Why are payment forms so complicated?
IP based "fraud" detection is fucking annoying.<p>I live in the UK and want to have stuff shipped to family in the US. I've had vendors of all sizes turn away my business because either they didn't like my IP or wouldn't let international addresses order at all.<p>Amazon(.com) has literally earned themselves thousands in additional sales because they happily accepted my UK payment to a US address without fuss or hassle.<p>You might say this is a niche situation but money is money, and I've had lot's of small vendors lose out because they were "US only!"<p>I now also have a "flower guy" because they're the only one in the city who will do international flower orders...<p>PS - Specific example, NewEgg, wanted to buy a several hundred dollar laptop - couldn't. Used Amazon instead.
