Hello @Prxed,

 

Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community Forum!

 

I understand your concern regarding the payment. It seems like payment is processed as authorization. Authorization is an agreement between you and a merchant to purchase an item for a specific amount of money. A merchant can capture your payment at a later date if your item needs to be assembled or isn’t available. Some merchants will accept partial payments until you’ve paid the full amount. If the merchant you sent money to, doesn't claim the money within 30 days, the full amount will be returned to the original payment method. You’ll need to contact the merchant to cancel an authorization. If you have been charged, then you can wait till the payment gets completed and then we encourage you to report it to our Resolution Center as soon as possible.

 

I hope this helps,
Ayesha

Did you bother to actually read the above advice?

You can't open any disputes until the payment has COMPLETED.

If it doesn't complete it will time out 30 days post adding it.
