I have been trying to buy a gift for a friend from a foreign website that uses UniTeller to receive payments. Not really wishing to use my normal card, I tried using my Virtual Key. The payment starts processing, I get the text to confirm my identity and do so, then the website says my payment was declined. Strangely, my source credit card account immediately notifies me that the payment has been made, but then refunded instantaneously by PayPal. My PayPal account shows zero activity whatsoever. Naturally, my order doesn't go through. (I tried paying with a pre-paid VISA, too, and got declined, but without any record of the transaction, unlike previously. So the Virtual Key definitely processes, and even includes the currency conversion charge, but PayPal immediately cancels it without letting me allow it.) Any help is appreciated; I'd really like to be able to complete this purchase. Website was the Bolshoi Theater Gift Shop, Russian domain. Payment system is UniTeller, an international company but its Russian domain.
