Credit Card to use on Aliexpress
 

I've been buying off them for years but I've had my credit card number come up for fraud twice in 3 weeks. Now I refuse to use any real credit card on the site and I'm not even sure it would work as I now have a block on foreign transactions.

Any suggestions for cards I can use that would work for purchases from the US to China(Aliexpress). I know some cards auto decline foreign transactions.

Have you looked at Entropay?

If you have a business in the US look at more secure virtual card providers where you can also create multiple cards that don't mind you loading a fair amount of £ without q's.

They may want financial records, some in the UK do but once sorted they are solid.

Personally, avoid NETELLER, ENTROPAY for these transactions

I've had this issue the last month too. It's usually the address matching up with credit card. If u ship to a different address, that's where it causes problem so when I enter billing address manually each purchase, it was fine.

This is what I do. I dont use a credit card for overseas transactions, use a debit card.

Get 2 bank accounts, 1 with a debit card attached to it. When you are ready to buy something, transfer only the needed amount of funds to the account with the debit card attached and nothing more.

If someone tries to use your debit card number, it will decline since there isnt any funds in that bank account. You hopefully pulled it to the 2nd account not attached to any card.

This method works 100% for me. Last year someone tried to buy something with my debit card and got declined since there wasnt any money in that account. I only use that debit card for overseas purchases. I put a small label on the card that says "overseas only" on front.

If the card ever gets comprised, close the account and the bank account also.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into the virtual cards. 3 new cards in a month is a real Pain in the butt.
