show on card account

I use amazon and its always been the day the items dispatched theyve taken the money from my account...

Money may have been reserved before then though.

check out every thing at 1 minuet after midnight then it will be tomorrow

It may take a few day's to show, but the funds are taken instantly, as I have tried this before and as I have no overdraft it wouldn't accept payment.

if play have it in stock, they take paymnt and ship straight away, if its a delay they wait till it's in before hitting your card

wish i get paid tommorrow!
