Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement show a charge as “PAYPAL *AMain.com Inc.” instead of AMain Hobbies?

AMain.com, Inc. processes many orders through PayPal, so card statements often display PayPal’s prefix followed by the merchant name. When you check your PayPal account or email receipts from AMain Hobbies, you should see the same amount and date corresponding to that transaction.

What kinds of purchases typically result in a charge from AMain.com, Inc.?

Charges from AMain.com, Inc. usually come from online orders of RC vehicles, parts, electronics (motors, ESCs, servos), batteries and chargers, tools, tires, bodies, and other hobby‑related accessories. Larger orders may be split into multiple shipments and charges if items ship separately.

How can I find the order details for a charge from AMain.com, Inc.?

Log into your account at amainhobbies.com and go to the Orders or Order History section to view past orders, amounts, and payment methods. If you checked out as a guest, use the order‑lookup tool with your order number and email address, or search your email inbox for “AMain Hobbies” or “AMain.com” order confirmations from the date of the charge.

How do I request a refund or return an item I bought from AMain.com, Inc.?

Visit amainhobbies.com and navigate to their Returns or Support section to submit a return request or RMA. Follow the listed return policy regarding time limits and product condition. Once your return is approved and received, any refund will typically be issued back to your original payment method, including PayPal if that was used.

Can AMain.com, Inc. place authorization holds or temporary charges on my card or PayPal account?

Yes. Like many online retailers, AMain.com, Inc. or PayPal may place a temporary authorization hold to verify your payment method, especially on large orders. These holds can appear as pending charges and usually drop off automatically within a few business days if they are not captured as part of the final sale.

Does AMain.com, Inc. offer subscriptions or recurring charges?

AMain.com, Inc. primarily processes one‑time purchases for hobby products, and most customers will not see recurring or subscription charges. If you notice repeated charges you don’t recognize, review your order history and PayPal activity, and then contact AMain customer service to check for duplicate orders or other issues.

How can I contact AMain.com, Inc. about an unrecognized charge?

Go to amainhobbies.com and use the Contact or Support page to reach customer service via email, contact form, or phone. Provide the date, amount of the charge, and the descriptor shown on your statement (including any PayPal reference) so they can quickly locate the transaction and help you investigate.

Why is my AMain.com, Inc. charge split into multiple smaller amounts?

If your order contained items that shipped at different times or from different warehouses, AMain.com, Inc. may capture payment separately as each shipment is processed. This can result in multiple smaller charges that add up to your original order total. You can confirm this by checking the shipment and billing breakdown in your online order details.
