Hello PZ community.

I don't know if you guys have faced this problem, but it seems that a lot of different web site companies in the US are no longer accepting Credit Cards issued outside US.

I can understand they no longer accept them for security reasons.., but if that's so, there should be a way the foreing buyers can get the goods they need.., yes.. there is PayPal, wich is really good, but not all companies do PayPal. The problem is that Credit Card companies advertise their "international" cards, but they no longer are usefull on internet so what was the buzz for?, they reply "we cannot influence on store's policies" . Imagine what kind of future the US. companies will face if no matter how dimanic or efficient they might be, they won't sell to a client because is foreing???...

Wester Union.. yea right!!.. Quick Collect only works in US... familiar isn't it??? and they receive only cash of course. Cashier's checks... ..ask any non US bank about comissions.. :S..

Imagine if CW would only accept German Credit Cards... they really would get broke.

If some of you has found a solution for this please let me know...:sad:

Thanks for hearing

Snoopy.
