Any International credit cards or payment options

[screamingmimi]

My payment was turned down by my bank cuz they thought it was a fraudulent charge,  even though I told them it was coming.  A real pain.  Are there any preloaded cards that can be used to avoid this?   I know one is NetSpend but that has monthly fees and I don't think I'm going to be ordering that often.  What are good options (not Bitcoin) to use to pay international vendors and not have to deal with banks stopping them.

Moved to payment section, you'll get more of a response here @screamingmimi, or even suggestions if you look around perhaps.

Oh thanks. didn't even know that was a forum. Only going on 3 hours sleep so not all cylinders firing.   I'm most interested in a prepaid debit/credit card.  I don't mind paying international transaction fees, I just don't want the charge to be flagged as fraudulent.

Gocompare.com has a load of different cards. Take your pick.

I've used a NetSpend card before and I don't believe there are monthly fees unless you plan on using it on a regular basis like an actual debit/credit card. Or using other services the card offers besides the basics. Just go to the store and load money on it when you want to use it. I'll double check the leaflet/instructions that came with it...if I can find it. But pretty sure you can avoid monthly fees.

Thanks for the info.  I ended up setting up my credit card like I was on vacation in the country that was billing me and that worked.  The int'l transaction fees weren't that bad.

I also found this place but haven't had a chance to really read and figure out if this would work

There is no fee like you say but there is an int'l transaction fee.  Oh maybe this is just for signature or PIN and not just once in a while stuff.

3.5% of the U.S. Dollar amount of the purchase transaction, charged in addition to the Signature Purchase Transaction Fee or PIN Purchase Transaction Fee.

Stay away from Payza they rip you coming and going. Had a transaction completed and they would not let the merchant pickup the money. I could not get through to someone to help, sent numerous emails and IM chats that did not yield anything. So, I reversed the charges and all is good.

It should do, if there is any ambiguity of where the card is being "spent" a phonecall can normally sort that out.

Paypal card sounds interesting.  I'll read up on it.
