Hey man, I believe you... I wouldn't sweat it too bad though, get a different kind of pre paid card and you should be alright. I hope it's not going to get harder to order seeds, that would put a real damper on things.

Neither Credit card companies or The Attitude give a flying shit about you or the laws you break. They want your money, if they can get it legally (through the law or any loophole that may exist.) If customs finds your seeds, you won't even be in trouble they'll just keep your order... I would assume that the Customs agents would throw legal trouble at you before a credit card company or seed bank would (especially since you're paying their bills.)) Why would you think a credit card company would get you into trouble if they didn't have to?

That's just like the geniuses who think that the electric company will turn them in if they use too much power, nope. The federal government requires them to report electric bills that are over 10,000 dollars only. Nobody here uses that much power, or anything close to it. If there's a 300% increase in your bill in 1 month time they will notify YOU just to make sure you knew about it/nobody is stealing your power. Other than that- the more electric you use, the better a customer you are to the power company. Not even a meter reader can turn you in if he notices your meter reading high, he will lose his job over the privacy act.

So: Nobody cares what kind of trouble you get in, they just don't want to get into trouble with you.

That's my point, use common sense folks.

On my last orders from the Tude I had to contact my cc company for them to authorize the purchase because they said the vendor I was purchasing from was flagged by their fraud dept. I'm thinking that if the attitude got flagged enough times, they opened an investigation into who the attitude is. Because regardless of whether it says attitude gift or attitude seeds if you type "attitude" into google the first link is usually for the seedbank. And I don't know what information they have access to, but the SagePay thing could be an easy way for them to identify them because the tude is the only online retailer I have used that uses SagePay.

Just speculation but one thing I can say for sure is that it seems like the Attitude is having problems with their payment system lately and this does not bode well for my confidence in them. Thankfully there are places like Seedbay that will hold your order until your money arrives via the mail. It takes a bit longer but don't have to deal with this hassle.

Same happened here. Went to place an order and Wells Fargo declined the order and made my card status stolen. That's the only reason I tried a different seed bank this go around. Thought I was just a fluke though.

some banks will decline any purchases that are made out of the country as they think the average card holder isn't buying stuff outside of the us, therefore they flag the sale and report the card as stolen.. only because it's a uk purchase, not for what you're buying..

Yes it is true. Those bust must have had reasonable suspicion, THEN they can subpoena your electric bill to help them get a search warrant. 2 drug busts in your town are no reason to call me a liar, thanks though.
