    This is something payment providers and banks should be offering. Otherwise you’re hoping each of N sellers will spend engineering money to individually implement a feature that realistically reduces their potential profit, on the vague promise that it’s some kind of beneficial feature that will bring them profit, which is never going to work like you hope.

      Blocking the payment doesn't solve the problem, you may avoid your bank account being instantly emptied but you're still on the hook for the money.
