Click & Buy charges "international processing fee"!

[Alhanelem]

they put that amount charge into your click and buy account.

No, the charge gets refunded to your card. Not a "ping", a charge and then a refund.

No, it doesn't. This is what it says when you go to verify a card.

1. Your credit card will be charged two random amounts between 1.00 and 1.99 USD.
2. Call your bank or check your credit card statement for these amounts (may take up to 3 business days).
3. Enter these amounts on the credit card confirmation page (on the Settings tab in your ClickandBuy account) within 60 days to finish confirmation.
4. The two amounts are credited to your ClickandBuy account.

Actually, my account only had a $2 hold, and the hold was gone a short while later. There is no charge between $1.00 and $1.99 anywhere on the account history for the card I used.

So regardless of what the site says, that's wrong. Even though my card was successfully registered, it never had a dime charged to it.

Well if that is the case, I guess its more proof that CnB doesn't do what it says it will do, lol.

Early on, they weren't running the charges all the way through, but were just showing a pending transaction that later got canceled. Something changed in the last week or so and it seems they are going all the way through for most everyone posting about it now.

My bank did not charge me a fee, Clickandbuy did tho. While this is just one of my accounts, and an extra 37 cents isn't a big deal.. I have three accounts and its going to add up over time. /sigh can we just get a damn paypal option please.

So only EU players paying Click and Buy with Euros will not be charge with extra fees?

Q: Will FFXI/XIV users paying via C&B be subject to any additional administration or credit card usage charges?

A: As a FFXI/XIV subscription takes direct payments from a user's chosen payment method, it is not necessary to store funds in the ClickandBuy account. Therefore the charges outlined below will not be applicable to anybody simply using their C&B account to pay for their FINAL FANTASY XI or XIV subscription. Should a customer wish to use their ClickandBuy account for additional services, additional fees may be incurred. For more information on these, please refer to http://clickandbuy.com/GB_en/

Users may incur various charges when utilising a C&B account. These include but are not limited to the following:
- ClickandBuy charges a 'pre-loading' fee of 3.9% of any transaction into your ClickandBuy account when using a credit card.
- There is a handling fee charged for withdrawal of funds from a ClickandBuy account of £1.85/€1.85.
- If a ClickandBuy account has been inactive for 1 year and contains funds, a maintenance fee of £1.00/€1.00 may be charged.

Please note players paying for their FINAL FANTASY XI or XIV subscription in a currency other than EUR or GBP will be subject to a foreign exchange rate of 5.9% per transaction.

If so, they are afraid to make a Thread: [NA] Square Enix Account Transfer & Payment Procedures FAQ and need to tell people that they will be charge with extra fees cause SE love Click and Buy so much.

As a FFXI/XIV subscription takes direct payments from a user's chosen payment method, it is not necessary to store funds in the ClickandBuy account.

Is funny how Paying thru Click and Buy is called direct payments by them Is Click and Buy own by Square Enix now, company merged!? So do we call them Square-Enix-ClickandBuy and SEC&B for short to refer them from now on?

But at least to me, Square Enix always will have Click and Buy following their name from now on, Square-Enix-ClickandBuy; Final Fantasy-ClickandBuy; Final Fantasy Versus XIII-ClickandBuy; CronoTrigger-ClickandBuy; 株式会社スクウェア・エニックス・ホールディングス・クリックアンドバーイ; Yoichi Wada-ClickandBuy...

Hmm. I needed a sig, and this seems hilariously sig-worthy. At what point did this seem like a good idea? I sure hope Click and Buy treats their business clients a lot better than they treat the customers. They either treat their clients REALLY REALLY well (nudge nudge wink wink), or SE just doesn't really care about their customers very much at all.

It's not wrong. Maybe it didn't work that way for you, but it's definitely not wrong:

See? Bottom 2 small sums are the verification transactions that I was charged and then had to input each sum on their verification page. Total was credited my C&B account. I then paid NOK 106.50 to SE two days later, but was only charged NOK 103.79 since there was already a balance of NOK 2.71 in my favour on my C&B account.

Edit: those 2 sums are charged to your card once you verify your C&B account, not for simply just registering.

Think Alhanelem statement was directed at Kimble's post stating our posts about C&B just placing a pending charge on account was incorrect. Alhanelem was an early adopter of C&B, and thus went through the process prior to them changing their procedures. Originally, they were authorize and hold transactions, but later started shifting to full transactions as more people started reporting on it here.
