Ok, it's been nearly two hours and still no email or refund of the pound.
I looked it up and, apparantly, Shopto is a terrible site. A lot of people have had bank details stolen, been charged twice, one guy had vouchers revoked days after he used them and they had been accepted, one guy even got the Arabic version of a game.
According to one guy, Shopto has people on various forums to try and talk down these problems, to make them seem like a "legit" site. Sounds dodgey as hell.
I've changed my bank password just to be safe (I had to input them when I "signed up") though I want to do more to be safe and looks like I'll have to ask someone to forward £1 into my bank just to keep the bank off my back about being a whole 7p overdrawn.
Anyone else thinking of using Shopto because of the £200 3DS, don't.
Edit: Just found the "Email for help" function. I typed a message and it wont send it because it's "too short". How is this short?:

Hello, I recently tried to register to your site but have had problems.
Firstly, I signed up and gave my bank details and I never got a confirmation email and when I try to log in anyway the site claims it doesn't recognize my log in details.
Another problem is that the £1 taken from my bank to verify my bank details has not been returned even though the site said it would be returned instantly. I have been waiting for four hours as of this email and it still hasn't been returned. I would appreciate it if I could be given that back. Thank you.

I've tried it as both one big paragraph and as two paragraphs. This site really is one big shitty joke.
Edit #2: Finally got it to send the email. Now to wait for either a really unhelpful reply, an automated reply or no reply at all.
