But when you buy a car and it is delivered several months later you do not pay in full for it until you collect the car.
That's true, but I'd still have paid something for it and made an order, which is the original scenario I was responding to. (Except the original scenario was even more flawed, since you don't usually pay for something online when you order it, you generally pay for it when the order is dispatched).
