tried to order a couple of books Sunday evening on Amazon. Placed the order, thought nothing more of it.
a couple of hours later, i'm checking emails. i have an alert from Amazon, saying that payment was declined for the order. i check my payment methods and it's the current credit card that i've been using on many things. in fact, i'd just used the card Saturday to purchase a few things at a local store without any problems.
i'll cut out some of the in-betweens from sunday night to last night and just say that i went through the process several times of cancelling orders and retrying to order again, at least once from a different seller.
finally, last night, i figured out the problem. my credit card's expiration date is in 2018. as it was on file on Amazon, it was listed as 2017. i corrected this last night and -- magic!! my orders have been accepted. One is, in fact, already in the process of being shipped. the other is being processed and i expect it to be cleared and moving into the "being shipped" phase before the end of the day.
so frustrating in the mean time trying to figure things out ...
