It's all a little unclear..
But they don't actually take money until it's despatched, do they? The checkout process is you making an offer to pay and I don't think there's a contract until they take your money.

and then the contract gives obligations and rights to you as well rights and obligations to the business
if you were charged £4000 for a dvd boxset that you thought was actually £40.00 the business could not say 'you paid, therefore you accepted, we're keepin ya money'
and so you can't get away with gettin somethin mega cheap because of a shop's accident

Well, no, of course not
You could return the untouched goods within 14 days for a full refund.

Yeah, that's what was running through my head
They're not actually allowed to take the money until they ship the goods, under UK credit control guidelines. Bit of a "get out of jail free" card compared to a cash transaction, eh.
