Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes me, but that's unrelated. Different biz.

A minute ago it was "Not me, no." Does HN keep comment history?

Not officially, but: you're right, the original response was "Not me, no."

Does anybody round-robin among payment processors?

Given the number of these types of situations I see popping up on HN, I would consider doing something like this if it was my business. But I don't know how hard it would be, or other downsides. Maybe it wouldn't work. Thoughts?

What were your anti-fraud measures, and were their any reports of it from users or stripe? It's extremely common in this universe for people to enter card details that they are not authorized to use into web forms.

This was my thought too - possibly your success is just a new way for credit card fraudsters to check numbers or cash out.

Sad that stripe can cancel your business over it, but I also don't blame them.

If someone writes this much about an issue where they don't describe the product they are selling it is generally enough to know why they were cut-off.

I don't get it, why are Americans so brain-dead with paying with their credit card online directly?

Here in small country in EU, Czechia, we have several payment processing companies, which process debit cards payments online.(nobody use credit cards here, spending money you don't have, no thank you, rofl)

These are companies based in our country, you can call them, you have a written contract with them, so if something go sideways on their part, you have options to bring them to court or something.

And there're several of these companies, like 3 or more. All with proper audits and everything.

Nobody use paypal or stripe or some similar BS here, also we can send money directly from personal bank account to company bank-account, with no fee, so this is just another option. Or even all banks integrate with eshop in a way, you can make a direct payment through bank API with callback, so order is instantly payed. Also no fee, of course.

I can't comprehend, why is American online market so backwards.
