Talon Comics- Highly Annoying

[drothgery]

I'd guess that sites that charge immediately are, for the most part, very small companies, so either the normal laws regarding mail-order sales don't apply (possible; I'm not a lawyer, but many regulations don't apply to businesses with fewer than fifty employees) or neither buyers nor the sellers are aware of their legal obligations. Also the law varies from state to state (and of course from country to country).

But there are very strong reasons why you should never be charged for a product until it has shipped. Most notably, it's protection against fraud.

Well the guy said he had a Paypal Reciept.
Paypal pays as soon as you submit it.

I know for a fact that Derek doesnt charge your credit card until he ships it if that is how you decide to pay for it.

Just for the record.

Darrin is totally correct. I use Paypal on my website just for the convenience and ease of use. I do take checks, money orders and credit cards direct as well. I don't charge credit cards until a couple of days before.

Paypal also has 30 day protection where you can contend the charge if you feel like you're getting ripped off somehow.

I certainly don't want anyone to feel like they're getting ripped off.
