But I've learned, with adult especially, sometimes the problems are way up the financial chain. Wall Street having a bad day, Greece defaults, this excuse or that calamity, sales suffer.
But yeah, if you want to pay and cannot then there's a BIG problem.

The "proving my card" (asking for the first and last 4 digits) - turned out to be 'just to look up my purchasing history'
(I have none - first time user)
The 'proving my existence' that followed was the outrageous part: (from a customer point of view)
- Full CC declaration printed and signed with all my personal name, addy, card info, a declaration that I wanted to do recurring purchases, etc...
- had to be submitted with a 'clear' copy of my (front/back) passport or drivers license
???
just to buy some video clips
you should be thankful they don't have affiliates. Imagine what you would have to provide...
So yeah - every surfer wants to give out twice as much info than it takes to falsify an identity - just to buy some porn clips
now I had 9 stores bookmarked, and was prepared to pretty much buy a couple thousand worth of clips
but hell - why pay, especially when they won't let you.
