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

220 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?

At one point in time (~2009, I hope this has been corrected for) monthly recurring charges could be added to your monthly telephone bill if you were a US customer and someone submitted you phone number in an online form.
