6 reasons your card fails (in order we saw)
Agent’s Stripe blocks BIN 40000x (US prepaid/VC). Error: “Your card is not supported.”
Bank OTP timeout 120s → decline. Revolut/Wise card 3D often fails on China Stripe.
Billing zip vs card zip. US ZIP 5 vs agent asks 6-digit.
Double charge → Stripe anti-fraud locks 24h. We did after decline → retry instantly.
Some US debit blocks CNY MCC 7399.
Stripe holds $1 test + charge, needs $2 extra vs Wise ACH none.
3 fixes that never fail (ranked)
In agent top-up, choose “Bank transfer → Wise”. Paste agent’s Alipay/Bank name (Joyagoo Network). Push ¥1,000 via Wise $140.88 (see fee math guide). 0/40 declined, proof = Wise UTR.
If you have HK Alipay (passport HK bind), top-up via “Alipay” rail — 0.8% vs 2.9% PayPal, 2 min. No 3D.
Use PayPal only for first risky bag >$80 for 180d chargeback, eat 4.2% cost, then move to Wise. Don’t leave $200+ balance in PayPal — hold risk after dispute.
Script if you call bank after decline (paste)
After approval, wait 24h before retry — Stripe velocity locks. Or switch to Wise in 6 min and never call bank again. Full declare before freight: US tariff templates.
