Payment rejected???

I tried to purchase Raging Thunder 2 and it rejected my card. I've made purchases in the market before too, so it was odd. I called my credit card company and they had flagged it as suspicious but allowed it to go through after I called.

Any reason why this would get flagged? Is it because the company is in Europe? I thought Google Checkout handled the payment in these cases anyway? Has anyone had this happen?

BTW, love the game, very addictive...

Yes, it happens to me quite a lot. Payments under a certain amount get flagged on my card by fraud prevention, as it might be someone doing a test to see if they can use my account by paying in a small amount then taking it out again. I think it's something to do with Google checkout. It's nothing to worry about. I'm actually glad they're vigilant about it.
