Your card is charged when you place your order, according to each marketplace's payment policies.
Amazon: Your card is charged when your order ships, not when you place it.
eBay: Payment is typically processed immediately when you complete checkout.
AbeBooks: Your card is charged when you place the order.
Alibris: Your card is charged when you complete your purchase.
Refunds: If you receive a refund, it goes back to your original payment method within 3-5 business days after we process it. See our "When will I receive my refund?" article for details.
Authorization holds: Some marketplaces place a temporary authorization hold on your card when you order, then charge the actual amount when the item ships. This may show as two charges temporarily but resolves within a few days.
Questions about charges: Check your marketplace account for charge details. For refund questions, contact us at books@dreambooksco.com.
