Graagh! How did I miss that? Don't mind me, I'm obviously just blind :-
(
It does seem odd that I can buy flights for several hundreds of euros
with my debit card, yet I'm unable to buy a $25 pdf file just because
it comes from a different continent. I've had a similar experience
with amazon - .ie, .co.uk and .de are all happy to take Maestro,
but .com just refuses. Maybe it's just my weird bank?
I know these are all large corporations and can *theoretically* be
trusted to keep my personal data safe, which may be more difficult for
something like paypal to prove about the vendors that use it.
Hey, I could always buy a flight to Amsterdam on the card and meet you
there to hand over the dollars in hard cash- when are you going
again? ;-)
All the best,
Chris
