When do Google charge for devices from the Play Store?

[nathanhd123]

Does anybody know if Google charge immediately or when the device is dispatched when you order from the play store?

 

I'm asking this because I have a cheque that I need to cash in to my account but banks being banks, aren't open on weekends. I want to get my order in as soon as possible for the Nexus 5 as the waiting times are going up.

I would wait, because banks

 

 

that's reason enough

They take your money when the device ships, however, the bank will hold your money as soon as you place the order. Google contacts (sort of) them to make sure you actually have the money, and they hold it until your device ships, when they give it to Google. So, they aren't technically taking your money until it ships, but you will need to have the money in your account when you make the purchase.
