"PayPal charged me right away. Why is that?"
Past years we had many cancellations of pre orders and rare items. Many customers did want the items but they couldn't order it because reserved by other customers (that eventually cancelled). We believe that if the customer is genuinely interested in our items the payment should be done in advance. In our new version of the website we added a paylater option that allow the customer to postpone the payment until the release of the product.
