Becuase as a 3rd party processor, we have no way to know if you have inventory to keep up with the orders, or, if you ship the orders. There are specific laws about "when" you can charge a credit card for shippable goods.

Did you ever order an advance copy of a DVD? The shipper does not charge you at the time you order, but instead, at the time of shipment.

This is why 3rd party accounts are not willing to accept orders for shippable product.
