Trying 10mn later from a famous bookstore chain, zero problem, the payment was immediately accepted. 😠 <br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/bookstore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstore</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/discrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>discrimination</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/bank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bank</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/onlineshopping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>onlineshopping</span></a></p>
