You should be able to "authorize" the charge. This is typically done at gas stations - they authorize up to $75, then cancel the transaction. It should never show up unless you actually charge the amount or if you forget to remove the authorization. Matthew Small Web Developer American City Business Journals 704-973-1045 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In the past we had to set a refundable dollar to do this but I'm hoping that there is a new solution, maybe using paypal.
