May also depend on the clearing network and card type with regards to how long an authorization is held.

I work with Verisign & PayFlowPro and, according to their docs, when you do this kind of "authorize" it DOES place a hold on the funds. Then, depending on whether you VOID or CREDIT the authorization, it could be 1-3 days or MORE before the hold is taken back off the funds again. Just an FYI. Different Gateway providers have different rules, I think. Read carefully. J Matthew Small wrote: >You should be able to "authorize" the charge.
