iTunes and PayPal Aren’t Playing Nice Today
Very odd thing is happening to me this afternoon - I'm trying to buy a simple iTunes email gift certificate for Nina against my PayPal account (my default funding source) and it keeps saying that the credit card is refused. Not really. I can buy a song, so that's OK, but if I try to get the $20 iTunes 'card', it fails. I've put in my information several times - no difference. Odd... very odd.
So I'm thinking it's something that's temporary on iTunes Store. Gotta be. PayPal is OK, saying I created the 'Pay agreement' with iTunes, but it's got to be the call from iTunes Store to PayPal that's causing the problem.
So I had to tell Nina that she's going to have to wait for a bit to let this issue settle out and then I can send her the money. Maybe this evening, maybe tomorrow. But I feel certain it's OK as I'm able to buy a song. Hmmm... very odd indeed.
UPDATE: I bought an album, upgraded a song to iTunes Plus, all that worked. But the gift certificate didn't. Wild. I'll have to wait and see how it plays out this evening.
