NorthernRyland Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I just tried to setup a Shopee account but they don't seem to like my US debit card (visa). Can anyone confirm they actually take non-Thai visa cards? There may be some other error but I wanted to rule this out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonray Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 It's far more likely that your US bank is blocking the transaction because they believe it may be fraudulent coming thru a Thai based vendor. Call them and ask about using it overseas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I have not tried to use a card as find direct bank transfer works fine with Shopee and no extra charges for using that method. If you have online banking might want to use that as your payment choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find that in the knowledge base of shopee Malaysia and Philippines. Couldn't find that in the knowledge base for Sh.Thailand but I guess it's the same. There are other payment options though.

Another said direct bank transfers work but maybe that's not true? Not sure why they wouldn't take foreign cards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
