How does current account work in the US? Can anyone just charge you?

218 views

I’ve seen a thread on xbox about a guy who got charged tax by an online store a couple of weeks after the sale. How does that work? In Europe your account doesn’t simply get charged unless you give explicit permission for a company to do so, for example utilities or phone bill. Can anyone charge anyone’s account? How do you deal with that?

Same way it works here in the EU. If you purchase something with your debit card then that was the permission. Curious whyxbox didn’t put a large enough hold on the account to account for the tax though.
