Your order system does not accept gmail or yahoo accounts, which, unfortunately are the only services I use. Why can I use a free e-mail address?
You will receive important information and receipts via e-mail. Products are usually delivered by e-mail as well. However, this does not apply to orders by credit card. To offer this payment type without incurring risks, we can only accept addresses from fee-based e-mail services. Yes, we insist on a real, non-free, non-anonymous e-mail address. Why? Because of the online commerce security risks involved. The sad truth is that about 90% of orders placed using free e-mail addresses were fraudulent. This was bad for us, because every chargeback costs us money, and bad for the legitimate cardholders whose credit cards were being used by wannabe hackers to purchase our products. On the other hand, virtually any bona fide customer has a real, non-free e-mail address. And, once again: no, we don’t need your real e-mail address to spam you. No, your e-mail address will never be shared with anyone. No, we won’t subscribe you to our mailing list against your will. We hate spam as much as you do
