Could it be the different machines used? In the US they have card readers where you swipe the card as opposed to inserting.
The transactions might take a few days to appear on your online account, but the funds have been taken and you should see that your available balance is lower.
In cases where it takes up to a week for some transactions to appear could be because of the shop. Some places do their readings every day other every other day and then some every week. They have to do these 'x' and 'y' readings to fully complete the transaction going through. Untill they do those the transaction wont appear on your statement. It was a while ago that i was involved in doing this but i think the shop has up to a month before they lose the money...but i might be wrong on this.
