I checked my my bank account online, but I don&#039;t see any pending authorization for the purchase amount. In summary, I&#039;m hoping that &#039;order request in progress&#039; means that I have passed the funds available/authorization stage, but I&#039;m not sure how it can be. Does any one know if a merchant (like the mint) can check your credit/check card for sufficient funds without actually running an authorization through? Thanks. I take this &#039;order request in progress&#039; as an encouraging step. Like everyone, I will feel so much better when I see a tracking number and a charge for the purchase against my account. Then, I&#039;ll know at last that it&#039;s real<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
