Aliexpress
Making payments on Aliexpress is really straightforward forward but we have seen a few customers complain about the cards being declined because Aliexpress requires them to submit an appeal.
If you have this issue, you should submit the appeal and prove your identity to Aliexpress. This is just a security check from Aliexpress to be sure you own the card and after this, you should be good to go.
If the error you see is the error below, please reach out to us.
