The "no longer authorized" line may simply mean that they were recategorized as something else. Here's the info from that link.

I'm more interested in what happened that caused the regulators to remove their authorisation for an instrument from their portfolio. The time frame is right in the middle of when they were having alot of the problems with WoW and iTunes at the first of the year.

Something was going on. If it's on record somewhere in financial circles, that may very well be why banks are so skeptical of charges from them--not because of the drummed up hysteria in the general public, but more because there was a documented problem with Clickandbuy itself.

My Issue, is ClicknBuy is not located in the United States, my Bank refuses to send money to companies located outside the US because it causes with issues with trying to get money back in events of Fraud.

Therefore, my only option is Crysta and like everyone said, Crysta is a horrible idea, its like Microsoft points, no matter how much you try, the balance never gets down to 0$ and the consumer gets ripped off in the process, horrible idea.

there is no reason that SE couldn't set up a reoccurring payment with paypal, IMVU does it with their VIP service, so it is a viable option if SE wants to use it.

I agree.totally agree.We(in Japan) have "web money" option,but paypal is much better.

crysta in itself isn't a horrible idea, the set amounts for it are the horrible idea, I myself pay $14.95 per month so 1500 crysta loses me a whole 5 cents, that doesn't bother me, but I do agree, we should be able to pay in exact amounts, for instance 1295 crysta and 100 crysta would be a much better idea and it would make people much happier

also there is absolutely no good reason not to add paypal for direct payments, so why not tell us the reason you are not using it SE
