How long is Origin supposed to take to charge you for buying a game?

★ Novice

I bought a game through Origin on the 14th, I still don't think I've been charged for it, but thought I was charged the same day I bought it. Idk, how long should it take before the charge shows up? I don't want to overdraft my account or anything thinking I have more money in the bank than I do.

Hey, was the game Pre-Order? Origin doesn't charge the money until game is released.

you can play the game but sdont see the charge?

did you use paypal or a credit card and has this happend before with other purchases?

 

And to stop overdraft , just pretend the price for the game has been deducted from your account  and is no longer there, so if the game was 40 diollar pretend your bank accounts balance is 40 dollars  less then what the statement says .
