Same freaking experience here …
For me the name was the biggest problem. If itself was somewhere mentioned there would have been no problem.

Cheers,

I had the same! Allready had the transaction cancelled and when I googled the the store where these criminals had used my creditcard I found out! It were those t-shirts…

The name isn’t even the biggest problem, the fact that they charge in Turkish Lira makes it worse!

Gotta disagree with your comment a little here

As I said in the post, it’s not an issue about them being a Turkish company at all. It’s about expectations.

My real point(s) is yes it should appear on my credit card bill as their brand name. But also, if I purchase something for USD$22 then is should be charged as USD$22. Not “27.06 Turkish Lira”.

Like, I assume with you guys that ‘Mindscape’ would show on the bill and you’d bill in USD$. You wouldn’t see “JD’s Obscure Company Name - 123.45 New Zealand Pesos”.

Location will always, ALWAYS matter

Hey John,

Here I was, about to unsubscribe from what I thought was a dead blog… kidding, kidding

Gotta disagree with you a little here - never assume just because it’s USD that it’s a US business. About 80% of my online purchases are in USD for companies I know are based outside the US.

Even we charge in that manner. Heck, even on the Ponoko site you charge in USD (although to be fair I guess technically you’re a US business now

People need to upgrade their industrial age consumer chip to the new information age consumer chip - location doesn’t matter as much anymore.

I think your real point should be “appear on my credit card bill as the name of your company”. Otherwise, good post.

Cheers,
