Problems buying Plat with google/paypal

[Luke Brown]

Hey Guys,

Before i start i have been able to buy plat on my mobile for PL with no issues whatsoever.

So ive been trying to buy plat for DL on my mobile and im getting a constant purchase cancelled (Google checkout)
I jumped on the desktop and was able to buy 1 pack of 30 plat no issues at all (Google checkout)

The next day i tried my phone again and still couldnt get an order through, jumped on the computer and now that wont work either!! I have tried Google checkout and Paypal<---Pages crashes when i change country to Australia.

Troubleshooting ive done...

Deleted my card and set it up again
Made sure i had plenty of money on the card

Think thats all i can realy do...
Any help here would be great :)

Update,

I just tried the Amazon checkout and was able to process an order for 30 plat, but its been 15 minutes so far and the platinum hasn't been credited to my account!!
Here is my order code: 373edf6a-a783-4479-9fa7-52564655294a

Can i please get this looked at ASAP
My Char name is lukeyzz

I would speak to support, who can track down your orders and see if you have any pending.

Email : Support@spacetimestudios.com


Include your in game name, level, and include in the subject something like "I can't buy platinum". Explain your problem and they can review your previous purchases.

You might need to wait a day or 2 because they are fairly busy.

If you have any questions, please message me, I'll help ya out.

Yea as you can expect thousands of purchases are going through at the moment, so yours might be in a sort of "queue". Although i havent heard this from Amazon, its happened many times with PL after/before major updates/events.

Support do not work on weekends. Have you had an email back confirming that your request has gone through? You will see a ticket #3 or something similar. I think these tickets are a waiting queue.

Keep waiting, I'm sure that you will get your platinum :)

As to the question of why it's easier to buy platinum from a desktop than it is from a mobile phone -

When using Google Checkout from a mobile device, sometimes the user is allowed to complete the transaction process without entering a billing address (Google Checkout doesn't event prompt for this if you're already signed in). We've found that the failure rate for these transactions is much higher than normal, though it does work some of the time. If you're having trouble making a webstore purchase from a mobile device, we recommend cancelling that order and trying again from a desktop browser. Be aware, however, that some merchants or banks will keep a "lock" on the funds of a canceled transaction for a few days, so those funds may not be immediately available, even though they haven't actually been removed from your account.

I have had similar problems when trying to purchase plat through Google Play, but there is no problem If I buy directly from STS webstore and I can still use Google Wallet to pay.
