I tried to buy some stuffs from Bluefly and Net10, but my credit card did not work on neither website. The card is made in US, and they work normary on other places. Customer Representatives have no ideas why it is happening. Somebody help me, why?

Mostly all the ecommerce websites do check card validations like CVV2 & address verification. CVV2 is the secret code (usually 3-4 digits) located at the backside of your credit card. You may need to enter this while you are purchasing in that website. This gives additional security check that you are the person who is holding the card or not.
Another check is the address verification. The address that you are mentioning in the website should match your credit card's billing address.
Following is the article which would really help you understand the credit card validation

I'm not sure myself, bit it may be that you're putting in the numbers on the card with hyphens in-between. Some websites are set up where you have to put in the whole number without any spaces or hyphens. Then again, it may be something else.
