pay vrbo for rental from the UK

I am renting a property in Texas and the owner accepts credit cards via VRBO who then pay the owner.

I don't know if it's the fact that I have a UK credit card but VRBO seem unable to receive money from my credit card company who have given VRBO the OK to receive the money. They have received the OK 12 times. I have had to resort to sending a cheque from the UK.

Anybody had similar problems?
