Call the bank that issued the debit/credit card it may have been flagged by the bank as a fraud charge. Also file a support ticket to make sure nothing is wrong on Anet’s end. This are the only 2 things you can do.

I was in the same boat few days ago, I had to call my bank to resolve it for me.

Thanks for providing your personal experience; it’s helpful for players to know how you resolved the same situation.

Generally, the block is on the credit card provider’s end. A call to your CC company or bank — the company that issued the card — should clear this up.
