No. After placing an order, the credit card's issuing bank will place an authorization hold on the bank account for the entire amount of the purchase. You will be charged only when each item or group of items ship.

Authorization hold times can vary and are dependent on a number of factors: type of card (credit or debit), the card network (Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express), the bank or credit union issuing the card, the type of merchant involved, personal banking history and even the day of the week. Most transactions are settled or drop off within 5 business days.

Clicking the “Confirm Order” button more than once or using the browser’s back button during check out can cause duplicate authorizations. Each time an order is attempted, an authorization for the amount of the order is made. An authorization can appear even if the transaction was declined.
