LegendExeter Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Has anyone encountered any trouble adding money to their digital wallet for ps3 ps store purchases? I've tried multiple cards and it keeps saying Error Please Try Again. Cards are good nowhere near max. Any suggestions? I've been able to use my regular CC when after the notice came out up until a week ago now I can't use that and it's not letting me add funds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazkowicz6 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Use PS4 or PC to add funds to wallet then buy on PS3 store,I don't think cards will work on PS3 store directly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieboy Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) You can't add funds on PS3 or Vita using a card or PayPal anymore. Those platforms will only accept PSN codes now. You will have to either use a PS4, PS5 or the web store to add funds using a card or PayPal now. Edited November 6, 2021 by Stevieboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm online at psn on my mobile go to user I'd, payment management, add funds. Then it says how would you like to add funds a Cc or debit card, PayPal. Are you saying that I can't use a CC to add funds to the wallet? If not why is the option there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never used a mobile to access PSN, but I assume it's the same as using the web store. Therefore you should be able to add funds using a card or PayPal there. It's only specifically on the PS3 or Vita that you must use PSN credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otonio_Bruno Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Well, I was having trouble yesterday to add funds to my wallet using the PC version of PS Store, same error as @LegendExeter. To make clear, I wasn't trying to add funds using my ps3, I was trying to add funds using my CC on the PC version of PS Store. There is definitely issue going on right now.

LegendExeter Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Well it's resolved yet I contacted Playstation Support and tweeted at them. After speaking with support in chat they deleted all my billing information of which I have not tried to re-add it yet. Then they also said to try buying a PS card on Amazon. I bought the PS Card, got the voucher code from Amazon, then entered into my digital wallet using a laptop and it added the funds. It's so odd that both credit cards and PayPal didn't work. Yet solution for now is buy the PSN card. I bought the PS4 card and it still worked on my ps3. Edited November 6, 2021 by LegendExeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the PS4 card and it still worked on my ps3. it works in low amounts of $10. anything above $10 it gives me a error. and i had to use 2 credit cards. once you had the funds in your wallet how did you buy the ps3 games? i have no wallet option. it shows i have money in my wallet, but no option to pick it. i think ill try deleting all my credit cards. i even tried the pc store basket and it dont show them in there. this is a nuisance edit i got it to work after all that. i removed my items from the cart and re added them buying them one by one and it let me use the wallet option. odd. hope that helps someone in the future Edited December 1, 2021 by melodicmizery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see this until now. I went and bought a $60 card from Amazon, entered the code for redeem PSN card and the money was added to my digital wallet. Then I went to the PSN store and it showed my funds available in wallet and let me purchase $57 worth. I think the problem is with the initial credit cards attached to the account, and honestly any thereafter, they all need to be disconnected as you can't use them anyway. Then go to Amazon and use the PSN card method for adding funds to wallet and it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walafc0 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I was able to add funds with my CC through my PS4 and my computer without any issue last week and on Monday. Idk what's wrong with you guys but everything is working, you don't need to buy a PSN card from Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSN/PS Store have been acting very weird ever since the announcement of its closure back in march, including not being able to sign-in because your password is wrong (when it's not), refusal to accept to buy a product in PS Store if you have the "require password for at sale checkout" option enabled, the whole 2-Factor authentication issue that is still going on, missing PS Plus games from download history, unable to add funds to wallet through PS Store mobile/PC version and many others. Just look at the first page of this forum and you'll see why TC problem isn't anything unexpected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PS3 will not take credit cards anymore and instead all purchases have to be done through the digital wallet. So you have to buy PSN cards and load the money to your wallet first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that buying PSN cards is not mandatory, it's one way among others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the reason why I meant adding money to PS3 wallet and not the other systems. Good to note for those who have newer gen systems, yet for those who only have a PS3, PSN cards is the only way.

walafc0 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Did you read my previous post ? You can use your credit card with a web browser on a computer to add funds to your wallet. No PSN cards required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I contacted PS Support and sent them a Tweet, I couldn't add any money via any Credit Card to the wallet. It gave me error messages over and over, I tried different amounts to purchase, I tried different credit cards, nothing. The only thing that worked for me was using a PSN card from Amazon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walafc0 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Looks like we are discussing two different things, that's why there is a misunderstanding. My point is that, in a general manner, a web browser can be used to refund. Your point is an experienced issue with the web browser. Makes sense to use PSN cards then ?

Never had an issue adding funds in any of the typical ways, but recently it's been such a pain in the ass that it's just easier to buy a digital voucher from Amazon and redeem it through the web store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is prone to giving people errors though. If it does remove your payment method, sign out, sign back in, re-add your payment method and try again. Worked for me. Failing that then buying a PSN card from a retailer is another option. 2 hours ago, LegendExeter said: You have to buy a PSN card from Amazon and then redeem the code on playstationnetwork.com Codes can also be redeemed directly on the PS3 still I believe.

I will never understand why Sony can't seem to fix their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to hit Redeem Code on their website and use the code you get from the card. Then on the PS3 store exit the cart go to search give it a minute or two and go back into cart and the funds will be added to your wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
