Hi Ahmed,

 

I checked your account and I can see that you will need to verify your billing method. You should find 2 small charges on your bank statement, please enter these 2 charges to complete the verification.
Once this is completed, the charges will be refunded back, and your billing method will be verified. Thank you.

My card is set up for all kinds of transactions, I've cross checked with the bank.

Hi Rupal,


Just to confirm, did your bank confirmed that your account is enabled for international charges as well? Thank you.
