An early withdrawal means you receive your funds before the event takes place, rather than waiting until after the event has happened. To be eligible for an early withdrawal, you must have a valid card on file.
Because the event hasn't happened yet, there is still a chance it could be cancelled. If an event is cancelled, the buyer is entitled to a refund. Since you've already been paid early, we use the card you have on file to recover those funds so we can return the money to the buyer.
In short, the card on file acts as a safeguard. It is only used in the event of a cancellation.
Your card on file will only be charged if the event you sold tickets for is cancelled. If the event goes ahead as planned, your card will never be charged and your early withdrawal is yours to keep.
Without a card on file, you won't be eligible for early withdrawals. You'll instead receive your funds after the event has taken place.
