I am totally lost now.
To buy books at Fictionwise you have to register your Fictionwise account with an US address, and you have to use that same address as billing address for your credit card.
You can use any valid address: Disneyland, Yankeestadium, just google something.
The billing address is not verified at your credit card company, so this will work fine.

If you get a credit card check on the Fictionwise bookshelf (happens only for a few books) use www.hidemyass.com or a VPN to download the books the first time. After downloading the books once, the check will be gone.
