[tlug] [OT] Japan and 海外 credit cards

[Tobias Diedrich <ranma@example.com>]

Ok, I know this is not in any way linux related, but I'm wondering
why it seems to be so difficult for japanese websites to accept
non-japanese credit cards.
I tried eplus.jp and wallet.yahoo.jp and both refused to use my

also only accept japanese Visa (Except Seven-Eleven I guess).

At least at yahoo.co.jp I'd have expected to be able to use my card
since they also offer a 海外 registration in addition to the 国内
registration.
But they do state "海外で発行した一部のクレジットカードは、
