I do not understand how their payment process works. Why do they not charge the card instantly? and why are they not asking for the 3 digit CVV2 code? [i think this is the reason it gets declined?) My card has been declined even though its working fine on other websites. I canceled the order and thought I will purchase a gift card instead, perhaps that would be instant charge but that's not the case either. Until now, all shopping sites I have used charge the card within seconds of clicking submit. What's Amazon's method of charging?

They charge the card, when the order is dispatched.

Try deleting the card, then adding it as a new payment method. It should ask you for the CVV2 code again then.

Dispatched meaning shipped? I contacted the seller directly, according to them Amazon charges the card and sends them shipping address, then the order will be shipped & confirmed, they do not support CVV2 :(. This is what I received from their support just few minutes ago.

CVV2 security code:

I'm sorry, but our ordering system is not set up to accept the CVV2 security code associated with credit cards. I hope this will not prevent you from receiving your order. Some issuing banks do have stricter requirements for internet purchases. If your bank requires that the CVV2 code be submitted, unfortunately we can't accommodate that request and you will need to use a different credit card or payment method.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I am amazed though, there are Banks that will issue the credit/debit card and not require CVV2 authorization? and more at Amazon, they have a big name but there system doesn't have any support for CVV2...

If you have PayPal you can generate a CC.

I don't have Paypal, even if I had generating a CC would take time unless they give you Virtual CC...

Ahh right, that's an Amazon Marketplace order.

If you order an item sent by Amazon, they charge when the item is shipped.

Here in the UK they don't to ask for the CVV2, or Verified by Visa either, which I like as it's quick and simple to order.

However I wonder if Amazon actually have to pay for fraud themselves. :blink:

I can't think of a reason why they do not have a setup where they authenticate the CVV2 as well, I mean is it too hard given they are already processing rest of the information?

Why contact the seller? I thought Amazon handled the payment directly, hence 'amazon payments'. And the security restrictions depend on your bank really.

I contacted the seller just to have an idea of Amazon's payment system and Amazon is the first website I have seen which doesn't ask for CVV2 code, so I wouldn't blame my Bank for it. CVV2 is there for a reason.

No.

You could use an Amazon giftcard, if you can buy them elsewhere.

Or explain the situation to the seller, and see if they except paypal or have a website.

Ya, thinking of some other way.

To be fair to Amazon CVV2 is as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

It was useful when it was first introduced as few retailers used it so it was harder for fraudsters to get hold of it. Now that it is used everywhere getting card details with the CVV2 is the norm.

Address verification combined with a strict "only send to the cardholders registered address" is the best, simplest way.

VbV and MasterCard Securecode are more secure but fiddly for the consumer and probably significantly more costly for the retailer whilst offering only marginally more protection than address verification combined with a strict shipping policy.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      If only Windows would have a toggle switch labeled "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible. Awesome idea!

      After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
