IP geolocation is, as I said above, an inaccurate dumpster fire.].Some people spoof their browser's identifying information for privacy reasons.[Edit: As per Asterdel, Braintree checks the local time reported by your browser (probably via the javascript Date API) against the time zone obtained by geolocating your IP address, and blocks the transaction if they don't match.Keeping up with every time an IP block changes ownership has always been a fool's errand, but it's even harder now that the world is basically out of IPv4 addresses so blocks must be bought from someone else rather than allocated by a RIR. It's not uncommon for geolocation databases to return the wrong state, or even the wrong country, for a given IP. IP geolocation is an inaccurate dumpster fire and only getting worse.Some people place orders when they're at work, at school, on vacation, visiting friends/family, or so forth.(Consider truck drivers, oil field workers, or college students.) Some people spend long spans away from their residence for work, school, or family reasons.Some people use a mailing address for their credit card billing address.The assumption that customers will always place orders from their credit card billing address is not warranted because.This leads to a lot of false positives for couple of reasons: Braintree runs your IP address through a geolocation database and blocks your order if the geolocation result doesn't match the billing address on your credit card. I did learn a bit about the misguided fraud-prevention measure that borked my order.I contacted A-net after not hearing from them for 4 days, and that was too late. I don't know how long the timeout is before your order is automatically voided.So I can't say whether A-Net or Braintree is to blame for this. A-Net support ignored several very pointed requests for an explanation of why they didn't contact me to resolve the problem, and why their automated e-mail expressly promises follow-up contact via e-mail, and then they don't do that.Don't wait for the promised follow-up e-mail, because it's not coming. If you receive this e-mail, my advice is to immediately contact support and ask them to push the transaction through. A-Net never attempted to contact me about my transaction, and some automated system voided it after awhile - and they didn't notify me about that either. If Braintree's overzealous fraud-prevention measures flag your transaction, instead of getting an e-mail with codes, you will get an e-mail saying 'Thank you for submitting your purchase! We are currently reviewing this purchase attempt XXXX and will send a follow-up email as soon as the transaction is processed.' Elsewhere, A-Net's website says that 'you may experience a delay of up to 12 hours (although it should be much quicker).' This is not true.(Though, apparently they do get a vague description attached to particular transactions.) As per my conversation with A-Net support, A-Net does not even know what fraud-prevention measures Braintree uses (or does not use) for A-Net's transactions.As per my conversation with A-Net support, A-Net has no control whatsoever over which fraud-prevention measures Braintree uses (or doesn't use) for A-Net's transactions.I'll talk about one in particular in a minute. Braintree employs some overzealous fraud-prevention measures.Aside: You might think that A-Net, as a matter of principle, wouldn't do business with a company that made it big by enabling the birth of the RMT industry.A-Net's new payment processor is 'Braintree, a division of PayPal.'
