I received a message that my transaction was declined? What should I do?

If you transaction was declined, you will need to contact your credit card institution directly to see why it was declined. The fees will remain on your account. It is possible that the failed transaction will leave a pending charge on your card. These pre-authorized charges normally clear withing 24 hours. If the failed charge remains beyond that time, contact your credit card issuer.
