General Topics
I purchased an item, but it looks like I was charged twice.
The way our payment processing is set up, a pre-authorization occurs when your order is placed. Later, the payment is captured and that pre-authorization is voided. This pre-authorization will show up as “Pending” or “Authorization Request.” It is common for financial institutions to delay releasing the voided authorization on their end which causes the appearance of a double-charge. This is most likely the cause of the apparent double-charge on your account. If the pre-authorization charge does not disappear from your statement, you will need to contact your bank.
In rare cases, a card will actually be charged twice for the same order due to an error in the order processing. In those situations, you should see the same charge posted (not pending) twice in your bank or credit card account. Please notify our Customer Service team (888-784-1290) so that we can reverse the duplicate charge for you.
