A website i ordered from required me make a mimimun purchase of X dollers before i could order. Then they required my bank card to have a protection service called 3D, provided by the card company(legit and i have done so) but since at the that time i didnt have the 3D they asked me for a copy of my id or a phone bill, ect. They say there billing service is tight because of "recent increase of fraudulent payments".
Does this sound fishy to you? I was buying from a Herbal shop, just some leaves.

I dunno. I dont see it as suspicious.
If what you are buying is legal. Then they are just making sure THEY dont get ripped off by a fraudulent payment.
When you go to the grocery store and you pay with your credit card, your face is recorded on every camera of the store... + im sure you got a facebook account and some other info accessible to everyone.
Dont be paranoid. make your purchase, confirm your ID...

Well apparently a merchant isn't allowed to require a minimum when you use a credit card. I don't see the problem and can actually understand why one would need to but if their not supposed to and do then i think they should be reported because its kinda of a red flag you know? Other than that i never been asked for a copy of a bill or photo id and thought, wait a min!
I'm not getting anything illegal or anything that can be made into something illegal so i'm not concerned there.
I don't know, i just hope the order goes though this time now that i added the 3D feature and i get my Herbs.

I'm pretty sure a merchant can require a minimum order. Afterall, it is the merchants product, not yours.
Sounds kinda weird but it also sounds legit if they want you to prove with a bill or somethin. Makes sense if they recently got ripped off.

Credit card companies charge merchants a certain fixed percentage on all CC purchases in order to use their service so a minimum order is allowed, I'm quit sure. If the CC company charges the merchant a dollar to process a transaction and you want to buy a .50 cent pack of gum, it doesn't make sense to the merchant. This is a silly illustration but it get's to the point of min purchase amounts.
