So random- I am banned from ordering online from American Eagle?

I am banned from ordering online from Target. Just Target. I don’t know why because Target won’t discuss it with me. It’s ridiculous.

That happened to my husband and it had something to do with his Target credit card - I want to say he had ordered something, it was out of stock but they shipped it weeks later, but in that time he had been issued a new Target card with a different card security code. They tried to charge his old card, it didn’t work, and it tripped all 9 million of their anti-fraud things. He was able to contact them and eventually someone was able to unblock his account but it took a few phone calls. I could always order with my credit card (non-Target). It was weird.

I had this with eBay last week. Was it a large purchase? I bought something for $1200 they told me that was the reason as I didn’t have a history of making large eBay purchases. They eBay declined every card and I needed to talk to a supervisor.

I had a credit card leak from orders placed online in nov 2023. Could never figure the source. Today I received an email from my bank for a declined payment on the American Eagle Outfiter online store with my old cancelled credit card number. So avoid this company as your data is most likely not secured.

Anyone with any sense operates as if their data is "not secured" anywhere.

I order from anthro and Free People a lot and they are really fast with shipping. There might have been a security breach with cards related to yours ? I’d want to know why.

They didn’t like that the billing address was different from the shipping address. So I cancelled the order and made two orders for two dresses each on a card with matched billing address.

Maybe I’ll be banned after I return 3 to 4 of them?

well, that's clear. Girls buying multiple slip dresses from Homecoming would send up a red flag!

So stores don't want to keep inventory in stock and push online ordering but they also don't want people to order multiple sizes and return.

They should just do no returns on cheap dresses on sites like Homecoming. I never return anything online. Way too lazy. Plus I usually buy sale items. Not worth it

Yes. I was banned from Nordstrom Rack. I used to buy and return often. Evidently they sent an email warning me that I didn’t see. Tried to purchase and couldn’t. It’s not a bad thing. I’ve moved and could probably buy again but don’t need to really.

I worry about this with Anthropologie. I've had a bunch (6+?) dress occasions since June and have routinely ordered 4-5 dresses and kept one--often when paying $30 for overnight shipping. I'm 49 and my body is all weird (to me) with perimenopausal changes so it takes me a few tries to get a flattering dress. Gone are the days that I can put anything on and look good.

Added to this is a huge Urban Outfitters order we just placed for Homecoming dresses. Bought 6, keeping 1 (maybe). They're all pretty shoddy, sizing is all over the place, etc. It's almost impossible for even a teenager to pick the right dress virtually.

It’s definitely people like you causing the problems. If a site has shoddy clothing don’t shop there. I usually only buy brands I know so I know how they size their clothes. If a teen needs a dress sites like Shopbop have huge inventories and they are made for specific brands like Staud or ALC. No surprises.

Item was marked delivered by the carrier, but she never received it (it either went to the wrong house or got stolen). They refunded her, but banned her from making any future online orders, though she can still shop in store.

Sephora will do that to you too if you report a lost package. The first time. They don’t give any allowance for actual errors or thefts. You report a package missing; they refund you your money; and you can never order online from them again.

If this happened to 2 out of 50
Orders that’s a lot of revenue lost. Some people actually lie about this stuff and commit fraud. Not you but companies don’t have to deal with this.

This is a really normal way to shop these days! All those insta personalities also show their big hauls and then report they ended up keeping 1 item out of like 20. I think it's not usually about returns but about fraud on a credit card.

Something like that happened to me when I was ordering for my husband, using his credit card and they got all crazy on me when I called to find out why the order had been cancelled.

Excessive returns.
