Authorization charge?!
I bought a 231$ item and my card detected it as fraud and stopped the payment. Once I continued by, allowing the payment through text, the item was never purchased but the amount (231$) was taken.I contacted eBay and Apparently this is a authorization charge. I can't buy the product until the money is returned to me. Has this also happened to anyone else?

·2 years agoHelp! I'm in the same situation...
Ebay Support is the worst!! You can't get connected to a human agent by that chat assistant. I hope someone can help with this...
Here's my case: I tried buying some items from my ebay cart a few days ago for just over $1k and even with sufficient funds in my PayPal wallet the checkout wasn't successful. I then decided to buy one item from the cart & it checked out successfully. I later found out that my wallet was debited twice. and this is what they had to say:
"You can request the seller to charge the payment as a one-off charge and not to make an authorisation. When you authorize a payment to a merchant, you agree to make a purchase for a specified amount. Your account will show a "Pending" authorization until the merchant captures the payment. Once a merchant processes the order. they capture the payment and charge your account. The payment will show as 'Complete" and the merchant will ship the item.
