Yes, it is the norm for manually entered or swiped transactions, which is what most mom & pops would do. But systems which accept orders for physical shipped goods should not capture immediately when the user enters their card info, and to my knowldge none do. That would be really bad for a lot of other reasons. I totally missed the bit about paypal, and thought that he had placed a credit card order. > In any case, it's not applicable to this situation.

I agree and I take back what I said. Most likely they are in fact just away from the computer. Still, bad form to tell people where to send their money when you're not there to receive it. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34517 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
