It happens for me all the time, as I'm on the other side of the pond.
I made a purchase today for less than $100, and had it refused by my
credit card company until I phoned them up and verified it.  Last
month the same thing happened when I made a $6 (!) purchase of an
ebook via credit card.  Both times because I was buying from a site in
the US.

I guess there is an awful lot of credit card fraud going on.  It's
inconvenient, and even laughable in the case of a $6 purchase.

If you've ever set up a payment system using paypal or google checkout
or many of the others, you'll know that electronic payments is a whole
world of pain.  Unbelievable, but there it is.

Hopefully your email will be seen by someone at RunRev soon.
