In no case can a "hold" extend beyond 30 days and for a debit card is usually for 24 hours e.g. when preauthing a card at a gas station (sic).
However, if you pre-order online a non-stock item or order an out-of-stock item item there is no "earmarking" or pre-auth. The card issuer cannot be asked for an indefinite hold. The authorisation will take place immediately prior to despatch. Global Distance Selling Legislation enforces this. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
