Can no longer buy skype credit in Canadian Dollars...

I bought my computer 4 years ago in China.  Over there, I paid using my former Chinese bank account.
18 months ago I returned to Canada and started buying skype credit using my Canadian Visa paying in CDN Dollars.
   The past six months however I cannot buy credit because the payment page it switches to is the Skype China website requesting payment in RMB.   
For five months I was able to use skype by turning on the auto recharge option, where my Canadian visa details are stored.  Last month, however, the skype system recharged 14 CDN Dollars, but at the same time cancelled the auto recharge.  Now, the system does not let me start up the auto recharge.
On my skype account page on the top right I see the skype China payment company's logo.  Clicking the logo, a sign appears saying:  "This company gives you more payment options." (in English)    My Visa credit card is valid and not part of the problem.  What is the problem?

 Hello,
please contact Skype customer service who will de-link your account from the Chinese website.

  • Can't buy skype credit - An internal error occurre...

    i got this error message when buying skype credit.
    "An internal error occurred.
    Sorry, but we were unable to start your payment. Please try again later."
    any help would be appreciated.

    I have a similar problem, Skype tells me everything is fine with my account but it isn't, I can't purchase additional credit and I'm running out!
    I've been using Skype for longer than I care to remember all over the world, then Microsoft came along...lots of advertsing banners...lots of tinkereing which the say "will improve our experiance"  (offensive text removed).
    Please don't ask me to send a screen shot it will not help, what will help is putting pressure on the Microsoft (offensive text removed) to fix this problem. I've been trying to buy credit for several days now and it will not log me into the final checkout screen.

  • Re: Can't buy Skype Credit

    Hi Claudius,I am wondering if you can help ,I have been trying ,for weeks ,to buy more credit,I am in touch with Customer Service for the last week,and the only advice I am getting from them is to check my cookies,etc.
    I have told them ,over and over,that I have done that,and more,I have used several computers,laptops and iPad,and disabled cookies and protected mode,to do this operation.
    All of them stop short from transferring funds from PayPal to my Skype account,and the message I am getting is:
    Something went wrong here
    What that is,they will not tell me!
    Now,I have done this several times this year and before,and seldom I had any problems.
    I still have around $ 16 on my account,as credit.
    Can you be more creative than your customer service people,that basically are giving me the standard "computerized" answer?
    Right now I have no clue what is the problem that the Skype page has with accepting my payments,they have done it a number of times before,and this is just a pain in the neck,and that is an overly decent statement.
    Thanks
    Alberto

    Same problem. When using mastercard or visa, the error is "Something went wrong there".
    When using PayPal, the transaction is OK, but after that, Skype refund the money... So, the money go from my bank account immediate, and after 3-7 days go back.
    My cards are OK, my PayPal is OK, but Skype refuse the payment when using credit cards and refund the payments when using PayPal. From the live chat - technical support they say that nothing is wrong with my skype account and to try after 24h... They see that skype refund the money charget with PayPal, but they can not explain why.
    As I see, this issue occurs since 2012... Just do a search with Google:
    "Something went wrong there" skype
    Or...
    Can't buy Skype credit
    But, no explanation from technical support, just suggestions for change browser or the computer... or try after 24h...
    I will try tomorrow again Any other suggestion?

  • Problem with buying Skype credit.

    I have tried to buy Skype credit several times, but no success. Everytime after I clicked the Continue button to make the purchase, it went to the page showing Loading and being frozen there.

  • Trying to buy Skype credit but it wants me to pay ...

    I'm trying to buy Skype credit, but every time I click on the link to buy skype credit, it takes me to a ".tw" page and only gives me the option of buying skype credit in TWD. I'm living in the U.S., and I've changed every single location/address setting I could find to reflect that, but Skype still thinks I'm in Taiwan and requires me to enter in Taiwan-related information that I do not have. How can I fix this?

    I have an iPhone 3G and I had skype installed before it updated to v.4. Now, during a backup, iTunes tells me i can no longer run Skype on my iPhone because the latest version of Skype is not compatible. Is there any way I can install an older version?

    How can I contact Viber support? When I go to their website there's no such thing as 'email us' or 'contact us'.
    They may have a do-it-yourself troubleshoot system but that doesnt help my problem at all.

    Should I purchase Skype credit here in Australia or wait and do it there? I want to be able to use my iPhone to make a few calls to landlines or mobiles if the need arises.
