I guess I don't understand all the details under the hood. I had thought Visa was Visa. Are prepaid Mastercards more widely adopted or supported?That's an issue beyond the control of redfox, but with the card itself. They're not as widely adopted as normal ones.
Every bank individually issues a Visa Card, its like a membership. If the bank handling the transaction was not the bank that sold the card, it costs them money to get the money transferred.I guess I don't understand all the details under the hood.

I would have thought that cost would be covered by the merchant percentage that they charge you?Every bank individually issues a Visa Card, its like a membership. If the bank handling the transaction was not the bank that sold the card, it costs them money to get the money transferred.
No , Mastercard is a Credit card, not a Debit. Or a prepay.I would have thought that cost would be covered by the merchant percentage that they charge you?
Do Mastercard banks do the same thing?
I used a Visa debit card, not prepaid, it was refused. The second time less than 10 minutes later the transaction went through.So the issue is with any debit card, whether it's prepaid or not, Visa or Mastercard? (There are debit cards for both.)
Is that something that can eventually be supported, or not?
I had a similar problem when I purchased a second SlySoft AnyDVD license back in July 2011 (first late December 2008), different bank. Called them to allow the charge and was told to try the transaction again. Which I had already done while on hold waiting for that "representative that wants to speak with" me.Its hit and miss. Most are being accepted, in fact all of those who have Visa, if they had an issue all they would have to is contact the bank and tell them to let the transaction through.
Why would a prepaid card cause a problem? Is this a temporary problem or a permanent one?
You could get a prepaid Visa debit card and join the overwhelming stampede overloading the RedFox store server.Waiting for the word that MasterCard purchases are welcome, card burning hole in my wallet.
Not entirely true. My first attempt with my Visa Check card failed, the second attempt succeeded. Both tries triggered an automated Visa Fraud Protection phone call.Debit cards do not work apparently, as my attempts failed.
