but it still sounds like a bank issue not a TER issue. Banks are stepping up their efforts to combat fraud. I was just travelling and my bank called me on my cell phone a minute after I used my credit card to pay a restaurant bill in another state! But I never had the problem with ccbill. And I have paid for other things with ccbill besides TER (porn sites) but I also haven`t used it for a few years now. Maybe if I tried now, the bank would check would chack.

As for trustcash, could you not find a bank where you don`t know the tellers? Or just tell the tellers you are buying something on ebay. They don`t know where the money is going. It is just a way to make a cash payment.

Of course you could always just post reviews and problem reports for VIP.

They just see an account number.  I've never been questioned by a teller.  It's none of their business and they know it.  And I go to banks not near my home that I don't normally do business with.  I did it through the drive-thru last month.

I don't use credit cards anymore so I haven't had the denial experience.

TER has nothing to do with ccbill or segpay. Those are just payment processing sites and they handle payments for all kinds of stuff. A possibility is since they handle payments for so many adult sites, maybe the banks are flagging them now, to prevent kids from signing up to adult sites with their parents' cards.?

Now however, even though it is not a TER issue, it could still become a TER problem, because they may start to lose paying members like you, so I suggest like I said in my first reply, post on the S&P board. Maybe make a suggestion that they come up with some additional user friendly payment options.

...Visa has a problem. It's a bank issue. They are the ones stopping the charge and calling you not TER. My other cards work just fine when I pay for my VIP membership here.

I will back perfectstorm's advice too. TER needs to be made aware. Post this on the Policy & Suggestion board.
