Hyperventilate✭✭✭It depends on your bank and method of payment. If you paid via credit card, your bank in a *legal* sense has up until 30 days to remove the auth. charge.
You can always call your bank and see if they can expedite the removal or see if they have more information for you. -
I called yesterday, she said that it looks like they took the money but it's still pending because they didn't complete it (So they are taking it and then putting it back what?) The bank said I should call them today and dispute it if it's still not back. Though I am busy today so I will do it when I am free (giving ZoE more of a chance)

Booie✭✭Mine is still pending o.O"We will make sure that no matter where you live, every player in North America, Europe, Oceania, and many places beyond will have a polished, lag-free launch experience," -Matt Firor
"The Elder Scrolls Online is all about having a premium experience; from gameplay to customer service. So yes, we planned on having premium customer support from the beginning of the project, and put a lot of emphasis on best-in-class service." -Matt Firor -
Saerydoth✭✭✭✭Yes, but it's expected. I did the transaction on Friday afternoon. It takes 3 business days (not 3 days) for the transaction to either settle or drop off. Today is the 2nd business day. I expect it to drop off at the end of business tomorrow. This is a bank thing. I used to work in IT for a bank so I'm pretty familiar with how it all works. -
nvm... It went back to pending?Edited by RipVanWinkleX on April 8, 2014 9:26PM

SuperScrubby✭✭✭Mine were US, but I used a credit card with a company that I've been a member of for the last 4 years. So they've seen a lot of MMO charges over that time.

Saerydoth✭✭✭✭I shouldnt even have anything held though, i never even made a transaction. I got to the credit card page, put in my info and got kicked back to the billing address page cause it didnt match
Yes, but that will still cause an authorization hold on the account. Completely normal.
Read about how the process works to understand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_hold -
epoling✭✭✭✭Banks will always try to blame in on the merchant. The manager at my bank explained it to me when she explained why I need overdraft protection. Banks make money off overdraft fees. Banks like making money. Banks are not there to help you, they are there to make money. Therefore, if they can do anything to keep a preauthorization open they will because it can lead to more profit from them. From the number of people who have reported the pre-auths dropping within a few hours, it appears Bethesda is doing their part. It is up to your bank to be fair and honest from that point on. -

You're lucky to have found an honest bank manager that was upfront with you. I learned about how it worked by working in IT for a major bank. But yes...ANYTHING a bank CAN legally do, to keep your money on hold and "unavailable" to you, they will. They will obey the letter of the law. If the law says they are allowed to hold your funds for 72 hours, they will hold it for 72 hours, not one second less. And when they say 72 hours, they don't really mean 72 hours. They mean 72 business hours, or 3 business days. Saturday and Sunday don't count in their world.
Credit cards (as opposed to debit cards) authorization holds are allowed by law to stay on there for 30 days.Edited by Saerydoth on April 8, 2014 9:33PM
