Problem paying at B&N (using VPN)
Today I bought some e-books at B&N. To my surprise the orders were cancelled because payment could not be authorized.
I am using an USunlocked card (an US Visa card with US billing address) and alwaysVPN. This has always worked fine.
I also tried my Dutch Mastercard (using an US billing address). And I tried Hotspot shield as a VPN. In both cases payment was not possible.

I can still download books from my B&N library, so in that case both cards are valid, but it seems I am not allowed to use them for payments.

Has anyone else outside the US problems paying at B&N? Or is it just a problem with my account?
Perhaps B&N is detecting the VPN?
