They only want this photocopy from US customers. I once read that was because they had problems with US customers doing reverse charges much too early, causing them too loose money. I think there was a time when they did not accept CC payment from the US alltogether.
Though I wondern how a photocopy would help with a reverse charge... but then again, that's just what I heard. Only fact is, for european orders, no photocopies are required.
US Customers are notorious in the OP world for bring reverse scammers. Sometimes it's accidental, i.e. "Waaaah, my order didn't get here in 9 days, I'm reversing charges," and sometimes it's just plain mailcious. But ignorance of the. . .(facts) does not excuse.
That's why P24 made it very uncomfortable for new or relatively unknown US customers to start/continue using credit cards. It's probably the same reason that most IOPs weren't accepting CC's long before Visa/Mastercard accepted the anti-illegal activity clause.
