Thanks for sharing this info. FWIW I did purchase from ADC using a prepaid Visa Card just last week. Seems to have worked as it has already been shipped. I was worried about using a prepaid Visa Card because I am in Canada and I kept reading that it wouldn't work for an international order.
Not too sure why it works for some and not others. Maybe next time ShopSheild may be a good option.
Thanks again for the info!

Hey, that's great to hear. Perhaps in Canada there are prepaid visa debit cards that don't have restrictions like they do here. In the U.S. all prepaid visa debit cards seem to say "only valid for purchases with U.S. Merchants." This goes for online merchants and in person. GreenDot I know is a re-loadable debit, that may or may not work at international online merchants. After all my googling on GreenDot it seems it does work at international ones, but only after someone registers (gives ss #, address, etc.) the card first. And then it seems to be a 50/50 shot that it'll work with an international merchant.

For now, I'm going to try the ShopShield route. They're a .net domain, not a .com, by the way. I tried to go to the .com one, only to see it was not the right site...
