They're authorisation holds, not charges so they don't breach any terms and conditions.

I don't think they are as they have appeared on my account's as a transaction (credit and debit with 2 separate company's) , i thought a hold reduced your available balance but not appear on your statement ?

The immediate charge is an authorisation hold, something that they didn't used to do. After a few days it may well convert to an actual charge.

These are definitely not ringfenced transactions, I specifically asked my card provider.
Basically, Amazon get to keep the money for an indefinite period prior to actual dispatch.

Well there is nothing wrong with that.

As company is entitled to debit your account once a order is placed.

There is something wrong with it when their stated terms say that they don't.
