Pokemoncenter-online credit card problem?

Hi, I've been experiencing problems with Pokemoncenter-online.com recently, I've always used my boa credit card to purchase on the site but since one month ago I wasn't able to use my card any longer. I tried another Visa card, a Mastercard debit card, tried cards from different banks but none of them worked. Fellow collectors told me the website

They recently stopped accepting foreign credit cards sometime in April :( it's so sad

OMG that's so bad :(

Not sure why those people said they only banned Visa, it should be they've stopped accepting overseas credit cards since around start of March (or yes April. I literally made a purchase a week or two before the change)? They implemented some kind of new checkout API that doesn't allow them anymore.
You'll have to use a proxy or some other source to get from the site now because of that. :\

Oh that's too bad, proxy service is so expensive when you buy tons of stuff every month :(

would paying through paypal work for you?

[fdarkly]

Yes, but I don't think the site accepts Paypal...

[ddbythesea]

it does! right before you click check out there's an option to do it through paypal

You can try amazon japan maybe?

I can, but Amazon doesn't carry everything from Pokemon Center, maybe I need to start using deputy services for all my future purchases (and that really sucks :(
