It's the 5.9% currency exchange fee that really bothers me the most. Nearly six percent? That's ridiculous! I live in Canada. ClickAndBuy takes it upon itself to bill my charge card in Canadian dollars, and charges me nearly 6% to do so. If they would bill the U.S. dollar amount directly to my credit card, like S-E used to, my card's issuing bank would only charge 2.5%. I'm now paying extra money for no added value to me.

I have a bank that uses Verified with Visa. I never had any problem using this card with S-E. Now I'm forced to use this unsavory middleman that arbitrarily skims extra money on every transaction, for currency conversions that they shouldn't even have to broker themselves. Why should I eat this added expense for S-E's convenience?

Please, S-E, give us a better option.
