Trying to buy Mr. Sinister offer but get this error?
I received a $50 Google play gift card for my birthday and redeemed it. However, when I try to purchase the $49.99 Mr. Sinister offer I am met with "Payment unsuccessful: Transaction was declined". Funny how the one time I voluntarily let Foxnext fuck me, it won't let me. Anyone know a fix? I've restarted device, app, updated payment info, etc., I have other cards on my account that will cover the tax so insufficient funds shouldn't be a problem. Any help will be super appreciated!

Do you live in a state with sales tax?
Yes, but usually Google play will charge your balance and then if you need to pay more will charge your other payment methods you have
I know, but I think there's a sync issue or something. Because in this game, the confirm payment only shows the untaxed price and one payment instrument option. It appears they only send Google a request and authorization for that amount shown for the chosen payment option but when the tax is applied on Google's end, they don't have enough money for the amount that includes taxes and won't charge the credit card or bank account without authorization.
It's totally screwed up. It's not even consistent either. I know I've had transactions that did go through in this scenario. However, that could be related to situations where Google didn't apply sales tax which seems to happen also from time to time.
Luckily I got it all figured out. Had to get the amount to be BELOW $50 by buying something else in another game. Once I did that, the option to split between google balance and my credit card was there. I think you are correct about the issue.
Is there a state without sales tax?
Missouri doesn't have it
<- checks apartment prices and job opportunities at Missouri.
Thanks, man. I learn something new every day.
You can just use the address of a hotel and gift cards.
Oregon, I’m pretty sure
