Even in America the "hold" or "pre-auth" or "earmarking" as we call it
over here has a fixed duration for both debit and credit cards. 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.
