I've had them do a one dollar charge to test it, but never a $75 charge. That sounds fishy to me

I don't consider seventy-five bucks a small amount and, according to paypal, had I not called in to find out the deal, I would have been out my seventy-five bucks for thirty days (remember, the REAL charge had gone through and was completed - the seventy-five was listed as "pending" even though the sale was completed - sorry, but that's illegal and wrong).

i read that as 75 cents. i'm tired and sore after sherlock's class.

either someone punched a wrong button or this station has a history of doing this & should be reported.

If you don't like politics or they offend you....skip this.....

I can not believe that Obama is complaining about Clinton planting someone to ask her a question. While it is about like FEMA having a press conference and the only "press" there are employees of FEMA....Obama bussed in lots of out of staters for the Jefferson/Jackson Day dinner and then claimed he had the most vocal support from Iowans. Oh Puhleese

I couldn't agree more (and Lordy knows I'm no Clinton fan!). Planting questions is basic PR - everybody does (or ought to) do it. Now, having the questioner misrepresent themselves is another matter.

Bruce since this is your usual station i suggest calling & speaking to the owner or manager. you might be doing them a favor letting them know what happened. i'd also question the long pending period.

The Republican ads, especially Mitt Romney, are slamming Hillary. Too funny. I really don't think she'll win Iowa

She can afford to lose Iowa as long as she wins NH and SC.

Rudy's campaign feel they need not win anything before Florida.

My son the future attorney department: Cilla, you may get a kick out of this. We were cleaning up in the kitchen and I found a little story by Zach about a big dinosaur that gets run over by a Mac truck. It was entitled "The Story of Barne." When I told Zach that's not how you spell Barney, he replied, without missing a beat, "I did it that way to avoid copyright issues."

ane, I think I will be talking to them - although the station itself wouldn't be the one setting the charge. But, as per paypal lady, no one pushed a wrong button - she sees it happening more and more with gas stations - it's not making paypal happy, and perhaps they'll step in and do something about it.

The problem is momentum. With the primaries and caucuses all moving up more and more it's going to be harder to rebound from a loss than it used to be. At least that's one school of thought

Jane · « **Reply #296 on:** November 12, 2007, 06:27:14 PM »

I found this:

"Some merchants authorize for more than the amount of your purchase. In certain industries, such as gasoline, restaurant, hotel, etc., the business standard may be to over authorize by $10 or $50, or by some other pre-designated amount, in order to ensure that the necessary funds to cover your purchase are available. After you've made your purchase, the merchant will confirm the actual amount within a few business days of the transaction. Upon receipt of the confirmation, your available funds will be adjusted to reflect the appropriate available funds.

For example: A gas station may over authorize your Card for $50 (usually only at pay-at-the-pump stations) even if you only pump $10 worth of gasoline. This will reduce your available funds by $50 for a short period of time. Within a few business days, the merchant will send the confirmation of your purchase for only $10. Upon receipt of that confirmation, your available funds would increase by the $40 that was being held by the $50 over authorization.

It is recommended that when using your prepaid Card for gasoline that you pay inside the station rather than use the pay-at-the-pump in order to avoid this type of over-authorization."
