Laptop pricing - wondering where I stand

I ordered a very cheap laptop through an online retailer yesterday (on credit), the order went through at the price I bought it for and it says the order is 'accepted'. The money has been taken from my account.
Usually, the order would now begin to be processed and further information about this would appear. Nothing had changed which is unusual for this company.
So, I went to have a look at the original item page and discovered the laptop has been upped in price by £200 more than I paid for it. I am guessing it might have been a pricing error and it has left me wondering do I have any feet to stand on if they decide to not sell it to me for the original listed price?

It depends on the t&c's - usually online retailers state that the contract is only formed upon dispatch of the goods.0

Yeah, Thanks. Not sure where I stand still as the money is taken, the price was wrong, the order is accepted. I guess in the end it will be up to the retailer. I'm going to hope for the best.0
