Repost with subject heading changed -- I'll have to implement something
today whether I get advice or not -- I'll do option 4) unless I get better
advice.  I have asked VeriSign customer service the same question and if
anyone else is interested will pass on their advice.
---------------------------
Here's the original question:
I'm doing my first DEEP foray into Verisign and credit card processing -
maintaining an existing system. Already working well with cfx_payflowpro
(VERY easy to use, btw).

I'm adding AVS (Address Verification) and want to know how others are
handling it.

To use AVS, you must either:

1) request authorization (A), and then, if it's good, Capture (D) the
charge, if it's not good, Void(V) the charge.  But VSign doesn't let you
void an Authorization  so you have to Capture it anyway before voiding.

2) Same as #1, but Credit (C) instead of Void (V).  Apparently, this
releases the funds within 48 hours where a Void may take up to 30 days to
release the funds.  But a Credit (C) shows up on the customer's credit card
statement.

3) Request Sale (S), then if it's good, do nothing.  If it's not good,
request Void (V).  ?? Would this Void show up on customer's statement?

4) Same as #3, but Credit (C) instead of Void (V). With a Credit (C) shows
up on the customer's credit card statement.

PLEASE let me know what YOU are doing in similar situations!

Thanks
Jann
