Please contact your bank to find out why they will not authorize the purchase.
481 is a "catch all" error code. If you are using a Visa or Mastercard CREDIT card (not debit), the bank returns the 481 decline code if they think there is a problem with the card, usually an incorrect expiration date or an incorrect billing address. In one case, I was told that the bank declined the card because it had never been used outside of the US before, and when contacted, they did agree to approve the transaction.
