Why was my credit card billed 8 times?

Profile picture for rockcreekhouse
I posted my house for rent.  When trying to pay, there was a problem with the website that kept on telling me that the transaction could not be performed.  I kept on trying and now I found out that my card was charged about 8 times.  Thinking it did not go through, I used a different card and that was charged as well, just one time.

Hi rockcreekhouse -

I checked our system and it appears the charges did not go thru to due to failure of address verification.  

Sometimes what happens, is the bank thinks we are trying to charge you multiple times. These charges will appear as pending on your statement. Please look at your statement and see if you see "pending" next to the charge(s). When the bank realizes we didn't charge you, the pending payment(s) drop off.

This can occur for a number of reasons, but mostly its from hitting submit more than once.

The most common error, is putting in the wrong zip code. Also, we do not accept corporate cards, canadian cards, or P.O. Box  #'s.

Thank you.
