When a transaction fails on the website because of an address mismatch we do not actually take your funds. What often happens is the card issuer will put a hold on those funds. You will have to contact your card issuer to have them release the funds back to you.
Also, when speaking to your card issuer you may want to validate the exact address on record. All addresses need to match exactly before a transaction can be processed. -
