Once in a while this can happen and might be due to the one of the following reasons:
- Insufficient funds on the credit card
- You made a typo when entering any of the credit card information
- Your bank decided not to allow the transaction. This can happen at your bank's discretion. In such cases there are three options on how you could solve this:
- You may check out via PayPal as a guest. On the cart page just click on the yellow PayPal button (don't worry as you will not need to sign up with them), click on the gray button at the bottom, which says Something along the lines of "Pay with debit or credit card". Sometimes it might also says "Continue without an account" or "Create an account". It can also say something completely different, as this depends on where you are connecting from. Just make sure it's the gray button. On the next page you will be able to enter your card details.
- If you have an existing PayPal account you may of course just use that one.
- Alternatively, you may also call your bank and let them know they should unblock and allow the transaction.
