My credit card company in the Netherlands would not allow me to register my card for PayPal transactions. When I queried it, they replied that at that time they did not consider transactions to that particular place (wherever their account is based) to be secure. Oddly, I was able to register the same card for transactions on Billpoint, the ebay payment system.
On an aside, I've just played through a ridiculous scenario with microcell solutions who have the Fido GSM network in Canada. I had a pay-as-you-talk arrangement but decided to upgrade to a monthly scheme so that I could take advantage of the roaming arrangement when I made a trip to the USA recently. I duly registered my credit card for the monthly billing, no problem. When I found out during my trip that in fact there was no roaming agreement where I was in the US I cancelled the monthly scheme and went back to pay-as-you-talk. I then had to re-register the credit card to top up the talk time. It was refused because the owner of the phone (me) wasn't the main credit card account holder. Ehhhh??? I switched to Telus.
