I was a bit unclear in my previous posting.
We are talking here about two different checks.
1. For some books you get a extra credit card check instead of a download link at your bookshelf, after paying for the book.
2. My original posting was about a new check I noticed. When I tried to pay with my Dutch credit card using an USA address (which always worked okay), my payment was not accepted. The country I used when paying with my credit card (USA) was compared with the country of my IP address (The Netherlands), and because these were different my payment was not accepted.
I had to use a VPN service (alwaysvpn) to get my payment accepted (the VPN service lets me login to Fictionwise with an USA IP address).
Using
www.hidemyass.com would probably also have worked, but I did not want so send my credit card details using a free site like that (this is just how I feel, I have found no negative information about
www.hidemyass.com).
