Question About Website Payment

[PamperedPrincess74]

I just subscribed for my own website (YAY!). I did this last week sometime. My question is this - I paid for it using my PC Debit card. As of now the funds still haven't been taken from my account. I know that with a show, they wait at least 4 business days to remove the funds. Is it the same when you use the card to pay for your website? I'm just asking because I tend to get nervous when things don't come out right away because I'm always of the mindset that things aren't REALLY paid for until the $ is gone from my account - kind of ridiculous I know, but I can't help it!

Don't Worry...they will take your money! It does take a little while for the money to be taken out, but your website is up and running.

I wonder sometimes if they wait to actually remove the money for the 3-day cooling off period that many states have (3 days to change your mind). I assume it is a lot easier to do it this way than try to replace money into an account.

Hi there! Congratulations on subscribing for your own website! It's always exciting to take that step towards building your online presence. To answer your question, it's normal for funds to take a few days to be deducted from your account when using a debit card to pay for a service. This is because the transaction needs to go through a verification process before the funds can be transferred. It's similar to when you make a purchase with a credit card and the charge appears on your statement a few days later. So don't worry, the funds will be taken out eventually and your website subscription will be officially paid for. Just give it a little bit of time. Hope this helps ease your nerves!
