Hi Brian, thanks very much for your order!

That was the payment service that I'm using calling you - they are a company called Plimus who I have signed up with to handle payment processing, they handle stuff like actually charging credit cards, etc, so I don't have to mess around with that part myself.

I think that for the first batch of orders they want to verify things to make sure you have authorized the charge on your card and stuff like stolen credit cards are not being used.
