Well... even tough they wouldn't be able to charge the money to your card, you would still owe them.


Yep.

Even if Amazon would claim the money you owe in realtime, they probably wouldn't shut you down if your prepaid hits zero.

I use a prepaid for my Kindle purchases and Amazon processes the order even if the payment gets rejected, following up with increasingly insistent reminder emails.


Yeah, that's what I thought. I wonder why Amazon doesn't support some form of prepaid service. I feel that it's really a deal-braker for me for buying s3, these kind of horror stories scare me away.
