How do you purchase something on international sites?

I totally agree that the requirements to authorize a transaction is laughable. Even more so that the information is printed on the card itself, insane.



I use paypal when possible. Otherwise, I have a separate, rarely used, credit card. The card has no NFC.

Notably, every time I've used it on-line, it forwarded me to my banks website, where I needed to do a 2 factor thing. I'd guess that is vendor-dependent though. I can't imagine US webshops are setup for that. (Most of my usage is amazon.de)
