This is just me being curious, but is it possible to avoid the verification step through some sort of "not now" option? It's just that I managed to avoid it somehow and I don't know if it's avoidable for everyone or just something to do with Australia's financial regulations.

After all, ClickandBuy would be dealing with my bank via MASTERCARD rather than my bank directly (it's billing a credit card, not a bank transfer), so they shouldn't actually need to verify anything with my bank. The first billing then becomes the "verification" of sorts - if it doesn't bounce and they get the correct amount then they'll know it is fine. But as I said, this might just be Australia's GFC-resistingly oddness coming through.
