But that is exactly the problem .... where is "Somewhere in Between?"

It is not morally correct for a customer to be parted from his/her money for seven or more days just because the retailer has made an error. Non-availability of the funds may well preclude the customer from being able to buy the item elsewhere, through no fault of their own.

"Somewhere in between" is not a location - the money must be accountable on someone's books for that period, and they will have the benefit of the credit that it gives them - not the person to whom the money really belongs.

Have you asked your bank?

Also, there are lots of knowledgeable people on the Bank Accounts Board.
Maybe ask your question there.

I fear repeating the question here will not get your answer.
