If you're trying to buy multiple things in quick succession, and it's uncommon for you to do, your bank might flag it as fraudulent activity.

Thats something you need to take up with your bank and/or Amazon.. nothing we can do will help as we have zero insite to these transactions to know.

They're probably wondering why you'd buy one, and buy another one right after instead of just buying a tenner. Doesn't make much sense, does it?

Your posts are hard to read.

@WolfLoverPro Card thieves often buy something small to test if a card works then buy lots of other stuff afterwards. So a few low cost purchases of multiples of the same thing will raise flags with your card issuer.

 

Especially gift cards, as they're essentially converting your cash into something they can't trace.

Talk to your bank. They will be able to tell you the exact message that came through on the rejected transaction

Sometimes this happened to Blizzard, talked to my bank and Blizzard, apparently blizzard didn’t verify the transaction on their end, so sometimes that happens, the next day it worked fine.

 

it could also be the Amazon fraud system, if you buy lots of low value items, more so Gift Cards, I imagine it would crack in, as that’s what most people buy with stolen credit cards.

It's more then likely that the £5 top up shortly followed up by another purchase was flagged by the bank as possibly fraudulent (as that technique is used commonly in fraudulent card transactions) and the bank put a block on the card (although you should have been contacted by your banks fraud department regarding the transaction).
