Just a warning to anybody else who has First Community bank, I ordered a new hard drive for newegg the other day and was surprised to find out that the payment did not go through even though i had more then enough funds in my checking account. I check my checking account again and confirmed that i still had the same amount in my account so i tried to charge it again thinking maybe i put in the wrong card number or something like that, still would not go through. So i went down to the bank today explain my story they are also confused until she sees that newegg has been put on their black list of fraudulent sellers. I could only remove the blocking on my account to them till Tuesday and would have to either call or go in every time i wanted to order from newegg. Looks like I am going to switch to a different bank just wanted to put out a warning to others in case they has the same problem.
 
Newegg? Fraudulent?

Weird. I guess since it's a smaller bank, they tend to be more cautious ;-). That's a good thing in some ways, but sometimes inconvenient as what you're experiencing.
 
I once had a newegg charge also declined apparently related to the IP address I placed the order from because funding was available and even the shipping address was my own.. The only thing that differed was I placed the order while at a friends place. I was a bit disgruntled at first but then ended up purchasing a different item instead.
