Has anyone had this problem before? I used my debit card drawn off of First Community Bank and it was declined. I tried again. I even tried using the Paypal option and Visa checkout option. I have never used Kobo before but came across a coupon code that made a book I wanted to purchase about $10 cheaper than Amazon. I now cannot use my debit card to even make a balance inquiry at the ATM. I have been worried sick about this. My card worked fine last night around 7pm when shopping and I came home and tried to purchase this book around 10pm and now nothing. I am hoping someone else has had this problem and not just me. This is my only bank account. It is a weekend of course (doesn't all important things happen on weekends or holidays?) so I can't call them or visit but I do plan to be there tomorrow morning first thing to find out what has happened.
