When you buy a K3 in this (remote) country, you have to pay an extra 50 dollars import tax, but they tell you will almost certainly get a partial refund after the shipper has finished all the paperwork. I've already received that refund through money being credited directly back to my account. Admittedly, it took a few weeks - as is always the case in this red-tape ridden country. Indeed, I had a card refund once before (with a different retail site), when I noted that they had billed me for one item too many.

So SOME virtual payment cards CAN be refunded. (Visa ones, perhaps.) I can also query/stop the payments on this account, within 3 days of the financial transaction first proceeding.

If refunds are NOT possible, Amazon might just leave the amount on your account for partial payment of future purchases.
