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.
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.0
