Declined CC - Advice

[iteachurkid]

I submitted a show today and one of the orders ($25.50) had a declined credit card. The girl who ordered is from NY (I'm in VA) so I don't know her at all. Here's my dilema...with this show I'm at $1505 for the month... I have until Wednesday to get the situation straight, but if she doesn't get back in touch with me then I'll be like $20 below level one of the sell-a-thon. So my question is...do I submit a small order tonight just to be on the safe side?? What would you guys do? I don't really need anything, but at the same time, I don't want to lose free product over $20. Advice, help..I only have 5 hours :)

I would order something small....I would NOT cover her credit card expense since she is so far away!
HTH! Good Luck!

I'd buy myself a Collapsible Bowl to give to one of my team members as an incentive!

Well she called me back tonight and asked that I have them rerun her card. She said if it didn't work (she said she's had problems with it this week) that she'll give me another card tomorrow. I still think I might order something (Collapsible bowl is a GREAT idea) just in case she decides to cancel her order. Thanks for your help! You guys are the best!!
