    How often do you charge $1,300-1,500 on your credit card?

    It's called Anti-Theft and it's a good thing. Just call your credit card company and tell them you authorize this purchase.

    Either way, this is the reason for it. It's a simple call and they can clear this up within a few minutes.

    But then I don't use paypal, hate paypal with a passion, I prefer my credit card company for security over paypal garbage. Paypal has a thousand ways to screw you over and very few ways to to get the screw up resolved....

    Meaning don't call Paypal to resolve this, call your credit card company as Paypal is about as useless as any online gateway processor out there, probably the worse.

    Had the same thing happen to me. I noticed it while I was out and called the 800 number that was listed. Took about 10m and they put the order through.

    The 1800 number says they only operate M-F. It's Saturday. I'm just a little worried. Since my order is on hold, is my order actually on hold, ready to ship, or are they only processing after its confirmed? I'm worried because it's not Order today, ships today anymore, so i dont want to have my order delayed for my A2... I expect it within does 4-7 days after I call in.

    When I called, it said that they were open Mon-Fri and Sun/Sat 9am - 1pm EST. You may want to give them a call tomorrow and see if you can get through. I placed my order Saturday morning at 9am. Checked order status at noon while out at lunch and called up and got it cleared.
