Well the actual order was about $300, plus the $120. But don't some purchases put a temporary hold on the account until the money clears? Cause if that's not the issue, then I don't know what the hell is going on with my debit card.

I did that a couple years ago on New Year's in Iowa City. Just walked off without a pair of Flak Jackets and drove back to Corydon. But that's the only time I've ever lost a pair of sunglasses, and I've been wearing Oakleys for nearly 10 years.
He's talking about charges showing up as pending which will happen basically every time you use your debit card until it actually posts to the account.
I was gonna make some comment about spending $120 on sunglasses when $240 put a hold on your debit card, but **** it. I had $.78 in my bank account for 3 weeks when I was in college. I ain't judging.
My friend's toddler snapped his $130 pair of Ray Bans. He bought cheap sunglasses for the next few years. When she was 5 he bought a pair of Oakleys. A year later, his son was born. 6 months later, his son snapped his Oakleys in half.
Kids be evil
I've got a pair of $30 Igogs i bought for a fishing trip 3 years ago that are still going strong. They've been tossed around tractor/combine cabs, my truck, kids messing with them, etc. Plus they are comfortable as can be on my giant gourd. For the cost Oakley's better give me Xray vision or something because my cheap glasses give me all the benefits that Oakley wearers talk about. And before anyone asks yes I have tried on Oakleys, didn't see what was worth the extra cost.
The only expensive glasses I ever contemplated buying were a pair of Costa Del Mar's. Still didn't see how the extra cost was worth it.

Yea, but that's not really a hold is it? Pending charges come out of my available balance at my bank. So I always know where I'm at.
We've had that happen to us a couple of times. My wife will order canvas prints, etc from random places and it will flag it. I'm actually glad they do it as it shows they can help catch fraudulent purchases as they happen.
It's definitely not a bad thing, IMO. I just need to update my account info so that the phone call comes to me instead of back home. This would have been a very quick fix if I'd done that already, but not knowing my card was on hold until I was trying to buy something else was annoying.
To be fair, a $300+ purchase is definitely unusual for me (although it won't be once I start renting camera equipment for state tournaments).
I bought a pair like these for vacation last year as my souvenir rather than buying a bunch of crap I won't use. They're nice and comfy.
