I went to place a small order from DigiKey but I got the error "can't process your order--please contact your bank."  This seems to happen several times a year and requires me to either wait till the problem disappears on its own, or sit on hold for 30 min to resolve.  Last time Visa froze my card because I ordered "$1500 of merchandise from an online store categorized as 'women's apparel.'"  When I called to resolve the issue they said that "since I was not a woman" the transaction was flagged as suspicious.  Visa, do you not realize that men buy things for women?

Eventually, we will be able to purchase on-line from several merchants without the "help" of third-parties.  But in the meantime, please someone create a reliable bitcoin-to-credit-card gateway that also manages my shipping addresses.  I would pay for this service just out of spite for Visa. 

(My apologies for the rant!)
