Bidz.com My account is not accepted anymore Internet
I'm German and entered biz a couple of weeks ago.
Was not prepared only US Credit Cards is allowed.
Won 2 auctions and payed with the credit card from my daughter.
Now I have my own Gold Visa Card.Won a third auction: amount $ 381,-- payed with my own Visa Card, Adress, etc., Payment was accepted.
Now I was told by bidz my account is closed down.
Cant reach bidz anymore, my e-mails return.
The seller told me:
I should send by fax: Copy of Driver Licence, Copy of Social papers, etc.
There is no need for all that rubbish.All they have to do: Get the money from my account.
As I do pay in advance before delivery dont see the reason why my account is closed down. So I wonder.
Does the seller just dont wont to sell?

Dear Customer, We would like to begin by apologizing for any inconvenience this may have caused. We have reviewed the account in question and have found that you are not within the United States. Please be informed that our payment system is based on address verification theory which serves as a protection measure from fraudulent and unauthorized usage of credit cards or PayPal accounts. It verifies the billing address the customer enters with the one registered with the card issuing bank. In case the system flags out or declines a transaction due to the fact the information does not match the credit card issuer files on a certain level we should verify the billing information in order to establish you as the credit card holder. This system is only able to verify information within the Canada and the US. Since you are an international customer the system is unable to verify the information.
