I have my eBay account set to pay with a credit card by default for the bonus points (I've bought a...considerable number of cards in the last 6 months).
But it's strange and irritating: About half the time, I confirm payment and the purchase goes through no problem. And then the other half of the time, it says I need to re-enter the security code for my credit card. I do, but then it always says the transaction didn't go through, so I have to change the payment method to PayPal, login to PP, and it takes the money out of my checking account (despite the fact that I have the same credit card set as my default PP payment method for online purchases).
I've contacted a few sellers asking if they have their accounts set not to take credit card payments, but they've said that's not the case. Just seems to be a totally random glitch. It's very frustrating.
