click and buy worked fine

[RAIST]

Is there a charge for click/Buy when u first register?

they do a test charge. it is supposed to just be a pre-authorization and not actually process, but some have had it actually go through. Some have reported their bank charged them additional fees for various reasons due to the banks policies. Some have reported that the charge was in an alternate currency, causing them to pay a higher rate than they should have because of the exchange rate conversion. Other's have had C&B flat out rejected by their banks. Some can't even use C&B because C&B themselves don't provide service to their area (probly legal/regulatory issues), and don't find that out until the end of the registration process. Some are being told C&B is having trouble verifying the account and C&B requests them to contact them and are put on hold for extended times--when they do get through they are told to send them very sensitive documents like scanned passport or other photo ID, utility bills, even an actual BANKING STATMENT over unsecure medium like normal email.

All this has added up to a general distrust of them at this point.

And to add more insult, some of these have also discovered that SE doesn't extend Crysta to them because of legal issues that SE doesn't want to get mixed up with if they offer it. So, even if those users were to purchase cards for the points through playspan(or use a paypal account, etc)--they STILL can't pay via crysta either.

Thanks appreciate it.
