    Is it possible it's a problem with your credit / debit card? I was trying to pay for something with my work credit card the other day, and couldn't. When I rang the supplier, they had the card declined too. So I rang the card provider. Conversation went something like "So, you were trying to make a payment to XYZ just now?" "yes." "And earlier today you spent £250 on ABC site?" "yes, that was me." "And yesterday you spent £350 on Amazon?" "Oh yes, that was me too, I've been on a bit of a spree!" "That's fine madam, I'll unblock your card and you'll now be able to pay XYZ."

    No problem with my card because I gave £50 to Siberian tigers to a USA website straight after and haven't spent heavily anyway.
