    I spent ages last night looking into BAC and it is a payment you can recall.

    I have my suspicions that they may do this as:

    They were going to send a postal order, but then informed me on Tues that it would cost them £10 to do so and couldn't afford anymore cost for the wedding dress.

    Now at this time no mention of the wedding being in 6 days time and if they had sent a postal order, no way could the buyer guarntee me receiving it in time to then post in time.

    No bride would be 6 days before her wedding without a dress organised surely.

    It wasn't until yesterday when they did pay and it showed as BAC that they then said they were getting married on Monday, so if I had posted today (which turns out I cannot as my P.O is now closed and I've only just got in from work) you'd be running the risk of it not arriving in time anyway.

    I wish more people would use bank transfer, no nasty paypal fees, clears straight away and no chargeback either

    Well I posted the item special delivery for it to arrive Monday when they need it. Yesterday when I got home more details had appeared next to the transaction, like persons name, date and time they autorised the payment.

    I would of posted it yesterday but I was in from work just as the P.O closed.

    Time will tell if anything happens re complaining or wanting money back etc.

    I hope I am completely wrong and its just been me panicing about accepting this kind of payment.

    Thanks for all the replies though :T
