One of my credit card's here in the US is blocking all purchased made via UK gateways due to a high number of fraudulent and stolen cards being processed.

That could really hurt some people...I was trying to renew my Skpye subscription for Europe and the UK, and Skype processes those purchased via their UK gateway....

It wouldn't take the charge, I called the bank and they told me that was why...

Not good for UK based businesses looking to sell in the US....
