[QUOTE="AussieCollector, post: 3590959, member: 81093"]Thought I'd share this interesting interaction. I tried to pay for my recent win at auction last night, but was a bit stumped that I got no confirmation for my payment. So I logged in online and checked to see that there was a pending transaction there, so I guessed all was good. But when I checked online again this morning, it was gone completely. I then called up my bank to inquire as to what was going on. They then transferred me to the fraud team. After many questions about my identity, they then said "Yea, look mate, we're going to have to have a conversation about what you're trying to purchase here". I explained I was purchasing a coin. They then said "Yea, so this is the problem mate. Is this like a bit-coin or some sort of other cryptocurrency or something?" To which I explained "no, it's an ancient Greek coin." Them: ".....oh. So... like a physical coin?" Me: "Yes. An actual physical ancient coin." Them: "Sorry, all fixed. It'll go through now" Ahhh, the trials and tribulations of a collector :rolleyes: o_O :D :eek:[/QUOTE]
