At the ISP I work for, we preauth (And validate) the credit card before we
send the request to OpenSRS. Once we send the request and it's confirmed,
we charge the preauth. We've had much less then 10% turn out to be
fraudulent or otherwise screwy. I don't have exact numbers, but other then
the .CA preregistration garbage, we hear from less then 10% of our domain
registrations. I'd guess that 1% are valid refund cases.
