Dwightsarmy14 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Every time I try to buy a game off of the playstation store website a window pops out from the right of the screen and asks me to verify my card. After I verify my card it keeps popping up again and again until I just give up and buy the game from the console store. Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uchiha_Snake__ Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I haven't buy games from the console store in a while, it may be a bug, you should try buying them via your PC, that must work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerCoard Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I run into the same problem on the PlayStation app I’ve tried numerous times it shows on my card statements that it’s getting declined so I’m assuming it’s banks being on alert with all the hacks to PSN I just buy gift cards now and use that.

I have the same problem. I also just then go and buy it from the console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvick_ Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I don't know if this would help, but did you try to clear cookies? When the store acts up for me, that fixes it. But I haven't had this specific issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDiivil Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I've also had issues with the browser store repeatedly asking me to do some card verification stuff through my bank so I pretty much stopped bothering with it. As in it would do the verification and then it would just ask me to do it again right after, never going through with the payment. What I do now is just top of my wallet from PS4 or Vita and then use the browser store. But then again I buy a lot of stuff from PSN so I don't mind having money on my account. Clearing cookies or trying another browser might also help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so sorry I didn't understand ?, what I mostly due is to buy digital codes from Amazon (but any website or local store you can rely on works too), to redeem the code in the PS Store website, but I personally don't trust to much on the PSN security since it have been hacked many times in the past years, this is my opinion tho... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Clown Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Their website went downhill recently after some "upgrades" they did to it. It's really best to just use the store on the console now when you need to enter a code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Weird. I buy things every week. Never came upon this issue. I also suggest clearing cache/cookies whatever you want to call it. Hope that helps. May also call sony to see if that is part if their site process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightRusticDawn Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 "From my own experiences" Usually this happens because you opened the store on an unsecure connection, atleast that's the reason they gave me after a month of issues. Best solution is to clear your cookies, make sure you enter the store on a web browser that have the lock in the address bar and most importantly, wait 24 hours. Turns out for me I tried multiple times and for each attempt they add 10 hours queue as a fail safe. Wait for Wednesday or something and try again. Only advice I can give really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Sony broke the verification. I've tried dozens of times to pay through the card, but the same issue pops up. For the past few weeks I've just bought Playstation cards off of Amazon, and I enter the code in to get funds in my wallet. Paying through the card only works on the console, neither the smartphone app nor the PC work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X_Wizi_X Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I have the same problem. In other forums they say this issue is caused by 2 step verification. I won't disable 2 step just every time i wanna buy something. I will continue to buy through console(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtroxBR Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Try to buy it. Once you get the error that they couldn't verify the card, go to your payment settings. Go back to the cart and the card will be registered. Had the same problem when i bought FIFA 18. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it'll work when I'm on my console. Gift cards via Amazon works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachBoardyHD Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) I've always had this problem but only using the playstation app on my phone, on consoles itself, I've never had an issue ? Edited October 5, 2017 by ZachBoardyHD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowwindow7 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I think this problem only on the PC and the Mobile version of the Store. yesterday I bought Gravity Rush Remastered from the ps4 and Ratchet and Clank 3 from the ps3, everything seems to be working well with no problem on the console version of the stores.

Talking about console stores, it's been like 1-2 years since i started having a bad problem on PS3: when i manually search for something (i.e. by typing the letters of the items) it kicks me out from the Store after a couple of seconds...

Artful Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Same thing happened to me, it kept declining my CC and my PayPal saying I didn't have enough money/verified. I tried calling them and still nothing so for a while I just used PSN Cards, a week later it was fine, sorry I couldn't be of more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Not sure if it's the exact same thing, but a month or so back I couldn't buy ... Fuck. I remember now. Right so I was playing Rock Band 4 for the first time in a while, and there was a thing on there advertising that Rock Band Blitz was gonna be taken down soon. This was like late August or so. I had my eye on it for a long while, hoping for a sale but never bothered. So, given that it was gonna be taken down in a couple days I raced to go buy it. I jump on the desktop site, try with PayPal, doesn't work. Weird. Try with bank card, doesn't work. Try like 3 or 4 times again, doesn't work. Go onto the mobile site, try the same things, nothing. I thought at first it might just be that the game was already in the process of being taken down or something. Anyway, later on I downloaded the demo and hit buy from in there, and it worked fine. I tried to buy it on the PS3's store directly as well, I don't really remember if it worked or not, but I guess it didn't because I had to do it from in the demo. Anyway, I don't know if I've paid for anything on my account since, I've severely cut down on digital purchases, on PlayStation at least, and haven't bought anything since as far as I remember. So I can't help with a solution, all I can do is say you're not alone in this bullshit, so don't freak too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
