Card keeps rejecting outside USA purchase
So I won a couple auctions and been trying to pay for an specific order since that order is coming from Canada, I live in the USA. All my other auctions won it let me pay the amount but this transaction that's coming from Canada tried 2 of my banks and they both keep getting rejected

·1 year agoYour US bank may be trying to protect you from what they may consider to be fraud. Unless you frequently purchase items outside the US, they are probably denying payment. Call them and give them the amounts of your purchases and their location.

·1 year agoTry using paypal instead. Also with paypal you can choose your bank to calculate the exchange rate instead of ebay. Ebay's rate will cost you more. I personally never pay directly through ebay for int'l transactions for that reason.

·1 year agoI buy from UK now & then and every time I try to pay with my debit card it is rejected until I get a message from my bank where I can OK the transaction. Caused by different currency Pounds vs Dollars, I think.
Have you gotten any notices from your bank you may have overlooked?
